| Feb 24, 2022 at 7:23 | comment | added | phoog | @Relaxed, Franck: I had assumed that the US hadn't signed (also Canada and Ireland) because it would have meant replacing all the road signs, but now I see that those are governed by a different convention. I suppose there must have been some change seen as undesirable, but I haven't identified any particularly substantial differences between the 1949 and 1968 conventions. | |

| Feb 22, 2022 at 22:38 | comment | added | Relaxed | The 3-year IDP are based on the 1968 convention, not the 1949 convention. In some places you can actually chose one or the other or even a 1926 convention IDP. | |
