I think that would be the case in most places with more than one official

to Dutch/French, for example.

Brussels has an annoying way of doing it where the sign for a street is
in one language or the other, not both. So you are looking for "Rue de
Ghent" and when you get to it the sign says "Klixpacqtynstraat."


Oops? Street signs in Brussels are (almost) completely bilingual.

When you can find them! When one is accustomed to findig
street signs on posts at intersections, it's easy to
overlook a small plate tacked up on the wall of a building,
more or less parallel to the street one is crossing.


They have a funny way of making bilingual signs, however; they often
write the language-independent part of the name a bit bigger and use
it for both languages (for example: "rue JENATZY straat").
