General tips
Bolivia is a mostly dry country, like it's neighbour Peru. Bolivian women are often dressed in colourful traditional clothing, often including a shawl. Industrial-looking buildings with bare red brick exteriors are common in urban areas.Plates
Slightly narrower than standard width. Plates have blue text, but that's usually hard to tell through the blur.![blurred plate](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/32b391e2e6b1bfa6a85f694c70e83aa0e1790dca/94c1f/static/img/places/bolivia/plates/blurred.png)

Road markings
Bolivia has solid white outside lines and either double or single yellow inside lines.![road markings](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/843d16f400e97bb223574d0ee943db8b5659a9b2/95162/static/img/places/bolivia/road-markings/lines.png)
Road signs
Bolivia signposts are supported by thick and unpainted wooden poles.![road sign](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/c349b37cae35f95dfee547da3aba291aec9e8039/3e6bd/static/img/places/bolivia/road-signs/big-sign.png)

Bollards
Bolivian bollards are rare. They are white cylinders of two types - one has a red ring, and another has both red and yellow squares.![bollard front](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/0ff7fb289fe0542bde8e296230334c338d60a6ec/b4a58/static/img/places/bolivia/bollards/front.png)

Poles
Bolivian poles seem to be quite unregulated. Here's one of the more noticeable ones![pole](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/d6f594d0e5a6be2a4a18b9a646da4ec5f64bdf49/41d11/static/img/places/bolivia/poles/pole.png)

Car metas
Bolivia always has a white halo of a car. In contrast to its neighbours, Chile's white car is far more opaque, and Argentina has a black car. However, a small portion of Peru has the same white car and Brazil uses it often.![car](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/696fb756de6cb0130788acd66ab7ae6bd993e8e3/47cad/static/img/places/bolivia/car-metas/white.png)

Area codes
Bolivia has a simple area code for landline phones. However, many phone numbers are mobiles beginning with 6 or 7![area codes](https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/c90b5ef00a55a4ff46f5301541f03d24c44a4f21/4746c/static/img/places/bolivia/area-codes/area-codes.webp)
