Senegal

Utility poles here are the same shape as those found in France.

You'll find bollards used in France here. There are various types, but they resemble French bollards in appearance.

License plates are often entirely blue, or blue only on the left edge.

As in France, street names are marked with "RUE."

French and Wolof are both spoken.

Imagery captured in 2015 often has crack-like lines across the sky.

You can sometimes see the Google Car's roof, or the mosaic blur hiding it is quite large. Roof rails are sometimes visible too.

In the countryside, you'll occasionally see thatched-roof houses or houses with corrugated tin roofs.

Baobab trees are found in the savanna areas.

Burn marks are common along the roadside. Roasting and eating peanuts is popular here, though it's unclear whether these particular marks come from that.

Climate differs between north and south — the south is tropical, while the north is dry.

Palm oil production seems to be concentrated only in the south. That said, the trees themselves seem to grow occasionally even in places like Dakar.

If dry, near-desert land nonetheless has square-cut rice paddies and straight concrete irrigation canals running on endlessly, that's the Senegal River Valley (north). Only a narrow strip along the river turns green.

A sandy plain covered edge to edge in low, grass-like plants, with cone-shaped piles of uprooted plants dotting the fields after harvest, means groundnuts. It corresponds to the "peanut basin" (bassin arachidier) of the west-central part of the country.

Tall trees growing densely with branches touching over the road, with small, irregularly shaped paddies tucked in between, mean Casamance (the south). It gets more rain than the rest of the country and stays green even in the dry season.
