Road signs in Brazil

Road signs in Brazil is regulated by Código de Trânsito Brasileiro, the law about transportation in Brazil.[1] Conselho Nacional de Trânsito (lit.'Council of National Transportation'; abbr. Contran) is responsible to it.[2]

Brazil signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968, but has yet to fully ratify it.[3]
