I was bored looking at Google maps, and spotted this unusual road going temporarily out of US, looked it up, and this was the first video to pop up.

I remember being on a family vacation to Europe when I was 10. We were on a highway (autobahn?) going between Germany and Switzerland. The road twisted and turned through the forest, and my parents explained that the road kept going back and forth between Switzerland and Germany. I thought it was cool that we didn't have to stop at a border crossing each time, and my parents explained that was because we couldn't get off the highway to do anything, so customs weren't bothered.

I was there in 2011. I investigated the cemetery that is behind you and noticed that all the graves were in the US except one that appeared to be in Québec. Seems someone’ wanted their final resting place to be in Canada.

Then there's Derby Line, VT where the library is in both Canada and the US

There are tons of places like this along the US-Canada border in rural or farming areas. It only seems unusual to people who have not lived along this border, especially with all the publicity about problems along the border with Mexico. The northern border is an entirely different kettle of fish, there is no one living within 100mi of this border, either in US or Canada, who is not related in some way with the people across the border, so up until 9-11 we went across the border in both directions as casually as one crosses the lines between towns. The official border crossings are now a lot more complicated to use, but out in the sticks we just don't bother with it, and the officials on both sides look the other way. There are two (or more) very good reasons for this: Reason #1, We have THOUSANDS of miles of common border with Canada, and if we used every single member of the border patrol together with every single member of our armed services, we would have JUST BARELY ENOUGH personnel to patrol and enforce our border. Reason #2 I stated previously, in addition to which, our two economies are tied together for common benefit. The US and Canada basically are brother and sister, so our border line is fairly unique, not adverserial as is the case with Mexico.

Pittsburg NH is like this everywhere

wow i need to go ride to that road! i live only a 2 hour ride from it. thanks man!

Have you ever been to the Line Road, in Alburgh, Vermont? It's the same way. Just before the Rouses Point bridge.

There's logging roads in Idaho that cross into British Columbia with no barriers that I can see on google maps. It is the only state that has backroads without port of entries that cross all the way into Canada.

Man, I went right by this without even realizing. I just went off of VT-105 just to see what the crossing station was like, to completely miss this. I still was able to temporarily cross into canada later when I drove into Rouses Point, NY on NY-276, but this would have been much cooler. I guess I have to schedule another road trip up there!

Very cool Keith.

Dear friend, thank you for your videos last 07.27.2017 during my trip to Prudhoe Bay on my motorcycle crossing the border line between Canada and Alaska (USA) on the Alaska hwy I found a plaque that says " This unfortified boundary line between the dominion of Canada and the United States of America should quicken the remembrance of the more than a century old friendship between these countries and lesson of a peace to all nations" . God wants that someday all the borders of the world have this type of inscription

I hope you had your passport with you! :-) Great videos! From Jeff (Canadian)

borders are too controlling. Canadians and US should be able to live and work in either country.

It was like this when in the Air Force we found an abandoned town Comertown Montana that you could just walk across into Saskatchewan with only a stone obelisk as the border marker. Probably all different now, this was in the early 70s.

Check out Flathead FSR between Canada and the U.S. same way. There used to be a border crossing but it closed on the Canadian side. Now only the U.S. rangers stay up there and then there’s cabins on the U.S. side and further up the road cabins on the BC side.

You still have to go through checkpoints on either side if you want to enter either of the countries. There’s no way in or out without having to eventually go through a checkpoint.

I'm interested in how the US and Canada allowed a road to be like that. What was the speed limit. 30 mph on the US and 50 kmh in Canada? Very cool travels.

You are on the land that my dad used to own. There is a house just down the road from there where my dad had his potato garden

I’m curious, are you Canadian or American? I ask because right at the border, some residents (from either side) talk and act exactly alike that you cannot tell who’s from what side of the country.

Les noms sont francais sur les tombes de ce cimètiere parce qu'il y a beaucoup de patronyme canadien francais dans le nord du Vt comme un peu partout en nouvelle angleterre. Ce sont donc des citoyens américain qui sont enterrer là ...même si la moitier d'entre eux repose en sol québecois . Et pour ceux qui sont encore en vie , il y a plus étrange comme cette maison du #181 east Richford slide road : accessible uniquement depuis les États-Unis elle est entièrement en sol québecois . Le #231 de la même route a sa cour arrière au canada .

I'll have to check out the rare cemetery there

What happens if you have a car accident in that section the road

Very interesting

Cool! Richford/Canada road!

I grew up in richford on the other side of town. I always thought that road was neat.

Where in the US is East Richford Slide Road, Keith?

Wats the full address of that road im in Montréal i need to go to ny asap

Kind of makes me wonder what would happen if a traffic accident were to occur on this road on the Canadian side. Which law enforcement agency would show up to investigate the accident? This road is probably a case of where you are legally considered to be in the US the whole time as long as you don't leave the highway and attempt to go further into Canada.

The border "cut" was crudely done and never a straight line as intended. Once the technology caught up to indicate accurate lines the "mistakes" were not corrected. There are many examples of this. In fact there are a couple towns where the border cuts through center of streets, homes, etc.

Yes no more f around at boarders

I am so interested in videos like this No I would never take a chance on migrating to Canada and take a chance on ending up In jail I don't know where the fascination comes from. There are other KZfaq Videos about the CanUsa road. Part of 1 man's house is in the US and the back part of his house is in Canada. Now that's really weird Thanks for making your video Brian (15 minutes from the Detroit Windsor Tunnel and just down the street from the Ambassador Bridge)

Not sure if Google Maps is telling the truth or if it's just some sort of GIS error. Google Maps also shows Terrapin Point in Niagara Falls NY to be part of Canada but as far as I know it's not and other maps show it to be entirely in the US. I'd also expect a lot of locals to be harassed by border guards if this road actually did cross the border.

That's odd that street goes into Canadá and back into the United States borders.

So you would be entitled to be detained because of frequent illegal crossing?

Pacific Crest Trail. Just a sign. But you have a 40 mile walk to get there

Hlo please tell me Montreal to new York safe crossing address

The bike is still in Canada! U can see the border cut to the right!!

The older map shows that it never left the states. So, they didn't know at the time the roadvwas built. My guess!

I wanna go to cannada illegaly from california anyone help

Very cool.... Any signs of electronic monitoring?

Hi Thank you for this incredible video. I do have a private question to you. I would love to discuss with you about something. Thank you so much.

Would it be easy for someone in Quebec to cross into the USA undetected at that spot?

Very interesting!! Gonna send this to Tex rider, from Quebec and tell him to meet me there!! Lol.

Where were u exactly on this video? Quebec and vermont?! What towns?! Thanks

As a Dutch citizen its quite "funny" to see this video. You guys are almost amazed by the fact you crossed a border without having to go thru a checkpoint, here in Holland we can just travel thru whole the Union without showing any border checkpoint our passport. If your interested in this vidoe you should look up the dutch town called Baarle-Nassau, its actully belgian... but dutch, but kinda belgium too, but sort of dutch..... just look it up! ;)

Keith - its been 5 years. Any update?

yup just check on google earth for its secluded access

I own a property on that road.

Good video

It's pretty easy to not need a huge wall and instead just a simple forest clearing "border" when you share similar values and are not a threat. Imagine that. 🙂

Yes, that's right near my house lol.

Sweet

are you bill paxton ?

There should be border control points at both points of incursions… with officers asking you, “why are you entering ____________?” And “How long are you intending to stay?”

that spot would be more guarded if it had other roads leading to it drom the .ca side..then on each end..there is probably more watching than you know of…so u got there by being on the usa side anyway..

Now I know where to illegally cross the border :)

You can literally just cross with your truck from Canada to the US on this road without going through any checkpoints or border Security??

Crossing the US-Canada border without going through an official checkpoint is illegal and not recommended. Both the United States and Canada have strict border control measures in place to ensure the safety and security of their respective countries. Attempting to cross the border without going through a checkpoint is considered illegal entry and can result in severe consequences. It is important to follow the proper procedures and go through the designated border checkpoints when crossing between the US and Canada. This involves presenting your valid travel documents, such as a passport or visa, and complying with the customs and immigration requirements of both countries. If you are planning to travel between the US and Canada, I strongly advise you to use the official border crossings to avoid any legal issues.

I want to go to usa illegally through canada. Please tell me how can I

Sneak me from Mexico into Canada, payment upon arrival, not before

I want to cross the border illegally here

What was stopping you from going to get something to eat in Canada

thats where the kgb meet

Border officers are aware he's there using sensors and drone cameraa as he does this. Google maps are not as precise he suggests. I doubt that either government thinks he's in Canada.

Thank you for posting this. I will be contacting homeland security tomorrow about putting border crossing on this road. This is very serious situation which needs to be address immediately.

Why are you telling us how to break the law???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone who has watched this video is now on a watch list... If you "like" it.. Oh boy! :p. j/k... Fun to see this stuff... I have a legit US passport and have traveled all over the place.. My snarky comment aside, what if any are the penalties if I crossed over without getting an entry stamp? Zero malicious intent.. More thinking about areas where there isn't a checkpoint than anything. (I actually like the stamps [if given] coming and going - very irregular for me)
