Expressways, also known as motorways, are a fundamental part of domestic and global car transport. These high-quality roads have significant advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to know them before you set off.
Among the advantages of highways is that their high-quality pavement and permissive speed limits allow for fast and efficient travel. This way we can get to our destination faster.
Driving on expressways means less stress and a more comfortable travel experience. Fewer turns and road defects make for a smoother journey.
A higher level of safety can be achieved on highways through modern standards of design and regular maintenance.
Perhaps one of the biggest downsides to highways is the inevitability of buying motorway vignette. Whatever country we are in, we have to pay all the fees to use the highways, which can mean extra costs for motorists. Prices and validity periods may vary.
When driving on highways, we can also encounter agricultural vehicles, which travel at lower speeds and can sometimes cause congestion.
Driving on motorways can be faster, but depending on the route and distance involved, the time spent on motorways can vary.
Buying stickers is an important part of using the highways in Hungary. The price and type of stickers depends on how long and with what vehicle and in what area you want to use the highways. For example, you have to buy an annual national sticker if you regularly use all the highways in the country by car, while you can choose county stickers if you only plan to travel in one county.
After all, expressways in Hungary have clear advantages when we want to ensure efficient, comfortable and safe travel. At the same time, it is worth planning carefully and taking into account the need to purchase stickers and county stickers, so that we can get the best out of our trip. Although there are some drawbacks, expressways remain the most popular choice for longer journeys in Hungary.
