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:
“Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their child’s approval, more alert to the child’s emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the child’s suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weapon—the power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Thought product and food product are to me
Nothing compared to the producing of them.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
