Overview of road signs in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Road sign for roundabout in Dubrave Gornje, Živinice.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a signatory to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Therefore, road signs do not differ much from the rest of Europe, such as Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and North Macedonia. Ministry of Transportation of Bosnia and Herzegovina regulates them. Bosnia and Herzegovina drives on the right as with the rest of Europe, except for Cyprus, Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom. Bosnian and Herzegovinan road signs have two scripts, Latin and Cyrillic script.

The former Yugoslavia had originally signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on November 8, 1968 and ratified it on June 6, 1977. Yugoslavia formerly used a yellow background on warning signs. After the breakup of Yugoslavia when Bosnia and Herzegovina declared its independence in 1992, the country succeeded to the Vienna Convention on January 12, 1994.

Bosnian and Herzegovinan road signs uses SNV typeface.
