Crazy things you've found in Google StreetView

[CNGL-Leudimin]

Same. I've encountered that glitch in many places. Clicking a bit closer will generally skip that.

[Scott5114]

Works fine on a real computer.

Am I missing something? The only interesting thing I see in that photo is the "only" sign, which has nothing to do with Google Street View.

I've been through that intersection.  It works a lot smoother than the sign makes it out to.

[Scott5114]

That road to the left sure doesn't look like I-287 to me...

Wow, that is... awesome? scary? I don't know. Pretty crazy in any case.

[GaryV]

And Google didn't blur the mobster's face?

And Google didn't blur the mobster's face?

I'm not sure how that works. They probably blurred it before publishing the imagery, but not necessarily immediately, so someone could have seen it. The article also says he was identified by a scar on his chin.

[Scott5114]

I imagine if law enforcement wants an unblurred image from Google all they have to do is ask.

Well I think the question is, how did they know to ask, since it was blurred? But I'm guessing that someone was able to recognize him, even though it was blurred.

I know glitches like this are common, but this one for Mannheannheim Rd look so slick that it appears real.

What's the correct plural of BGS, anyway, BGSes? BGSs? BGS's?

Although these are probably more like... BGPs?

Cool find. Alternatively, you could just write BGS, since the S can mean "signs" instead of "sign".

Example: "That is a nice set of BGS!"

[yakra]

That sounds downright sensible. I think I'll do just that.

There's no paywall on the BBC. The blue pop-up is them encouraging users to create accounts; you can easily X-out of it using the button in the top right of the box.

People's faces blurred out (tho I'm guessing that's standard practice).

It's a section of road dedicated to the testing of pavement markings.
