How to recognise Romania from the road
Drives on the right
Villages strung along a single road, horse carts and the Carpathians in the distance. Romanian is a Latin language, which helps.
What to look for
1
Romanian letters
Look for ă, â, î, ș and ț. The words look close to Italian or Spanish.
2
County plates
Plates are white with the blue EU band and start with a county code, such as B for Bucharest.
3
Long villages
Villages often stretch for kilometres along one road, with houses behind fences and gates.
4
Horse carts
In rural areas, horse-drawn carts still share the road with cars.
