The effect is very noticeable in e.g. dashcam videos posted on Reddit. Ignoring obvious factors like side of the road driving on, videos from the USA are very obvious from the scale of the urban/suburban environment with huge roads and intersections, huge cars/utes/SUVs and buildings very far apart. Videos from Australia show a more scaled down environment, with much narrower roads and lanes and smaller intersections, buildings closer to the road and not set back behind large parking lots. Videos from Britain, further still. Videos from Canadian cities eg. Toronto look like a weird hybrid with an Australian-city level scale but with cars and road signs from the USA. As an Australian living in USA I am often surprised by how long it takes to walk a distance that looks like not very much on a map.
