Austria: what its road signs look like
Austrian signs look a lot like German ones: white triangles with a red border, a blue crossing square and red-and-white chevron boards on bends and roadworks.
Small white panels under the signs are in German, and many towns sit among mountains.
The same signs are used across Austria, from Vienna to the Alps.
