I like how the back of his head is slightly blurred. Because yeah, we might be able to identify him by his hair style.

Not GSV, but...

I was looking on Google Maps at restaurants in a small town 260+ miles from Wichita, planning ahead for a possible family road trip.  I clicked on one restaurant that looked interesting, and the first photo was submitted by Kyle Hager.  Yeah, that threw me for quite a loop for a second.

Does MDOT send you to Chunky to imply you're eating too many chips on the job?

This is missing the point, but I've never seen official imagery from a camera mounted atop a Ford Bronco. I thought it was third-party imagery at first, but there's no label for it. Plus the quality is the current GSV standard.

I think the street view driver accidentally ran their camera into this railroad underpass:
Right before the bridge.
Right after the bridge.
May or may not be batticorn.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Shouldn't they know the height of their cameras? You had some advance warning, at least.
