Turkey

Plates long white with blue strip left (like most of Europe)

Turkish: Ç Ş (cedilla), Ö Ü, Ğ (breve), capital İ with dot - and the dotless ı, essentially unique to Turkish

The dotless ı is essentially unique to Turkish - Azerbaijani uses it too but has no Street View; within covered countries it means Turkey.

Bollards: rectangular plain white + red front reflector, thin from the side (rare yellow snow version)

Romania: Romanian language (ă î ș ț) → Romania; dotless ı → Turkey.

Road lines inconsistent: white, yellow, or mixed; salt-and-pepper pavement common; divided highways extremely common for a Mediterranean country

Chevrons: red-on-white (tip doesn't touch the edge, sometimes neon-yellow border); intersections: black-yellow multi-arrow chevrons pointing up; narrow red-white variant (≈ South Africa's)

Direction signs: distinct font with noticeably wide letter spacing; snow poles black-orange-black-white; stop sign says DUR

Both A-type AND B-type guardrails - seeing both excludes all of southern Europe/Middle East except Montenegro and Israel & the West Bank

Metal poles: ladder-shaped or mesh pattern - extremely common

Gen3: never an antenna; Gen4: white car (sliver of the back, short/no antenna) + grey pickup truck in some areas + smallcam (low mount, big blur w/ front protrusion)

Kenya: African savanna vs Anatolian steppe; Turkish signage decides.

Ghana: West-African environment → Ghana.

Senegal: French signage → Senegal.

Rwanda: Hilly green East Africa → Rwanda.

Landscape: arid SE → Mediterranean SW → lush forested north; most typical = semi-arid rolling/flat vast farmland

Tall square apartment blocks everywhere; Muslim-majority - tall minarets in most towns; distinctive brick pavement in cities

Area codes: first digit 2 (west) → 4 (east) (5xx not regional)

Road numbering: O-roads (O-xx on markers); D-roads (3-digit number + section number on top - sections increase to the SE); provincial roads: first 2 digits = province code (alphabetical 01-76)

Gen4 truck coverage → far east + south coast (+pockets west & around Kastamonu)

North = lusher & forested; northeast = treeless grassland valleys w/ round hills (deep green in Gen3, arid-looking in Gen4)

Vegetation metas: Turkish pines + olives → Mediterranean coast; tea → Rize; sunflowers → northwest; vineyards → east of Izmir; cotton → around Şanlıurfa; bananas → around Alanya; greenhouses → south coast west of Adana

Lake Van: biggest lake, semi-arid dry grassy hills; dark volcanic rocks → Şanlıurfa↔Diyarbakır; barren rocky river valleys → Erzurum↔Artvin + near Hakkâri

Roof metas: tiled → western ⅔; flat → southeast + south coast; metal → east; low-pyramid metal → around Lake Van; Nevşehir = big uneven sandstone bricks

Chevron regions: yellow-on-black → Balıkesir + Kars; black-on-yellow → north of Izmir; 4-lane divided w/ only double middle lines → eastern half

Water-tank metas: vertical tanks = most of Turkey (rare on S/W coast); horizontal-on-vertical → south coast line up to Elâzığ; square w/ angled corners → İskenderun↔Şanlıurfa; white spheres → SE, south of Batman

European Turkey (except Istanbul): 6-digit code plate under the yellow electricity warning on poles

Ankara: blue street signs w/ small round top (rarely Giresun; newer ones red); Izmir: dark blue, bulging outward, usually w/ white Izmir emblem

Red street signs w/ coloured bottom strip: double-headed arrow with single arrowhead → almost certainly Istanbul (+ red house numbers)

Trabzon (+Yalvaç): red oval street signs & house numbers; Bursa: green signs w/ extruded letters (green fences/guardrails too); Bolu: green but flat, borderless

Spotlights: Bodrum = whitewashed flat-roof buildings w/ blue details (Greek look); Göreme = sandstone monoliths w/ carved dwellings; Mount Ararat (Ağrı Dağı) = tallest peak + smaller Küçük Ağrı SE; Bozcaada island = light-blue/grey tourist signs

Road spotlights: E99 S of Şanlıurfa = hazy Gen4 sunrise, flat farmland, N-S angle; D525 S of Söke = dead-straight SSW-NNE winter Gen3 + lots of reed; W shores of Lake Beyşehir & Eğirdir = single-lane road, jagged rock + pines west (Eğirdir's road has a middle line)
