Road signs in Azerbaijan are similar to the road sign system of post-Soviet states (as well as neighboring Armenia, Georgia and Russia) that ensure that transport vehicles move safely and orderly, as well as to inform the participants of traffic built-in graphic icons. They generally conform to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic and Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.
Since Azerbaijan was a union republic of the Soviet Union before regaining its independence in 1991, road signs in Azerbaijan are largely based on the ГОСТ 10807-78 and ГОСТ 23457-86 Soviet standards (both of them are no longer valid in neighboring Russia since 2006 and replaced with ГОСТ Р 52290-2004 and ГОСТ Р 52289-2004) but with additions. Inscriptions on road signs are in Azerbaijani language (names of settlements can also be written in English) and in Latin script only.
In the Republic of Artsakh, a former breakway state formed during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1991 and de-facto dissolved in September 2023, road signs with settlement names in Armenian, Russian and English were used. In September 2023 after the Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian-language road signs began to be removed.
