0 Avenue (Zero Avenue) is a road in the Lower Mainland, British Columbia, running beside the Canada–United States border from Surrey to Abbotsford.Шаблон:R The road runs parallel to the physical border between the two countries.[1]

The road begins near the Peace Arch Border Crossing, and continues eastward for Шаблон:Convert, with gaps around the Pacific Highway and Lynden–Aldergrove Border Crossings. Boundary Road on the US side runs for 1.5 miles along 0 Avenue and again one mile to the west, with many cameras watching the border, before the U.S. road ends at the Lynden–Aldergrove Border Crossing. 0 Avenue continues west along the northern border of Peace Arch Historical State Park to Peace Arch Crossing. Small pedestrian bridges cross a trench on the border. At the eastern end of 0 Avenue, the road turns north.[2]

The road is used by smugglers, even though the border controls have tightened up since the September 11 attacks.[3] The first known drug tunnel along the Canada–United States border was found east of the Lynden–Aldergrove crossing in 2005.Шаблон:R Some asylum seekers have also tried to move to Canada from the U.S. via 0 Avenue.[4]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on cross-border travel made 0 Avenue a meeting place for several cross-border couples.[5] Once restrictions were lifted, some of these couples married at Peace Arch Park, a transnational park between Blaine and Surrey.[5][6]
