Country-wide 8
Two plate types: black w/ a black dot in the middle (visible through blur) or white w/ blue top bar
The black dot is Argentina-only; the blue bar also exists in Brazil.
Brazil: Black-dot plate → Argentina; Portuguese → Brazil.
Gen3 = black Google car; Gen4 smallcam exists
Peru: Chevrons: white-red → AR; landscape decides too.
Uruguay: Square poles → Uruguay; A-frame wood → Argentina.
Brazil: Portuguese → Brazil.
Very common: round concrete poles w/ 3 alternating lines; doubled-up poles; wooden poles w/ or w/o crossbar - wooden A-frame poles = Argentina-only in S. America
A-frames seal it; doubled concrete poles also occur in Bolivia.
Bolivia: A-frame wood + white-red chevrons → Argentina.
Chevrons white-and-red - the only country in the Americas with these
Road lines: mostly dashed white, double yellow, or a mix
km markers white w/ black top strip + road number: RN = national (white label on the map), RP = provincial (green label)
Yellow & red rectangular reflectors on guardrails
Uruguay: Check the support profile.
Default vibe: relatively flat, treeless, sparsely populated - wide-open desolate feel
