The Quiz: What empire used the world’s first road signs?
Mongol Empire

The first road signs appeared during the Roman Empire as stone markers that showed the distance to Rome and how long it would take. (Later serving as inspiration for the phrase “All roads lead to Rome.”) Centuries later, during the Middle Ages, wooden signs were placed at intersections to help travelers navigate. But it wouldn’t be until 1895 that modern road signs became common among Italian bicyclists.
