Everything you need to identify Switzerland in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.

Switzerland drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Switzerland invented milk chocolate, the Swiss Army knife, Velcro, the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee worked at CERN in Geneva), and LSD. It has not been involved in a foreign war since 1815.
