There aren’t any borders in the Schengen area which is different to the EU.
Sure there are. There are border controls between Germany and Denmark and between Denmark and Sweden. They were supposed to be temporary, but here we are nine years later and they’re still up.
Same between Austria and Slovenia and Slovenia and Croatia. Well, at least on one side. Going from Austria to Croatia, nobody will stop you, but going from Croatia to Austria, they stop you on each border. Austria took COVID as an excuse to reinstate it, and Slovenia I guess chose to be very worried about illegal immigrants.

Romania and Bulgaria joined the Schengen area not so long ago

Only travel by air and waterways is exempt from border control.
And we all know this is the border with Belgium
Judging by the condition of the street it could well be Germany, too.
Dutch people famously hate on the crappy Belgian road that separate us from our vacation destinations in France.
It is, if you turn around on street view, the Belgian road has separated bike lanes.
It’s like going from Michigan to Ohio… I’m a Michigander and can’t stand our roads. So many potholes
I remember bringing my car over to The Netherlands after having moved there from Portugal, over 20 years ago, and it was exactly like that, only in my case it was in a major highway (so, of course, there were no cycling paths on either side of the border, but that major Belgian road was pretty much just as bad).
It’s also similar in the French-Belgian border, though not quite as extreme a transition.
Why doesn’t the Netherlands paint their roads like the rest of the EU?
