@Zaphod42 Exactly! :-)
I can imagine two sets of road-menders, one Canadian the other American, arriving at the same set time and carefully drawing a line along the middle of the white line. Then one crew works up to that, the other to theirs. They let the asphalt harden and cool then each solemnly re-paints their half of the border-marker. They shake hands, share a beer or two, then withdraw back into their nations.
It is a bit ambiguous, the way the names are stencilled. If to be read by an approaching motorist, shouldn't they be painted on their own side of the white band, with the base of the letters to its side of the line?
