I'm still trying to figure out the hint.

I think it was simply that it was 2021 imagery, and "literally" meant that the corner takes up a tiny part of the screen.

I don't get how that's a hint.

1 is correct regarding the "hint". It's a hint for anyone trying to find the exact spot, because you know it has 2021 imagery, and given the greenery and the "n" visible, you could probably figure out that it's from June 2021 specifically.

But a lot of places probably have 2021 imagery at this point, so like I said, it's only a very small hint.

LOL yes, I don't know of any places without 2021 imagery at this point. Although maybe back east, it's more common. Most everything is late 2021 or early 2022 in my area.

Gonna say 30 mph (about my highest guess with this kind of road)

20?
Yep, you got it. Figured it would go kinda quickly.

Just out of curiosity, do you have a link to the location? Interested to see what kind of area this is in as it was kind of hard to tell.

Maybe in urban areas (which I suppose this clearly was), but I'd be really surprised if more than 50% is from 2021 or newer in most rural areas and small towns, especially once you get off the interstates.

The St. Louis metro has early 2022 imagery, so I'm more or less figuring that the larger metro areas have been mapped for at least September 2021. As for the small-town part, not too sure about that (my town has GSV dating to April 2012 :))

Honestly the hint threw me off course, since it made me think it must be one of the relatively new 110 km/h zones in Ontario (even though it didn't look like one lol), but that's okay since I got the next one. :cool: It's also funny since andrepoiy used Black Creek Drive three weeks ago. :-D

Next one's in km/h, ending in zero.

City expressway, most likely in Western Canada. I'm gonna toss out 90 km/h.

I wouldn't call it a "City" expressway, and it's in Ontario, but you got the right speed and that's what counts! :thumbsup: This is on highway 35/115 in Clarington (GSV link).

Sapphuby

Guess it's a suburb expressway then :D
Anyways, here's the next one, in mph:

If it isn't 55, it is probably 45. Definitely has a WV feel.

Sapphuby

Well, your gut is correct. This is WV State Highway 82, just east of Birch Creek. The speed limit there is 45, although looks like it should be lower.

45 looks reasonable there. Just because NY would post it at 30 doesn't mean that it has to be that low.  :)
Next up (in mph):

I will go with 65 mph, considering this might be the Appalachians.

How about 50 mph?
Not 50, but I think I know what you are thinking with that number.

Not 65 either, but that is what I probably would have guessed, since this reminds me of something else that is 65.

Yep, got it right here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@29.1812002,-95.4538958,3a,75y,277.97h,75.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1pbYMMbbJSyD4RaEdlwWHw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

It's on an access road to a soccer complex (that's what the lights in the background were for) I traveled to for a tournament as part of my job as a referee. The wonky one-way road setup to the parking lot is fairly interesting.

As for the current picture, I'll guess 55.

55 would also be incorrect.
