This unique car was used for all street view coverage in the Dominican Republic. It can be recognized by the two metal bars, thethick black stripeson them, as well as the white hood visible at the front.
NOTE: These stripes can also be found on one of the Mongolian cars, but the landscape should allow you to tell them apart.
Within the Americas, you will also see metal bars in Guatemala and Curaçao. However, they will not have thick black stripes.

Most poles in Ecuador areroundand made of concrete. These poles are fairly generic and not all that useful to identify the country.
However, sometimes you will see another, more useful type of concrete pole: theladder pole. It has a lot of small indents – resembling the steps of a ladder. Within Latin America, these poles are more or less unique to Ecuador.
NOTE: Brazilian waffle poles also have indents, but only a couple – as opposed to the large amount of indents that Ecuadorian ladder poles have.
