Belgium: what its road signs look like
Belgium has two main languages, and you see it on the signs: in Brussels and on many motorways, place names appear in French and Dutch, like Liège and Luik or Mons and Bergen.
Motorway signs are blue, warning signs are white triangles with a red border, and the crossing sign is a blue square with a white triangle.
Flanders, in the north, uses Dutch on its signs; Wallonia, in the south, uses French; Brussels shows both.
