All Hungary's motorways and most of her main roads radiate out from the capital.
The M1, M3, M5 and M7 are toll motorways, and you must pay the appropriate toll
(either at the border or at larger petrol stations) and keep the invoice for two
years. Road signs conform to continental standards. The wearing of seatbelts is
compulsory in both the front and back seats, and only handless mobile telephones
may be used whilst vehicles are in motion. The alcohol limit is zero. Speed
limits are 50 km/hour (31 mph) in built-up areas and 90 km/hour (56 mph)
