Thankfully, I’m protected by my radar detector detector detector.

Everytime I cross into Ohio I feel like I'm losing the will to live.

I'm up in Canada and we have provinces here ... I live in Ontario and in the year 2000 me and a friend took a motorcycle ride across Canada to the west coast. Great trip.

But for motorcycle riders in Ontario, especially northern Ontario, its famous for rain during the summer, especially when you want to go riding. Sure enough in the first week of July that we started our trip, trying to make sure to catch the best weather for riding, we rode through rain for about three days as we drove through northern Ontario.

The funniest thing was ... as soon as we crossed the Ontario/Manitoba border, the skies parted and I could literally see dark clouds over Ontario and bright clear summer skies to the west .... right at the border of the two provinces.

We had great weather the rest of the trip! ... and sure enough when we did the return trip, we were rained on again in northern Ontario!

California still maintains agricultural inspection stations. Based on the FAQ, I think the legal workaround they're using is that they can deny entry to a vehicle until it is inspected even though they cannot, strictly speaking deny entry to people.

The time on my phone changed.

Coming from PA. As bad as MD roads are ours are worse

you know, most roads will tell you. The change in asphalt for sure will tell you exactly

plus for me at least, Idaho is different than Washington

the roadside advertisements is instantly different

the highways are laid out in much different ways

the people are absolutely different almost to an extreme

Max speed limits can vary by states.

Crossing into Wisconsin from Minnesota, I will start seeing lots of fireworks stores.

There’s a spot near me where 3 intersect right on the road. The pavement is in a different state of disrepair for each. You can see it and hear it driving along.

this is such an adorable question.

Crossing into Wyoming from Utah is hilarious for this. Suddenly there's porn, cigarettes, beer, fireworks, and more porn!

I once lived in a small city right on that state's border. It was sort of a suburb tho to a very large city in the neighboring state. The major roads would have signage, but on the smaller roads there really wasn't any way to tell. The main difference tho was that the large city's public transit options extended pretty far out even into the small towns along the border, but wouldn't at all come into my small city..

Where I live now, you have to cross a very large river to get into the neighboring state. What's worth sharing here tho, is that there is a nearby county line, where even tho there's a sign, you don't need it at all. The landscape/biome changes pretty much at the county line.
It goes from a sort of temperate rainforest-like climate, to arid grassland/high desert climate. You'll be driving thru areas with large, old growth evergreens and lots of ferns underneath, and then it turns to dead, dry, brown grass and sagebrush shrubs everywhere. Like, it could also even be raining the whole first part of the drive there, but once you get to this county line the rain almost always dissipates. It's pretty wild.

My state disallows billboard advertising, which I forget until I cross into another state and have to suffer through Jesus and injury lawyer ads.

My southern neighbor:

Been a few years since I lived in Minnesota, do you still see signs for Spotted Cow beer as you cross into WI? I had friends bringing trunks of sixers back and while I would always accept a free craft beer, I didn't understand the hubbub.

When I lived in the Midwest one of the clearest signals (aside from the obvious signage) was the college football team swag on cars and in front of houses.

Ah yes, the Garden State. What do they garden? Apparently strip malls and trash.

I never noticed them! I don't tend to pay attention to adverts though.
