The Vienna Convention on Road Traffic was signed in 1968 to standardize international traffic rules.
Representatives from 70 nations signed the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic in November 1968.
The treaty aimed to harmonize traffic regulations to facilitate international travel by car and truck.
Key provisions included standardized road signs, signals, and driver licensing rules among signatories.

It laid the groundwork for many countries’ modern road traffic laws and vehicle registration standards.
The agreement continues to influence international transport and tourism nearly six decades later.
