Signposts often show two exposed bolts on the front (by neckoluv ). Other countries have visible bolts too, so confirm with surrounding context.

If you see ű or ő—letters with a double acute—you are in Hungary. Hungary’s route shields also have a distinctive green shape.

Pedestrian signs show a figure wearing a belt. Left to right: Croatia, Hungary, Latvia. (References Comparison of European road signs) Think of the legs forming a “ハ” to remember Hungary.

Roadside bollards resemble those in Hungary or Croatia.

Hungary’s distribution poles often have a distinctive profile.
