The 30 in the red circle you keep seeing on signs is the speed limit. The T with the red top is the sign for a dead end

I must say, watching an American trying to decipher the road numbering system when about 90% of the UK can't work it out it's very entertaining.

Really good on the last couple guesses, the reason it was within a couple miles away, is because you're supposed to guess where you started, and not where you walk to while exploring. Hope this helped REALLY liked this vid

Some info , a close is a type of road that is blocked at one end , the circle sign with 30 is a speed limit sign, and ind est is short for industrial estate which is basically a non residential area.

2:26 i think thats a slab of stone to keep the lids closed , windy at the coast ;)

This really should have been the dullest, most uninteresting thing to watch but, I found it utterly brilliant. Great fun. You should do more of these. Your commentary on the cultural differences between the US and UK is fascinating and funny. Keep up the good work. I enjoy all your videos. Happy New Year 🥳

What you've got to understand with British roads, they were built for horse and carts, not cars. Some roads date back to two thousand years.

19:20 You need to find the point you started at each round, not where you've moved to while looking around.

By the way rabbits live in burrows, we in the UK live in boroughs, pronounced like burruh.

Why did I find this so entertaining lmao edit- OOH Nyoooo Stoke on Trent appeared on the map in big letters on about 3 different occasions lmao 😂

GB Roads are either M (Motorways, like Interstates), A - main roads or B (not main roads) The A and B roads are numbered (very) loosely on which motorway they're near/connect to. Very roughly - A1xxx roads are near the M1 - so tend to be north and east. M2 has A2xx roads, which are mostly south and east. M3 and A3xx roads are roughly south, south west. M4 and M5 and A4 and A5 are midlands and Middle/West, M6 and A6xxx roads are North and West. M7 and A7 roads are generally south Scotland, and M8/A8 roads are middle scotland, M9/A9 roads are north Scotland. The more digits, the less important the road. so the A1 will be more of a main road than the A1065, for exmple.

I literally shouted at the screen "YOU'RE IN MIDDLESBROUGH" when you showed the Ladgate Lane sign...Yes, Middlesbrough IS my home town. Another great video!

About your comment regarding narrow roads in the UK, maybe this will help 🤪 ; Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode, The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road. A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire, And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire; A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head. I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire, And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire; But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made, Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands, The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands. His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun? The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which, But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch. God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier. My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage, Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age, But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth, And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death; For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen, Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green. "Before the Romans came to Rye" by G K Chesterton. Rye in this instance is a town in East Sussex, one of the Cinque* Ports on the English Channel coast. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinque_Ports

Europe is way less car centric than the states, we are comfortable with smaller roads. We also use smaller cars. While we do have "stroads" (a very uncomfortable mixup of roads and streets with 20m wide driveways and 50cm pedestrian paths), they are comparatively rare. Mostly we have streets in urban, suburban and countryside neighbourhoods, where the width of the lanes relates to the maximum allowed speed (the slower, the narrower)

Colorado is the closest state in area size to England, but England’s population is somewhere above 56 million, Colorado’s is about 5.8 million, so effectively think of England as Colorado but with 10x the amount of people living in it

Also ALTON TOWERS!!!!!! Sorry, I have to do that every time I see a sign for it, it’s an impulse! Alton Towers is a popular theme park in England

merthyr is just down the road where i am been there a few times, interesting thing to pop up on geo guesser

The sign that says Bungay A144 (A143) means that you're currently on the A144, but that to GET to Bungay, you will (at some point, in the direction shown) need to turn ONTO the A143... We have roads beginning with M for Motorways, main non-motorway routes are A roads, and there are also numbered B roads, which are smaller/less important than A roads.

The ‘30’ signs indicated speed limits - maximum not minimum as a lot of drivers seem to think!!
