I just want to give a huge thank you for doing these kinda of videos, i imagine you recieve almost no money from them, but you really provide the best imaginable content imo.
I have to say that the tip for Alto vs. Pare stop signs isn’t to be used with 100% certainty. Was in Mexico recently and noticed that most of the stop signs were a mix between the two, they didn’t simply use only Alto.
This will definitely help me out Edit after watching: As expected, I knew a bit of every map beforehand, but I learnt a lot of new information about the topics, and this will surely be a very helpful video to use while playing learning games.
New-Brunswick recently changed its laws so now it does not require front plates. Although this will not really affect geoguesser for a little while. Great video, very nice to have all this information in one place :)
when it comes to the UAE, Abu Dhabi is the one emirate that’ll have a speed limit of 140 shown on the signs, (except for 2 highways with a speed limit of 160km/h) but has very limited official Google coverage compared to the other emirates. Dubai has a speed limit of 110 km/h and all the other northern emirates have a speed limit of 120km/h.
@9:30 Some things to note here on the speed for in USA. In texas, only 1 or 2 roads have a speed limit of 85mph, that would be toll road 130 between north austin and east of san antonio. The other may be out on on west I-10 there may be some spots with 85. Most of the state is 70-75. If you ever see "speed", without the "limit" you will be in oregon, it wasn't until, well now like 15 years ago, oregon finally said they would update their oDOT books and include the word limit. They never have gone in and just replaced all the signs, so over time they are updating to speed limit, but there are still quite a few noted as just "SPEED" And finally, in oregon, along i-5, there have been several sections over the years where they have "test sections", for the name of "Safety" of them testing different road types and different max speeds. So you will see up to 75mph speeds in oregon. My last trip to oregon was in spring of 2021, and they indeed did have a test section of 75mph. And one more map to include, if anyone has it, and if it even would be a think anymore, is which states have a day/night and/or truck speed limits. Texas uses to have day and night speeds for cars, then they had it for only trucks, and now we have just a simple speed limit. I do believe some still states still have a day and night; and i know several states do have truck limits.
you are honestly insane bro like i started watching u for fun and got into it geoguesser for a few months now and finally was like hey im gonna look up road sign methods, boom your video pops up, made my night.
Just a note, in the UK you would never see a 60 or 70 mph road sign as they are national speed limits which have their own sign: a white round signs with a black diagonal line through it
Great video, as always. Just a note about the Norwegian road lines, which you have as "Middle yellow or white". Middle road lines - meaning lines that separate traffic in opposite directions - will always be yellow in Norway. If the road is too narrow, there will be no middle line at all, and if there are several lanes in the same direction, they will be separated by white lines, but then there will also be a yellow line somewhere.
9:24 idk if someone has already commented this but The Netherlands has recently updated their speed limit, it is now a 110 during the day and 120/130 at certain parts of the highway after like 19:00 or something (I don't drive so I don't know for sure) :D
Such an awesome video. Just one update for Nigeria for anyone watching now, there is coverage north of Abuja but the car looks different so that can help tell where in Nigeria you are.
Hey zigzag, regarding the front and rear license plates. Ohio just recently passed a law no longer requiring front plates. Most cars still have front plates but just wanted to let you know!
Zig8zag if youre playing geoguessr and youre guessing the Estonian islands you can try to pronounce the island names The big one is called:Saaremaa The medium one above Saaremaa is called:Hiiumaa And the other smaller ones near them are:Muhu, Vormsi, Ruhnu, Kihnu Love from Estonia
Of course we have speed limits in germany. Only on the Autobahn (and there also only on some sections) there is no speed limit. Ordinary roads have a speed limit of 100 km/h outside of towns and 120 km/h on expressways (not to confuse with the Autobahn). On the Autobahn you'll often see speed limits of 120 or 130 km/h.
Great video, these informational ones are always really fun. I’m going to print out screenshots and use them as flash cards for the ones I think are more helpful, thanks!
I never used a front plate in CA so sometimes youll see cars without and you can check and see if they have a fixit ticket under the wipers, thats 100p California bro
Great information, thank you for sharing. As others have said, ohio no longer requires a front plate. I imagine it could be confusing in a new gen of Google maps since some people still have front and back plates while others may have a decorative placard or even nothing at all
In the summer of 2020, the Ohio legislature passed House Bill 62 which removed the requirement of displaying a front Ohio license plate on a vehicle. While a rear license plate is still required, the only vehicle that is still required by Ohio law to have a front license plate is a tractor. I know this is 7 months old, but I just wanted to clear up at least my own state as I got pretty worried there for a moment 😅
I would like to mention that the last map is outdated and there is some changes If you're curious here is the map en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_Speed_Limits.svg
This is so fucking useful and has great infos in it. Not only for the game but also for rl. Thank you so much dude. And i gotta say you are really handsome.
Pennsylvania may not require front plates, but as someone who lived in the area I rarely if ever saw people driving with just one. Unless you count the Amish.
The map with the crossing sings only said that the Czech signs have five stripes on them, but the guy on our sign is also wearing a hat! So, a guy with a hat on a crossing sign = Czechia :)
Thanks for the tip 😃. Do you know if the same goes for slovakia by any chance? I tend to have much trouble choosing between these two in my games, but if your tip is specific to Czechia only it might be very helpful for me and others facing this problem to make the right call.
Did you just call California a southern state? as a chicano, Southern states usually refer south eastish, so east of texas. There is a certain connotation that comes to "Southern state"
While front plates are technically required in Maryland, I see a lot of cars (Maryland rear plate) without them and the police don’t care here. Haven’t seen you get a Maryland round yet so this information probably isn’t very useful but no front plates is quite common here
not sure in maryland, but many states it is required to be on, but it is only a secondary offense. Like you can't be ticketed JUST for that, you also have to be giving a ticket for something else.
In the map with coverage around the world the dark green is for countries with only trekkers but what is the light green, are the light greens all border spills?. The coverage map is also missing the Mali trekker.
i got a norway round in a place called (volda) it was a pedestrian sign with 5 stripes so i just went finland but it was wrong and volda isnt really northern just wanted to help someone who might see this.
I"ve visited Ireland a few times and never noticed their street signs were different than the rest of Europe .. Ireland does not have black and green chevrons ...

As an Israeli I was quite surprised that other countries don't use the hand as their stop sign, like, it is so simple, why not? everyone can understand that, If i'd come to Türkiye and see fucking DUR I wouldn't have guess what it means. 8:00
Regarding road lines, it is not always true that you have yellow in the middle in the US. In the US, and I would think other countries that use multi colors, the color of the yellow line means something...in that if you cross over, you cross over into opposing traffic. In the US, white lines mean traffic goes the same direction on both sides of the line, or it's curb in cases when the white is on outside. So a two lane, two direction road will use yellow middle, but a two (or more) lane road in the same direction will use white centers. Obviously yellow dominates because outside of freeways, there aren't a ton of single direction, multi lane roads out there. This is why on a freeway the left line is always yellow, because if you cross over it and the separator (if possible), you're in the wrong late of the freeway.
I just want to give a huge thank you for doing these kinda of videos, i imagine you recieve almost no money from them, but you really provide the best imaginable content imo.
hehehe I got this video recommended so many times(google somehow knows that I'm bad at Geo)
4:02 Worth adding that Ohio removed its front plate requirement in 2020. Although most cars will still have them.
good to know!
I have to say that the tip for Alto vs. Pare stop signs isn’t to be used with 100% certainty. Was in Mexico recently and noticed that most of the stop signs were a mix between the two, they didn’t simply use only Alto.

You'll often see front plates in NL as well, especially in older coverage

broooo you included the doc with the jpegs too you are honestly a life saver for that one
8:42 the Netherlands now has a law that during day you only can drive 100kph and during night 130kph so many speed signs have been changed
Weeeeeeird ..... at night should be lower and be more careful...
@@SuliXbr the roads are empty at night so you can go faster
Just a note, in the UK you would never see a 60 or 70 mph road sign as they are national speed limits which have their own sign: a white round signs with a black diagonal line through it
The pedestrian signs have SAVED me so many times!! Totally worth knowing! These are all great maps! Excited to get better at Chevrons now!
yeah it's one of the easiest ways to distinguish baltics and scandinavia. Very much worth learning
I’m just starting to learn and I feel like this is so useful for beginners

Been waiting for this one🙏🏽🔥🙌you the goat ZigZag
this helps so much thank you for what you do.
hope you win one of rainbolts tournaments im rooting for u!
this is very comprehensive, thank you so much for taking the time to make it!
i dont play geoguessr but i watch this anyway
9:24 idk if someone has already commented this but The Netherlands has recently updated their speed limit, it is now a 110 during the day and 120/130 at certain parts of the highway after like 19:00 or something (I don't drive so I don't know for sure) :D

This is about the 50th videos I watched about geoguessr and this is the most useful ever, thank you so much!
Thanks, this is really useful please continue to make more of these :)
Hey zigzag, regarding the front and rear license plates. Ohio just recently passed a law no longer requiring front plates. Most cars still have front plates but just wanted to let you know!
I will probably watch this about ten more times.... Thank you! And yes, more of these please!
I cross from South Dakota to Minnesota all the time and it's so annoying when you have to slow down by 10 mph lol
Zig8zag if youre playing geoguessr and youre guessing the Estonian islands you can try to pronounce the island names
The big one is called:Saaremaa
The medium one above Saaremaa is called:Hiiumaa
And the other smaller ones near them are:Muhu, Vormsi, Ruhnu, Kihnu
Love from Estonia
1:11 I live in Greece and I have to say they occasionally add yellow to the background of the signs but its not consistent
The speed limit in Germany is mainly limited to 130. But the chance of seeing German highways is also low.
Of course we have speed limits in germany. Only on the Autobahn (and there also only on some sections) there is no speed limit. Ordinary roads have a speed limit of 100 km/h outside of towns and 120 km/h on expressways (not to confuse with the Autobahn). On the Autobahn you'll often see speed limits of 120 or 130 km/h.
I think world license plate knowledge beats the like of stop sign knowledge for generic maps
Stop sign map is helpful, thanks
You are awesome! This will actually help me get better so much! Thank you so much!!!
would appreciate a video on road lines itself! Great content thanks a lot bro
Great video, these informational ones are always really fun. I’m going to print out screenshots and use them as flash cards for the ones I think are more helpful, thanks!
The plate requirements in the US can vary a bit as well. I know in Nebraska you can pay an additional fee to not need to have a front plate
Germany: What is speed limit
5:54 Finland actually is in the progress or has switched to Middle White, Outer White
Could you please give a source to these maps? It is good practice to give credit to the creators and also helps researching. Thanks a lot!
Ooohh, this is what I was looking for. Super useful.
This is perfect for nerds during summer holiday like me
These maps will help me alot thanks Zig8zag
New rules in Finland have all white road markings but there are some old roads with yellow in the middle.
perfect for me in the silver division in duals, literally just started again yesterday
Love the geoguessr tip videos zi8gzag! Would love to see more in future, though I also enjoy the other content. Keep it up 😃👍🏻
I never used a front plate in CA so sometimes youll see cars without and you can check and see if they have a fixit ticket under the wipers, thats 100p California bro
Super useful stuff! Thanks Z8.
Very helpful, please do a part 2
this was super cool, I'm not even a heavy geoguessr player just interesting :)
Great stuff (all your vids) - thanks!
thanks mate!!
This is so helpful, man! Thank you!!!
Absolutely one of the best tips video to help me improve my GeoGuesser skills!

8:26 Germany, yeah!
Wowww thanks so much for this
Thanks Z! It'll help a lot!
Could you make a video to help us distinguish Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam better?
eswatini can also have white inner lines and white outer lines

The map with the crossing sings only said that the Czech signs have five stripes on them, but the guy on our sign is also wearing a hat! So, a guy with a hat on a crossing sign = Czechia :)

@@danqerr7135 I only did some quick 10 min googling so don't take this 100% but looks like their guy doesn't have a hat.
Oooh cool thank you!
Dude there are so helpful!
How do you tell the Lithuania and Estonia bollards apart (the white stripe ones)?
You just wing it
Did you just call California a southern state?
as a chicano, Southern states usually refer south eastish, so east of texas. There is a certain connotation that comes to "Southern state"
All countries have trekkers
Nice video my guy you are goated

actually poland uses warning signs not only with yellow fill, but also white and even blue
This will be soo useful!
8:52 The NL has reduced to 120, but not sure if the photos will be up to date.
Ohio actually doesn’t require front plates anymore. So you’ll see some of both.
In the map with coverage around the world the dark green is for countries with only trekkers but what is the light green, are the light greens all border spills?. The coverage map is also missing the Mali trekker.
What happens if you want to drive across the border between Thailand and Cambodia
I would really like a Map where you can see which country has what generation coverage
There is one. I think it's on geopeters channel, but idk where exactly.
Surely this is outdated? Ive had North of Abuja many times. Also Bosnia once in a fucked up trekker
Perfect for rookies like me! Thanks Z
i got a norway round in a place called (volda) it was a pedestrian sign with 5 stripes so i just went finland but it was wrong and volda isnt really northern just wanted to help someone who might see this.
Instantly confused. What does MUTCD stand for...?
Do you a roadline one but with pictures? Maybe it's too much to ask
Hey idk if anyone has said or not but Ohio now no longer requires front plates either thnx for the vid
Had a Bosnia official coverage the other day. It was right over the border though.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the netherlands recently switched to a speed limit of 100 and not 130 because of car emissions
How to play 0.1 sec blink mode? pls tut or explanation! :) P.S. great vid, we need more stuff like this. "bok" from Croatia!!!

Where can I find a world license plate map (for color and size)?
nigeria has warning signs with yellow in the inside and red outlining
The pedestrian sign of MY country is the best! All other countries should convert voluntarely or even be forced to for their own good!!!1!
I feel like licence plates should have been on the list.
there so ez
Dam best vid for a noob like me ive seen yet
ohio has recently made it where you only need rear plates!

speed limit in brazil is 110 / 70. should be green.
5:37 You will never find a white middle stripe in Norway. (Unless the imagery is so washed-out that it looks white on Street View)
