So a border doesn't have to be this complicated 🙄

Not all US borders are that complicated… 🤷‍♂

@Zaphod42 yes more of this!
@Soph03 No, I want a canadian wall.

@Dignaga If they weren’t so polite, they probably would have already built one to keep their southern neighbors out 🤷‍♂
@Zaphod42 Canadians are not so polite. That's a stereotype they perpetuate in the media.

@Zaphod42 Ah, but who is responsible for repairing the road? :-)
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
@ArishMell I was wondering that myself…specifically the part that’s the white line 😂

@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?

@ArishMell Just based on the width of the pavement compared to the person standing on it, I had assumed it was a foot path. That would make the stenciling make more sense as well.

@Zaphod42 Ah - yes, it could be.
