Country-wide 10
Plates short, white w/ blue text - blue often invisible through the blur (looks plain white)
Only Gen3 coverage - solid white car, no antenna
Peru: Gen4 round → never Bolivia.
Chile: Chile's black-section variant + all-white/all-yellow lines → Chile.
Buildings of large red bricks w/ an 'unfinished' look
Peru: White square signposts + Tigo ads → Bolivia.
Middle lines all-yellow, yellow+white mixed, or all-white; outer lines always white
Chile: Mixed lines → Bolivia.
Peru: No middle line → lean Peru.
Lots of concrete-slab roads + cobblestone roads w/ neat stone lines separating disorganised cobbles
Bulky white square signposts
Peru: Plain white → Bolivia; striped → Peru.
Guardrail markings w/ yellow stripes on the OUTSIDE
Peru: Yellow outer → Bolivia; black outer → Peru.
Poles inconsistent: round concrete w/ pinholes + wooden (rarely Argentina-style); extremely curvy tree-trunk wooden poles (esp. east) = a very good Bolivia clue
Slightly bent poles exist elsewhere - EXTREMELY curvy ones scream Bolivia.
km markers: black top w/ 'Km' / white bottom w/ distance - NO road number
Argentina: No number → Bolivia.
Traditional dress common (bowler hats, colourful shawls, pollera skirts - also near-border Peru); MAS/Evo political graffiti + objects painted black-white-blue; Wiphala flag (7-colour diagonal patchwork); Tigo telecom ads (does NOT operate in Peru - solves urban 50-50s); rocks & soil often distinctly reddish
MAS colours + Wiphala + Tigo are Bolivia's fastest urban tells vs Peru.
Peru: MAS graffiti + Wiphala flag + Tigo ads → Bolivia; none of those exist in Peru.
Regional 3
Coverage very limited: only central/central-west - six main cities (La Paz/El Alto, Cochabamba, Oruro, Sucre, Potosí, Santa Cruz) have side streets; elsewhere main roads only (often partly unpaved)
Altiplano plateau dominates the west: grasslands w/ tufted 'hedgehog' grass, mostly flat roads w/ hills around; lusher north (El Alto/La Paz), arid south (Oruro→Chile) - exception: one side of divided Ruta 1 looks green up to Oruro; Lake Titicaca visible from Ruta 1 (Desaguadero↔Guaqui, lake north) + Ruta 2 (Tiquina↔Batallas, lake S/W), very green around
Andes (NW-SE) = tall mountains between Altiplano & Amazon; east of the Andes = green tropical flat farmland w/ characteristic pink soil (unpaved coverage only around Santa Cruz); cobblestone roads mainly in/SE of Cochabamba + around Sucre

Specific spots 2
