Kuwait Road Signs and Their Meanings
Every official sign in our collection, grouped by what it does and labelled with its official number. Start with a group below, then check yourself with the free practice test.
Kuwait numbers its signs in series. The 300 series gives information, the 400 series tells you what to do or not do, and the 500 series warns you about what is ahead, including roadworks. We split the 400 series further so each page covers one kind of rule.
| Series | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 300 series | Information and direction signs |
| 400 series | Priority, direction, prohibition, parking, speed and motorway signs |
| 500 series | Warning signs, railway crossings and roadworks |
