state border
Welcome sign location
A state border is the boundary line separating two states within a country, particularly in the United States.
Unlike international borders, state borders typically allow free movement of people and goods, though laws change when you cross: We stopped at a welcome center just past the state border.
State borders may follow natural features like rivers or be arbitrary straight lines drawn by surveyors.
