Compared To Other Countries
Systems similar to the H/V system can be found in Austria and Switzerland. Most of the aspects look identical, though the lamps are sometimes aligned differently. Austrian signals have one more and Swiss signals two more possible aspects. They can show a speed limit/announcement of 60 km/h and 90 km/h (Swiss only).
Systems similar to the Hl system can be found in many former Eastern bloc countries.
The Ks system can be considered similar to signals in many countries, at least in appearance, as the colour codes: red for "stop", yellow for "caution" and green for "proceed" are commonly used in other countries.

Famous quotes containing the words compared to, compared and/or countries:
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Attachment to a baby is a long-term process, not a single, magical moment. The opportunity for bonding at birth may be compared to falling in love—staying in love takes longer and demands more work.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“Other countries have history; we have nothing but contradictions.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
