A tip for mine:
It’s in fact the front of both a research building and two museums

Here it is - Gilead Sciences in California:
I haven’t prepared any new pictures yet (and it’s starting to get hard to come up with more places where I’ve been). Maybe I’ll post something tomorrow, but if anyone else wants to post a new one, please go ahead. 
Edit: I came up with something:

By the way, Vsotvep, have you actually been in Longyearbyen? Why did you go there and how was it?

I haven’t, no. The closest I’ve been is Iceland or central Sweden / Norway.

Okay, I’m not an expert, but I know Arabic letters. On the little signs to the left and right it says ‘god is great’ and ‘there’s no god but god’. The language of the big writing is Arabic, too, I believe, not Farsi or Urdu. The symbols to the left of the big writing, I don’t know. They don’t look like numbers to me. Maybe another language, Maledivian perhaps?

Yes, it’s another language. And it’s important to find out which one. 
Another hint: This is one of only two access roads of a town.

I think I have virtually walked the whole trail twice now, inspecting every passage under a road, and still I can’t find this spot…
Suppose I start at the North end of the trail, is it before or after the first large lake?

It’s after the first large lake and close to the sea. 
And the town’s name is in the picture.

If you take one step to the side, it looks like this:

Urgh, Hebrew cursive looks nothing like Hebrew print script.

Cursive generally looks nothing like print script. Also for Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc. scripts

Yeah, but the Hebrew ones look like they aren’t even derived from the print script. @bugcat would sure have some interesting website about that.

I disagree, they’re quite similar. At least not less similar than in the other languages. Think about how different a cursive b, f, k or r is:

Yeah, you’re right. And I should have remembered that handwriting and cursive usually predates printing …
Alright, we’ve got “Awas”, banana trees, and left-hand traffic(?).

I’m on mobile and it’s difficult to post a picture. We’re on the bridge called Jembatan Ciliwung Menteng Latuharhari and look westward towards the Wisma 46 building in Jakarta.
Speaking of Hebrew…

@Vsotvep: Ooops, that’s weird. 
Sorry for making it extra hard.
I knew that both sides of that tunnel look different today compared to what they look like on Google maps, but I didn’t realize there are two versions next to each other.
We stayed in Jisr-az-Zarqa for two weeks in early 2018, with our son who was just 6 months old at that time, and it was great. Originally, we had only chosen the youth hostel there because it was much less expensive than everything else… Israel is extremely expensive, and we actually wouldn’t have travelled there if we had been fully aware of that. But we first booked the flight and then looked for accomodations, hoping that an Israeli friend might help us find something cheap (she couldn’t…). In the end, it was probably the best decision to stay in Jisr, because we saw very different sides of Israel without having to get around much: an Arabic Israeli town (Jisr), an average Israeli town (Zikhron Ya’akov), a kibbutz, Roman ruins in Caesarea, the beach (although it was not warm enough for swimming).
Btw, here is a bonus picture from the beach nearby:
(I guess there’s no sense in letting someone guess this - it would be too easy now.) Yes, this is a Roman aqueduct.
