12:08 - these white and red posts are standard for Polish roads, placed every 100m and have a kilometer number you're at right now (also road number every 1km). Top number is kilometer, for example 120 (120th kilometer on that road) and bottom meters. Road number is always on top of these both, every full kilometer. These are useful for road accidents and calling for help, etc. Hope this helps you one day.

[@badAim2]

Also, I know some of the other countries have the signage in the same colors but to easily remember - Polish flag is white and red. A lot of signs such as these posts, chevron signs on curves and barriers separating sidewalks from roads are white and red.

Green license plates are always Norway. They're used for not only big cars, but automobiles registered as a 2- or 3 seater van with a boot of a certain volume, and less allowed total weight of 3500 kgs. They can be the obvious vans such as VW Transporter, Ford Transit, Merc Sprinter, but also larger estates or minivans such as some Volvos, the VW Touran, Ford S-max, and also pizza carriers such as Peugeot Partner/Citr Berlingo, Renault Kangoo etc.

[@julians7058]

Okay so in Sweden you actually never, ever get yellow road lines unless it's a road work. The font and design of the Norwegian sign is also different compared to Sweden. Tricky for you to get but very obvious when you live in one of the countries. The Norwegian sign has a taller, skinnier font sort of and the sign is larger overall I think

I think your luck had enough after the Norway guess 😁 As a Swede I can tell you for future rounds: The green number plate thing on bigger vehicles is only in Norway, not Sweden. I don't think they have it in any other Scandinavian country either, but I may be wrong. Also, to my knowledge, all road lines in Sweden are white. No yellow in the middle. Great content as always! 👍

[@PkPvre]

Italy is very easy once you spot the license plate. A EU marking on one side, and another blue marking on the other side.

[@Tioy0]

8:27 wow

[@GroovingPict]

it's odd how one's own country looks immediately familiar without really being able to explain why. I knew instantly, as soon as the image came up, that the Norway one was Norway, before you even turned around or anything. And I dont really know why, it's just the side of a rock, it shouldnt be so distinctly Norwegian, but for some reason it is. Some pro tips for distinguishing between Norway and Sweden if youve narrowed it down to those two: Norway has yellow center stripes, Sweden has white. Those green license plates are uniquely Norwegian; it's a certain class of cars that can get those (they then pay lower fees etc). Signs with place names are usually all caps in Sweden, while in Norway it is usually capped initial letter with rest lower case.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodluck_Jonathan You did good with Galtland. Tips - Norway has green car signs for "working vans" or small lorries, when you have room for tools/cargo and max 2 passengers. They also use small letters for blue roadsigns, whereas Sweden always use big letters for blue signs. So - Galteland is in Norway (also green sign visible on the van), if it was GALTELAND it could be Sweden. Yellow stripes on the road is usually not used a all in Sweden, unless you have a temporary lane due to roadworks.

Nigeria tip - Yellow VW kombi vans are everywhere!

[@avienated]

18:49: Green plates means the car was registered as a work vehicle, which means a lot less tax. The main criterias are a sizable trunk and only one row of seats. So you could register a Hummer on green plates, but not a Ferrari. In reality 9/10 cars with green plates will be vans, while some will be bigger off-road cars. I'm not sure if there are green plates in any other countries in Northern Europe, but I can't think of any. You may also like to know that Denmark has almost exactly the same system - but with yellow plates with red borders. (someone has already mentioned the yellow road markings, which is the most obvious tell)
