This appears to be one, but I can't get the photo sharply enough into focus to distinguish the regnal number. Does it count?

Re: Google Street View treasure hunt!
OK then, find a section of road in the UK where traffic is required to drive on the right (in both directions).

Re: Google Street View treasure hunt!
I believe anyone can start a new one...
Find me a car sideways on a road.
(Specifically, it should be turned roughly 90 degrees to the usual direction of travel and not be just emerging from a side road.)

Re: Google Street View treasure hunt!
I believe so as well, but the rules specifically say that the person setting the puzzle must have found an example themselves. Could the Orange One please come forward?DrainBrain wrote:I believe anyone can start a new one...

Re: Google Street View treasure hunt!
I had a clear example, but when they updated Google Street View, they got rid of it. There's also this one - but I don't know if it's police tape or some other tape.
