The borders of European countries are great because there's all this security infrastructure that they've built but then they don't use any of it. There's always just a bunch of ballads and you have to drive around little security checkpoints but there's never anyone around.

My personal favourite is Geneva which is kind of just an extended bit of Switzerland because the city was already there, but really by any logical sense it should be in France. So they deal with that by basically just ignoring it, and people just pop to and fro all the time.

There are often crossings where the infrastructure is a road-side sign. Interstate crossings at state borders are often more significant.
