Road signs in Myanmar are the standardized visual indicators used on roads and highways throughout the Republic of the Union of Myanmar to regulate, warn, and guide road users. The system encompasses traffic signs, road markings, and signal devices designed to enhance safety and traffic efficiency. Myanmar’s road sign system is influenced by Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals and domestic regulatory frameworks.^[1]

Myanmar became a party to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic and the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, acceding in June 2019.^[1]

In January 2022, the Road Transport Administration Department [my] (RTAD), under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, released the Guidance on Road Signs, Markings and Signals (2022) (Burmese: လမ်းညွှန်များ၊ လမ်းအမှတ်အသားများနှင့် အချက်ပြများ (၂၀၂၂ ခုနှစ်)) to standardize and update the national design and application of road signs, markings, and signals. This directive reflects techniques aligned with Vienna Convention norms and supports nationwide uniformity.^[2]
