I was in the Netherlands for the first time in decades recently. The contrast between German and Dutch motorways was amazing. They were all like new whereas the German ones are just fucked up.

There are borders in the EU though

That happens in the States too between state borders. I secretly think that States put extra effort into the area JUST at the borders to highlight the difference.

Me playing GeoGuessr I was once placed in Flanders with a sign near me saying “Wegdek in slechte staat”. The wegdek was indeed in a slechte staat.

Searching for pictures of these signs on Google, they seem to be accompanied by notes saying “Doe er dan iets aan!”.

Is that 🇩🇪-🇳🇱-border?
