Spotting the Letter P

A Police Car, the game's example, tends to park in the medians near exits and rest areas to watch traffic — but parking lots and pharmacies will get you to P just as fast.

Parking lots and pharmacies alone will usually get you through this letter even without a single patrol car, so it's a safe one to leave for whenever you happen to pass through a business district.

Spotting Tip

Police cars tend to park in the medians near exits and rest areas to watch traffic — check pull-off spots along the shoulder as much as moving traffic.

Fun Fact

The classic black-and-white police car color scheme dates back to the mid-20th century. Different departments tell different stories about exactly why they picked it, but high visibility and easy public recognition are the explanations that come up most often.

For Younger Players

A parking lot is one of the easiest P's to spot since your family is probably parked in one at some point during the trip, making this a good letter to solve during a rest stop.
