Country-wide 8
The only African country w/ fully BLUE plates; newer Gen4 plates = European-style white w/ blue left strip
Gen4: silver or white truck cab (many region/road-specific variants - see spotlight); black pickup around Dakar & Thiès; sometimes fully blurred
Gen3: car w/ roof rack + visible RIGHT side mirror (this exact combo is Senegal-unique) + rifts in the sky
Roof racks & rifts exist elsewhere - the right mirror is the unique part.
Drives on the right (in covered Africa also GH/NG/RW/TN; Kenya & the south drive left); French infrastructure: bollards, poles, signs, road lines
French official & dominant on signs - the other covered sub-Saharan countries use English
French + Sahel landscape = Senegal (Rwanda has minor French but looks totally different).
Rwanda: Sahel/arid savanna → Senegal; green hilly 'land of a thousand hills' → Rwanda.
White km markers w/ red top (road number + distances - the farthest town is usually the biggest); town-entry signs white w/ thick pink outline + bold black name
Simple black solar-panel lamps common
Yellow-orange taxis w/ black fenders
Regional 3
Coverage mostly west of Touba; in the east only main roads (map)
Landscape: north of The Gambia (+ generally) = flat arid savanna-desert w/ sparse short faded trees; south of The Gambia = lusher + palms near the coast (don't confuse w/ green-looking Dakar coastal scrub); Diourbel = the only region w/ extensive rural sandy-road coverage (grassier sand near Touba); NW coast = vegetated dunes; slight dry hills → Bakel (→Nayé); greener bigger hills → Kédougou/Mako; irrigated rice → St-Louis↔Richard Toll
Car meta: silver car w/ long front-left antenna = many roads but never east of Diourbel Region; regular white car = mostly south of The Gambia (+ NE coast + Kaolack↔Saly)
City 1
Dakar = dense capital w/ taller modern buildings; Touba = the Great Mosque's five tall minarets visible from afar
Specific spots 2
