From what I remember, they are blue with white lettering. And they were printed in English. I was busy looking for bad guys and didn't read too many road signs. :-) "Q"

Most of the ones I saw were blue with white lettering some had english and arabic.
Most of the ones in Iraq are in really bad condition all bent rusty and shot. We tried to put up new ones but they were either stolen or smashed up.

Hi
Sorry I can't help you with pictures but an Hungarian company called Toff ( http://www.toff.hu ) has released a set of Iraqi 1:35 signs that may interest you :


IIRC the set includes another sheet. The signs are self-adhesive.

Thanks guys. The pic you just posted would do fine. I'll just rework the pics in photoshop and make them to scale like I did with some i used on my "Freedom Reign" Dio.

I have a couple my girlfriend resized for me that I found on the internet.

Oh yeah, I believe that the sign in Hebrew would be the most shot at road sign in the whole Iraq :-)

Very much like the signs we have here in Saudi A. Except for the names of course.
