I think the only one I have got recently is when someone posted one of the 4 cities in my country lol

Panama City is correct!

I was in the right hemisphere at least, but would never have got that

My failure to engage with this thread makes me feel better about my ecological footprint.

And another of the same city, just to make it easier:

Port-au-Prince?

pomentiful (pomenitul), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:19 (three years ago) link

It’s Haiti, I’m guessing Port-au-Prince, although the Coca Cola van leads me to Mirebalais.

Those colourful portico streets appear to be typical of Cap-Haïtien.

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:50 (three years ago) link

but no, it’s Jacmel!

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:57 (three years ago) link

Success!! it is Jacmel

Can I have a go?

Used to catch the bus here.

Ummmm.... somewhere in the UK? Or Canada?

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:39 (three years ago) link

it's in Europe but not the UK. A well-known city, though not this bit of it.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link

you've got to wait before you start giving out hints! i just wrote a long post and now it is consigned to history.

i got that it wasn't in the UK. driving on the right and the street signs are wrong.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:47 (three years ago) link

ah, sorry! I will shut up.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:53 (three years ago) link

ah duh i wasn't even looking at the basics!

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:54 (three years ago) link

That is France (couple kissing in public, also that yellow-diamond street sign is unique to France)

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 27 August 2020 00:55 (three years ago) link

Red-and-white checkered antenna in the distance.. this is by an airport

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 27 August 2020 00:58 (three years ago) link

Mm I guess it could be Belgium, too. I'd guess Brussels. Looks dingy

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 27 August 2020 01:02 (three years ago) link

I was going to say somewhere out near the peripherique in Paris, it has that vibe. But having googled the upside down triangle sign, it has "cedez le passage" underneath it in France, but not in Belgium, so I'm guessing Brussels. That curved lattice structure to the right should be identifiable.

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 27 August 2020 01:13 (three years ago) link

And the apartment block sizes are too small for peripherique Paris, further strengthening the case for Brussels.

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 27 August 2020 01:17 (three years ago) link

no more clues but nobody has got it yet

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 27 August 2020 07:17 (three years ago) link

Those road signs (red triangle and yellow diamond) are used in many countries I think. This is very thin soup indeed but the serif on the 1 looks fairly Dutch to me!

Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:31 (three years ago) link

There's a distinctive structure on the right behind the ramp, looks like a stadium maybe.

neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:35 (three years ago) link

The dutch priority road ends sign has a striped not solid bar.

neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:41 (three years ago) link

Lisbon? The bus station is right next to the Sporting Lisbon stadium and it kinda looks like the roof of that just in pic on the right?

or something, Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:53 (three years ago) link

xp Good one - I didn't even notice that sign hiding at the back there.

Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:58 (three years ago) link

The apartments don't feel right for Lisbon, but I'm getting football stadium roof vibes too

cherry blossom, Thursday, 27 August 2020 09:04 (three years ago) link

Either a stadium or some kind of bridge.

The red bus sign brackets say central / Eastern Europe to me but idk.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 27 August 2020 09:12 (three years ago) link

I didn't even notice that sign hiding at the back there.
me neither, I was yelling ENHANCE at my computer screen but to no avail

assert (MatthewK), Thursday, 27 August 2020 09:18 (three years ago) link

Have just gone down a rabbit hole looking at street sign typefaces of European countries and that 11 looks pretty Germanic to me or maybe middle European

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:20 (three years ago) link

Because of the yellow diamond road sign and the design of the apartment blocks, I'm hazarding a guess at the Netherlands, perhaps Rotterdam?

Maresn3st, Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:24 (three years ago) link

Netherlands DEBUNKED by ledge in road sign sleuth drama

cherry blossom, Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:36 (three years ago) link

Haha, those yellow diamonds are everywhere too by the looks of things.

Maresn3st, Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:42 (three years ago) link

I was thinking Prague but I can't find exactly where it would be.

Joey Corona (Euler), Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:53 (three years ago) link

Welp, if it's not France then my next guess is Lisbon, only because the paving stones look like an approximation of that city's typical masonry patterns. But idk otherwise, it does look like a glimpse of a Euro megafootball stadium there ya

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:00 (three years ago) link

I dunno, I find it hard to imagine those noticeboards with tattered "take one" strips at the bottom in the bus stops attached to stadium, or what look like pasted-up photocopied flyers/ posters for events - they have more of the feel of a university or hospital or something.

Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:19 (three years ago) link

the streetlights

cherry blossom, Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:36 (three years ago) link

they match prague pretty well though i doubt they're unique to there.

neith moon (ledge), Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:45 (three years ago) link

The call is coming from inside the streelights

cherry blossom, Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:46 (three years ago) link

Czech Republic fails the "Ledge Test", as it's become known, by having a striped not solid bar on its priority road ends sign.

Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:59 (three years ago) link

Well done Euler, it's Prague. Černý Most Metro Station to be precise.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 27 August 2020 13:00 (three years ago) link

Apparently the "Ledge Test" is flawed
