Country-wide 11
Stereotypical round: often overcast, open grasslands w/ gentle hills (subtle, never mountains), scattered tree plantations, roads in worse shape than the neighbours'; completely flat → think Argentina
Plates plain white w/ black characters
Argentina: Truly plain white → Uruguay.
Only Gen3: black car w/o antenna (not always visible); camera often smudgy
Argentina: Smudgy lens → lean Uruguay; Gen4 → Argentina.
Peru: Mountains → Peru; grass hills → Uruguay.
Thick white wooden signposts, often w/ up to 4 rectangular notches at the back
Bolivia: Notched backs + grasslands → Uruguay.
Triple road lines: double yellow w/ white dashes in between - seen nowhere else in the Americas (also: yellow-white like AR, or plain white)
White bollards (one side often yellow) + stone barriers - specific to Uruguay
Trident poles (3 upward insulators); also round poles w/ flat metal-sheet tops + square concrete poles - all good Uruguay clues
Brazil: Spanish + plain plates → Uruguay.
Guardrails w/ yellow/red reflectors like Argentina - but the support has 3 sides + corner bits of a 4th (Argentina: just 3 sides)
Argentina: 4th-side corners → Uruguay.
Green-painted stone km marker - unique to Uruguay; chevrons yellow-black (Argentina = white-red)
Reddish soil (light pink → deep red) in many areas - a good Uruguay-vs-Argentina clue (absence proves nothing)
Houses cube-shaped concrete, drab weathered colours, flat roofs (Argentina similar); short stocky palms occasionally; cattle everywhere (4:1 vs people)
Regional 2
Coverage limited: densest around Montevideo, elsewhere mostly yellow roads → angle-guessing is powerful
Region reads: tallest hills near Minas (exposed rocks + heavy bush) and north of Tacuarembó (darker soil, no rocks, plantations - esp. Route 30 near Tranqueras); tree-plantation hotspots north + northwest; flat → Laguna Merín/Brazil border SE; divided highways only near Montevideo (Ruta 1 to Colonia Valdense, Ruta IB to Punta del Este, Ruta 5 to Canelones); bins w/ orange lids → Rocha
City 1
Montevideo = the only really big, dense urban area (half the population); Punta del Este = resort town w/ modern high-rises + sandy beach, villa suburbs w/ tall pines
Specific spots 1
Special coverage: Isla de Flores trekker (abandoned buildings + lighthouse); Cabo Polonio = unique car w/ orange strap, makeshift shacks, beach driving; Valle del Lunarejo = white-front car w/ black curved back + brown strap on a grassy track
