A road sign is something
that says "No Waiting", or "High Street".

sigh In Italy road signs also say "Hotel Miramare 800M " or point to
other local businesses.

I was looking at the UK maps, and road signs saying things like "No
Waiting" and "High Street".

Hubcaps might be the same rule - I've seen some bizarre blurring on
vehicles such as headlights on BMWs and rear boot badges on some, but
not all, models.

I don't think I've ever seen a corporate logo on a hubcap.

Or are you going to deny that these are corporate logos?

Well, done. They are corporate logos.

However, the wheels I've seen blurred don't have logos on them.

How can you tell, if they're blurred?

Because in one case only the rear wheel is blurred, and you can see from
comparing it to the front wheel that it isn't the type which would have
a logo. For another, the picture is a car that's parked in someone's
drive just round the corner from my house, and it's still there, and
doesn't have logos on the wheels.

In any case, the "logo" issue is a red herring, because Google aren't
blurring logos, they are blurring "things that look circular" (plus
"things that look like licence plates").
