Summary/Abstract: The present study examines the functioning of the road sign system in the context of the Balkan linguistic world. In order to increase caution on the road and improve safety, the road sign system should be based on a common linguistic code, combining verbal and non-verbal elements aiming to attain a unitary perception by the interpreters. The system of traffic signs – their security, universality, synchronization, state maintenance – promotes clear and reliable communication between road users, therefore increasing safety.
