Signage is not a part of the challenge. Road lines are. As far as the course conditions, that's anyone's guess. Weather conditions are just as dangerous to a team. My team (Team Berlin) had rain on our site visit, followed by sunshine. Our computer vision broke down almost entirely as the road lines were not visible to the computer through the reflected glare of the sun. I guess we still passed the test, though.
