Here's Cape Spear, Newfoundland......as far east as you can drive in North America**......the end of the two lane road at the National Historic Site parking lot.

And the most easterly freeway: The eastern end of the Trans Canada (7200 km from Victoria) where it tapers to two lanes at Logy Bay Road.

**Sure there are places in Greenland farther east but I wouldn't consider them "drive to" ......where Newfoundland is easily accessible......multiple crossings each day on 500 vehicle ferries.
(now lets see your West, North & South "Ends" photos )

Nice pics! :clap:
Is that a Newfoundland highway marker? A boring square? Canadian route markers are usually more interesting.
And talking of that neck of the woods, can one drive (by ferry, obviously) to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon?

There's only a passenger ferry, AFAIK (from my unsuccessful attempt to get to SPM, even as a foot passenger, while I was in Newfoundland last month).

There are several flavors of NL route markers, with some interesting scenic route markers. But the boring white rectangle is the current standard. See http://www.alaskaroads.com/photos-Newfoundland.htm for examples.

The St Pierre ferries are passenger only but you can arrange to transport vehicles on supply boats. We see the occasionally SPM plated vehicle passing through here (northern Nova Scotia) on the Trans Canada. In fact, we were at lunch at the local McDonalds last week when two families pulled into the parking lot in SUVs from St. Pierre. One of the SUVs had a Halifax GM dealers sticker on it.

Interesting! Do they use the same plates as France proper (with a département number specific to the islands) or something distinctive?
