About Malta road signs
Road signs are a core part of the Malta driving theory test. Recognising each sign — its shape, colour and the symbol it carries — matters both for the Transport Malta exam and for driving safely on Malta's roads. This page collects all 76 official signs across 6 categories. Browse a category below, tap any sign to read its meaning, then test your recall with the free Malta theory practice test.
Malta road sign categories
- Warning Signs (31)
- Warning signs alert you to hazards or changing conditions ahead on Malta roads — bends, junctions, pedestrian crossings, slippery surfaces and more — giving you time to slow down and react safely. They are typically triangular with a red border and a black symbol on a white or yellow background.
- Information Signs (8)
- Information signs give you helpful guidance about routes, services and facilities across Malta — such as parking, hospitals, one-way streets and destinations. They do not impose rules; they help you navigate and plan ahead.
- Mandatory Signs (9)
- Mandatory signs tell you what you must do on Malta roads — the direction you must travel, a minimum speed, or a lane you must use. Ignoring them is a traffic offence.
- Priority Signs (5)
- Priority signs establish who has the right of way at Malta junctions, narrow sections and crossings. They prevent conflicts by making clear which driver must give way.
- Prohibitory Signs (19)
- Prohibitory signs indicate actions that are not permitted on Malta roads — no entry, no overtaking, no parking, or vehicle-specific restrictions. They set the legal limits you must respect.
- Road Markings (4)
- Road markings are the painted lines, arrows and symbols on Malta road surfaces that guide lane discipline, show where you may or may not cross, and reinforce nearby signs.
