The Hop

Wisconsin can range anywhere from cornfields to conifer forests. The standard license plate is white, but a lot of state-owned signs have a triangle sticker on the back.

Wisconsin has some unique types of address signs and bridge marker. Bridges with concrete barriers have a small plaque, but they can be hard to spot, even if you're looking for them.

County roads are marked with one or two letters instead of numbers, but combinations can be repeated across different counties. Most signs are mounted on thick wooden posts, and ATV and snowmobile routes are marked in green. Stop signs might say "All Way" or "Cross traffic doesn't stop", but will never say "2-way", "3-way", or "4-way".

Similarities

Missouri also marks its county roads with letters, but has a thick black edge on all four borders.

Wisconsin

New Hampshire also has ATV routes.
