Road signs in Romania are regulated in Regulation for the implementation of the Emergency Ordinance on traffic on public roads (), in effect since 12 December 2002.
The shape and design of Romanian road signs largely follows that used in other European countries. Romania is a signatory to the 1968 Vienna Convention of Road Signs and Signals and the 1971 European Agreement supplementing it. Romania signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on 8 November 1968 and ratified it on 9 December 1980.
The signs themselves are defined through SR 1848-1 (with 1848-2 regulating their technical details and 1848-3 defining surface road markings). This standard was founded in 1950 (then known as STAS 1848/50), and has been revised numerous times, the last time being in 2024.

1907 road signs In 1907, the Automobile Club of Romania (ACR) installed the first road signs in the country, at the initiative of their members the previous year, supplementing the kilometer posts and directional fingerposts that had been installed by Nestor Urechia and his National School of Bridges and Roads in 1898-1899 between Câmpina and Predeal on the present-day DN1. The signs installed by the ACR were identical to those installed by the Kaiserreich-Automobil Club in the German Empire. They had a black background and white writings and symbols.
