Brown Road Signs
What do brown road signs mean?
Brown road signs are used for tourist information. The white lettering on a brown background is internationally recognised as information for tourists and can often incorporate a symbol related to the destination that is signed.

Brown signs highlighting tourist facilities can be located on single and dual carriageway ‘A’ roads. Tourist Attractions being the second category may also be located on motorways and can include:

- Theme parks
- Historic buildings and ruins
- Museums
- Zoos
- Country tours and tourist routes
