Road signs in Lesotho are based on the SADC Road Traffic Signs Manual, [1] [2] [3] a document designed to harmonise traffic signs in member states of the Southern Africa Development Community. Therefore, road signs do not differ in design from road signs used in neighbouring South Africa. Lesotho drives on the left.
