๐ŸŽฏ Key Clues for India

These are the fastest visual identifiers โ€” things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.

1

Script is the key to narrowing down the region: Devanagari (Hindi/Marathi) in north/center, Tamil in south, Bengali in east, etc.

2

Left-hand traffic; brightly painted and decorated trucks are a defining visual

3

Cows wandering on roads โ€” a uniquely Indian sight

4

Extremely chaotic wiring on utility poles โ€” thousands of wires bundled together

5

Regional diversity is enormous โ€” distinguish Rajasthan desert, Kerala backwaters, Himalayan north, tropical south by vegetation

๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ Road Visual Details

These details help narrow down a location once you've spotted the country โ€” or confirm your guess when you're unsure.

๐ŸชงRoad Signs

Blue for national highways (NH numbers); yellow for state highways; white for local; bilingual regional script and English

ใ€ฐ๏ธRoad Markings

White lines; yellow center lines; variable quality

๐Ÿ”ถChevrons (curve warnings)

Yellow and black; red and white

๐ŸšงBollards

Red and white; yellow; varied enormously by state

๐Ÿ”ŒUtility Poles

Wooden; concrete; among the most chaotic wiring in the world

โœ๏ธWriting System

Devanagari (Hindi) and many regional scripts, plus English

โฌ…๏ธ Drives on the Left

India drives on the left side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the left side โ€” so oncoming traffic comes from the right. The steering wheel is on the right side of the car (visible in reflections). This immediately rules out most of continental Europe, the Americas, and most of Asia.
