Since Estonia was part of the Soviet Union, Estonia used the Soviet road sign standard before adopting its own road sign standard. After the declaration of independence of Estonia from the Soviet Union and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union, it became necessary to create its own standard for road signs in Estonia.
