About: Road signs in Finland

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Road signs in Finland are formerly regulated in Tieliikenneasetus (5.3.1982/182), but is currently regulated in Siirtymäsäännökset (8.5.2020/360). Most signs are based on pictograms, except signs like the prohibition-sign for stop at customs and the sign indicating a taxi rank. If the sign includes text, the text is written in Finnish or Swedish, except the stop sign and taxi signs which are written in English (some taxi signs are written in Finnish). Many roads and places in Finland have Finnish and Swedish names, so both are marked on the traffic signs. This is common in the Swedish-speaking areas on the southern and western coasts, whereas in the inland Swedish names are far less common. In northern Lapland there are also traffic signs in the Sámi language.

  • Road signs in Finland are formerly regulated in Tieliikenneasetus (5.3.1982/182), but is currently regulated in Siirtymäsäännökset (8.5.2020/360). Most signs are based on pictograms, except signs like the prohibition-sign for stop at customs and the sign indicating a taxi rank. If the sign includes text, the text is written in Finnish or Swedish, except the stop sign and taxi signs which are written in English (some taxi signs are written in Finnish). Many roads and places in Finland have Finnish and Swedish names, so both are marked on the traffic signs. This is common in the Swedish-speaking areas on the southern and western coasts, whereas in the inland Swedish names are far less common. In northern Lapland there are also traffic signs in the Sámi language. At many unregulated intersections the practice is to yield to traffic on-coming from the right, unless there is a “yield” or "give way” sign posted for the right on-coming traffic. This can be a problem on some streets since these signs are not always visible to traffic that does not have to yield. Therefore, unless a driver is experienced with the area and its signs, they should take care to give way to the right at an intersection, even if the road he or she is on appears to be the priority road. Finnish road signs depict gender-neutral people with stylized silhouettes since 2020; between 1982 and 2020, the designs were realistic, as was common in most Scandinavian countries at the time. Since the last legal reform, most of the pictograms and arrows are identical to their German counterparts, whereas the new diagrams for people are similar to the Danish models. In addition, Åland, an autonomous region of Finland, has some in Swedish-style signs and all are written in the Swedish language. (en)
  • I segnali stradali in Finlandia sono regolati dal Tieliikenneasetus 1982 (Codice della strada finlandese del 1982) e per ultimo aggiornati dal Tieliikenneasetuksesta (Regolamento sulla segnaletica) nel 2007. Sono installati lungo il ciglio della strada sul lato destro della carreggiata e sono suddivisi in segnali di pericolo, di precedenza, di divieto e restrizione, di obbligo, di regolazione stradale, di indicazione, di aiuto alla guida e pannelli integrativi. Se vi è del testo nei segnali, questo è in lingua finlandese o svedese, senza traduzioni in altre lingue. Siccome molte località o strade hanno nomi in finlandese e svedese, sui segnali stradali sono riportate entrambe le versioni, soprattutto nelle zone nel sud ed ovest della Finlandia, mentre nelle parti interne dello Stato i nomi svedesi sono meno frequenti. In Lapponia, nel nord del Paese, i nomi sono anche riportati in lingua sami. La maggior parte dei segnali sono basati su disegni, eccezion fatta per quelli con scritte come il segnale di fermarsi e dare precedenza o quello di dogana. Agli incroci non regolati da segnaletica stradale o semafori vige la regola generale di dare la precedenza ai veicoli provenienti da destra, a meno che non sia altrimenti specificato. (it)
