Maple Street/Rue Ball Gates, Vermont

At the east end of the town of Derby Line, the international boundary crosses Maple Street/Rue Ball, where a barricade has been constructed on the US side, and the line grazes a Canadian garage. The gates, also located on a few other roads crossing the line in town, were installed a few years ago, as a method to limit travel over the border. They can be opened remotely, to permit emergency personnel to pass, as fire departments can respond to calls on either side of the line.
