San Marino

 Step 1 – Identifying San Marino

The 739m-tall Monte Titano dominates the surrounding landscape and is visible from almost every point in the Republic.

NOTE: Look for the three towers to safely identify it.

Sammarinese licence plates are short, white and have blue lettering on them.

NOTE: Other European countries will typically have longer licence plates, often with one or more blue strips.

Road signs, poles and bollards are generally identical to the ones used in Italy.

NOTE: Many road signs give directions to the nearby Italian city of Rimini.

San Marino is a hilly country, with many small winding roads.

Most visible coverage was taken by a Generation 2 camera in September and October of 2010. Especially in the October coverage, it is typical to see autumn foliage.

NOTE: Some hidden, spill and trekker coverage was taken with a Generation 3 camera.

San Marino is the only country in the world to use yellow chevrons with burgundy red arrows.

These elaborate pedestrian crossings, with painted blue crosswalks and hanging signs, are specific to San Marino.

Lime-green bins are particularly common in San Marino.

 Step 2 – Regional clues

The Superstrada di San Marino runs from the border village of Dogana to the City of San Marino. It is the only divided road in the country, and the lanes are separated by a metal guardrail.

 Step 3 – Spotlight

If you see the San Marino river to your West, you will be on one of the border roads South of the village of Gualdicciolo.

NOTE: A large part of this road was paved shortly before the images were captured, making it even more recognisable. There is also a walking path to the West of the road.

The historic centre is covered by a Generation 3 trekker camera.
