Road signs in Hungary

Road signs in Hungary are regulated in KRESZ (Hungarian: Közúti Rendelkezések Egységes Szabályozása). KRESZ is a collection of rules contained in a decree, legally known as 1/1975. (II. 5.) KPM-BM joint decree, which "regulates traffic on public roads in Hungary and on private roads not closed to public traffic". Since 1988, the most basic rules of traffic have been contained in Act I of 1988 on road traffic.[1] The rules of KRESZ are in many respects similar or identical to the rules of most countries with public transport. Road signs generally conform to the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals and the European Agreement supplementing it, as well as their amendments that came into force in 1995.[2]

Hungary signed the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals on 8 November 1968 and ratified it on 16 March 1976.[3]

Road types in Hungary

edit
  • Motorways (signalled with M followed by between one or two digits)
  • First grade main roads (signalled with one digit, usually follows the motorway's number)
  • Seccond grade main roads (signalled with two digits, usually depends with region (for example, 62 is near first grade road no. 6))
  • Third grade main roads (signalled with three digits, depends on which seccond grade main road it is close to)
  • Fourth grade main roads (signalled with four digits, but unsigned)
  • Fifth grade main roads (not numbered, not signed, usually city or village roads but can link citys or villages together)
