How to Distinguish

  • The domain is .dk
  • License plates are white or yellow(by Geotips )
  • Bollards have yellow reflectors with a red stripe
  • Road signs are often mounted on rounded tubular frames
  • The letters “Ø / ø” are used only in Denmark and Norway
  • Street names frequently include vej, høje, or haven (≈ road, hill, garden)
  • Allux mailboxes with a rounded lid are common because the brand dominates the Danish market
