The pic below was posted on Facebook. Visitors from Quebec can't say that they haven't been warned; however, it's not a welcoming sight. I can't remember if there's a similar display crossing into Canada.
Reminds me of January 2012 when my wife and I were returning from a ski trip in the Laurentians. A state trooper was parked on the side of the road just south of the border waiting to bust people who weren't obeying the then-new "Move Over Law." While you can't argue about the reason for it -- preventing officers from being hit by cars on traffic stops -- it had been enacted only ten days earlier so very few people were aware and there was no signage. My wife was pulled over along with four other cars just ahead of us; two of which were French-Canadians who had zero idea about it. I felt that a warning would've been enough but nothing helps instill a desired behavior like a stiff fine.
Anyone else have a "Welcome to New York, The Empire State" story?
