Bill & Fellow Freaks:
Because of all this discussion of Zero Avenue, I
decided to take a drive down there today. I snapped a ton of pictures and
paid more attention to the road itself. I noticed two things that I had
not seen before -- a border patrol agent sitting in his car and watching a
portion of this stretch of border. He was parked on Boundary Road -- I was
on Zero Avenue, running parallel. I also noticed at least three new camera
installations on the US side.
If you have broadband, I can send them all to
you. I will post some either on my website or here. If I post them
here, I'll shrink 'em.
This was also the first time I felt like I was
being watched and might actually get in trouble. I'm sure my licence
plates have been recorded!
A couple of teases attached. One: the
Zero Ave. sign. Two: parallel roads -- note speeds in KM and
MPH!

Thanks Doug...I thought
you'd be the ultimate source on this one! To say that I'm intrigued buy
this road is an understatement...I certainly hope to drive it some
day.

The road in question is most likely "Zero
Avenue." It is the road that runs along the northern side of the
border from roughly White Rock, BC (Peace Arch Park) to a points east,
almost to the Huntington-Sumas Crossing. Around the Aldergrove
crossing, there is an American road that parallels the border as well.
This is only for a short distance, but it is interesting. KM signs in
Canada, miles in America. I have a snap somewhere, and will attempt to
find. I'm unsure of the name of the American road.
