országutakhoz

Országút is a Hungarian term that translates to "national road" or "highway." It refers to a class of public roads in Hungary that are managed by the state. These roads form the backbone of the country's transportation network, connecting major cities, towns, and important economic centers. Országút can range in scale from multi-lane highways that resemble motorways to smaller, two-lane roads that traverse rural areas. The classification and numbering system for országút helps in navigation and road management. They are distinct from local roads (közutak) which are typically maintained by municipalities. The development and maintenance of the országút network are crucial for facilitating trade, tourism, and daily commuting within Hungary. Signs along these routes often display a shield-shaped emblem with the road number.
