Road signs in Norway are regulated by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Statens vegvesen.
Signs follow the general European conventions concerning the use of shape and colour to indicate function. Thus signs indicating dangers are triangular with a red border, those giving orders are almost all circular (white on blue for mandatory instructions, black on white with a red border for prohibitions), and those providing information are rectangular. Most signs use pictograms to convey their particular meaning. Any text included in signs will normally be in Norwegian.
No more than three signs (road number indications excepted) may be mounted on any one pole, with the most important sign appearing at the top. As is customary in European countries, all signs are partly or fully reflectorized or are provided with their own night-time illumination. Signs used for temporary regulations may have a yellow background colour, as is illustrated with the road works sign.
