Road signs in Pakistan are regulated under the Manual of Signs, Signals and Markings published by the National Transport Research Centre (NTRC) and the Planning Commission in 1989. They are typically bilingual, displaying text in English and Urdu. However, some signs incorporate a provincial language. Pakistan follows left-hand traffic rules, consistent with several other Commonwealth countries. However, blue signs reading "Keep the roads clean" and "Avoid pollution" are present nationwide.
Road infrastructure and traffic signage in parts of Pakistan have faced criticism for inconsistent maintenance and outdated installations. A traffic survey published in 2008 reported that many local authorities had not adequately replaced damaged, missing, or obsolete regulatory signs. In Lahore alone, the report estimated that at least Rs. 800 million was required to replace all outdated road signs in the city.
