Standardisation
On January 1, 1980, the standard GOST 10807-78 was introduced in the Soviet Union. In August 1991, after Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union, the standard GOST 10807-78 continued to operate until it was replaced by the Ukrainian standard DSTU 2586-94 in 1995. With the adoption of the standard DSTU 2586-94 new road signs appeared in addition to those used in the Soviet Union before its collapse in 1991.
On January 1, 2003 the standard DSTU 4100-2002 was introduced, replacing the standard DSTU 2586-94 according to the decree of the State Standard of Ukraine.
On July 1, 2015 the standard DSTU 4100-2014 was introduced, replacing the standard DSTU 4100-2002 according to the order of the
Ministry of Economy of Ukraine No. 1484 dated December 29, 2014.
On November 1, 2021, a new standard DSTU 4100:2021 for road signs in Ukraine was introduced, replacing the standard DSTU 4100-2014.
According to this standard, signs will be easier to read, and their accumulation is prohibited. The main difference is that the names of settlements will have a different font and will be capitalized, not uppercased. There is also a new typeface, called ''Road UA'', that will be used. The new standard provides:
* Layout of road signs of individual design according to the new principle;
* The text must begin with a capital letter;
* Arrows have a new shape;
* European symbols are used to indicate the center of the settlement and the river;
* Defined clear proportions and distances between the elements, depending on the size of the capital letter, which is chosen based on the location of the sign and the category of the road;
* Transliteration of names of settlements is provided.
In addition, this standard will have a new designation of diagonal pedestrian crossings and a new sign for safety islands. Signs and signs to road signs for the development of
