There is indeed a road crossing at Hala'ib, but that is open only for the nationals (and vehicles) of the two countries, and even for them with restrictons. The entire Hala'ib triangle is closed for foreigners (it is a 'grey' area, it is administered by Egypt but legally on Sudanese territory, according to a hundred year old Anglo-Egyptian treaty that neither Egypt nor Sudan recognises, but still...), you need special military and police permits to enter there. There is no formal border post only police and 'security' checkpoints, because if there were, that would be an implicit recognition of the border.
Welcome to Africa of the 21st century...
