Road signs in Zimbabwe have many variations unique to Zimbabwe, but generally stay close to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals concerning the use of shape and colour to indicate function.
Recently, the Government of Zimbabwe agreed to harmonize traffic signs with those in other SADC countries. The SADC-RTSM became native legislation in Zimbabwe in 2016, however the progress of implementation is slow.
Until 2016, Zimbabwe formerly Southern Rhodesia along with Malawi formerly Nyasaland and Zambia formerly Northern Rhodesia were in use including warning road signs consist of an upwards-pointed triangle, with a plate below using pictograms to convey their particular meaning (similar to signs used in Britain before the 1960s), but no longer in use since 31st December 2016. These signs were also used after the Rhodesian Declaration of Independence in 1965.
