Where the heck is I-95?

Not to be a stickler about it, but I-75 and I-95 never intersect in Florida, though you can take I-595, which connects the two. And if you’re taking I-75 to Chattanooga from there, it’s actually quicker to take I-475 around Macon than it is to stay on I-75. Heck, at that, it would be easier (if not cheaper) to take the Florida Turnpike from Miami up to I-75 by Ocala.

You’re welcome.

[li]I-475 can be a bear too, and it all depends on what time of day you’re passing through. We’re not even going to mention when’s the best time for which route around / through Atlanta. Also, it may be quicker, but it’s not necessary to leave the signed route – which is the point.[/li]

And on preview, what Polycarp said.

I-95 is in the [news today], scene of a horrific car crash with four fatalities.

With all due respect to the helpful New Jersey members, though, the whole frigging point to Interstate system signage is to be able to get you through an area on a single signed highway, or at most one switchover from route #1 to route #2. New Jersey should sign the length of road that connects the two parts of I-95 as being I-95, or at least use “To I-95” signs. Someone should make clear to the NJ DOT that they get Federal money in part because people travel through the Garden State en route elsewhere, and if they’re not interested in making it possible for drivers to do so safely and efficiently at minimal cost to them, they should forfeit that money and run on state taxes only.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave . . .

I wouldn’t be surprised if NJ won a contest for the worst signage in the US. Usually you see important signs within seconds of having to make an exit. Sometimes you see long seconds after you pass the exit.

Because NJ generally – but not strictly – forbids left turns, and also happens to have abysmally poor signage, you regularly end up not knowing which lane to be in as you prepare to make a left turn. Move left, and you’re guaranteed to find a jughandle; move right and find a green left arrow at the next intersection! :mad:

We’re trying our darndest to keep people out with little things like this, but it’s not working. We’re still the most populated state, per capita.

@danceswithcats

But Bambi, you’re talking NIMBY at it’s finest. Heck-it took almost a half-century to build I-476 because of that mindset.

Yeah- fortunately for me, because I grew up right alongside one of the sections they built early on, and spent many years of my youth riding my bike up and down the big, wide, empty highway. Good times.
