Where I live in the USA, the countryside and urban settings are trashed with signs, billboards and visual clutter. Deutschland has managed to keep it neat and tidy! The necessary road signs are unobtrusive, but nevertheless stand out, because there is no clutter to distract one's gaze. Very peaceful! 💚
