Zambian Road Network

Hi @Chils Kemptonian:, I noticed you live in Zambia and wanted to ask about road signs and markers in the country. Like in South Africa, we have markers for every road, I.e. The N1 marker below.

Does Zambia follow the SADC standard

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SVG_road_signs_in_the_Southern_African_Development_Community (Commons Road Signs)

https://www.transport.gov.za/documents/11623/109113/SARTSM_V2full_2019_compressed-pages_1_51.pdf/106cc340-5d33-49ef-81f6-f6096ab6a10d (Standardization report)

If they follow a similar pattern of the South African Signs such as the N1, I can easily edit the market to display a “T” or “M” instead of an “N”

TapticInfo (talk) 20:26, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Zambia doesn't have an exact unique design for its road signs. In the past, there used to be signs by "major junctions" alone which would indicate which towns are found if you turn right, left or head straight; I was very young in those days but if I'm not wrong, they looked exactly like the South-African road signs for "Regional & Provincial Routes" (in green). Those signs have been removed in the past years, probably by citizens, without being replaced. At present, only the Turnpike junction 55 kilometres south of Lusaka (Livingstone Turn-Off) should have signs looking like that at the moment.

In some other parts, they would simply mention at junctions which towns are found in which direction on amateur boards without mentioning the route numbers for the respective roads.

So, these "numbered routes in Zambia" are rarely displayed anywhere away from GPS systems like Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. When one drives around Zambia, they will not see any signs indicating that this is the "T3" or this is the "T2". That's the problem with Zambia. Even the "Zambia Highway Code" doesn't say much about the design for each "numbered route in Zambia".

Wikimedia South Africa Engagement

Good Day Fellow Wikimedian

I write to invite you to a Wikimedia ZA birthday celebration which will take place on 22 February 2025 at the Goethe Institut in Parktown, Johannesburg and Code Bridge in Cape Town as well as online if you will not be able to join in person.

Wikimedia South Africa is a chapter founded on 25 February 2012 after being approved as a chapter by the Wikimedia Foundation on 26 March 2011. Our chapter seeks to promote local awareness of the projects and their proper academic use, encourage translation efforts into local languages and support the creation of local free knowledge and media

We are always looking to support South Africans or Africans in the promotion of free knowledge and to promote the enhancement of local knowledge in local languages on wikipedia and online for the benefit of all.

As a chapter engagement is an important strategic initiative and we would encourage you to check out the chapter on the links below. Links:

Each month the Chapter hosts In-Person Meetups in Cape Town and Johannesburg where fellow Wikimedians and newcomers meet to enjoy refreshments and snacks and to discuss Wikipedia, Wikimedia South Africa initiatives and to isolate community needs.

In February our next Chapter Meetups will occur in person in Johannesburg at the Goethe Institut:

and in Cape Town at the Codebridge offices:

This meetup will be special as we will be celebrating the 13th Anniversary of Wikimedia South Africa and the 24th Anniversary of Wikipedia. There will be refreshments and entertainment.

We will be reflecting on our past year as well as our plans for the Chapter in 2025 and would love for you to participate. If you are able to attend in person please RSVP so we can appropriately plan by completing the form by 12th February 2025:
