The stickers
should say "Same roads, (almost the) same rules"!!
Then, maybe, people should not use bumper stickers as a source of education!
Anyway, there are really only two basic differences in the law: FRAP and the allowance to ride on the shoulders. (I think it's only two: it's not many.)
And the FRAP law is similar to the common "slower traffic stay to the right" law (NC doesn't have a FRAP law).
