Maine's standard license plate looks a pale green. It can easily be distinguished from the striking green Vermont plate, but not as easily from New Hampshire's standard plate. Vehicles in Maine also require a registration sticker, which looks like a rectangle with a small chunk removed from one side.
Maine uses the state-wide area code 207, and uses a unique town line sign and green bridge marker.

Horizontal wood siding architecture is common, as are brown, rusting sign posts and yellow paint marking drainage. Local attraction signs tend to be blue, and many intersection islands are painted green.
