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.
