unfortunately, I didn't take notice at the time. I think I recall seeing
them and it did seem to be something that was part of the sign (at least the
green one), but I wouldn't swear to it.

They did appear to be at pretty close to exactly the same spot. The highway
there was two lanes on either side with maybe three times that much of a
median, so I didn't exactly line them up, but it was close enough that it
seemed right to me. Also, we don't know for sure that the highway is
perpendicular to the state line. It might be off by a few degrees. I am
sorry I didn't examine the marker more closely.

Yeah, I meant to see if there was one in Tamaulipas, but when I took off,
forgot to. I didn't see one, but it is possible. When arriving in
Monterrey, there is a floral sign saying "Bienvenidos" and when leaving
"Buen dia"
