Conventions on Motor Traffic are agreements between countries for the purpose of facilitating the international road traffic by means of adoption of uniform road traffic rules and documents. The United Nations treaty collections contain three Conventions: the Paris Convention on Motor Traffic of 1926, the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949, and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968 (Vienna). Each new agreement terminated and replaced previous one and had certain additions concerning the international road traffic and requirements of the motor transports and documentations. Along with other demands, Conventions on Motor Traffic require that countries respect foreign driving permits through International driving permits whose models are determined by agreements.
Countries that have not ratified the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968 remain parties of the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949.
