We've all heard of U.S. 50 in Nevada as the loneliest road in America (even though some might argue that certain other federal highways in Nevada -- such as U.S. 6 or U.S. 93 -- are more deserving of this title), and we all know that one of the busiest freeways in the country is Interstate 10/Santa Monica Freeway just west of downtown Los Angeles. However, did you know that [...]
I cull through the Delaware News Journal's online website almost every day looking for road related stories for the website and for my personal interest in my former state. One was posted today about Interstate 95 and its growing congestion and lack of money to upgrade the ailing interchange with Delaware 1 and the bottleneck at the Interstate 295 split. http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060709/NEWS/60709005/1006 The article just says the same thing that is [...]
I-15 in Arizona has been completely resigned. The changes noted: Exit 9 is now "Desert Springs" instead of Farm Road. An increase in the number of distance signs.

The advance signs for Business Loop 15 in Mesquite on southbound I-15 are now [...]

Idabel, Antlers, Hugo, and Durant are all still using the old circle signs. For the few I found, they were signed by road rather than by intersection or area. That means, there are lots of signposts with [...]
My first trip through New Orleans in 2006 occurred in early January on a cross-country voyage along Interstate 10. I was quite stunned with the devastation that took place in the Big Easy (it looked as bad as it was portrayed in TV), but had little sunlight to work with as far as road photography went. So I returned to Southeast Louisiana on June 10th to redocument the freeways for [...]
After having traveled to Miami, Orlando, Key West, throughout Tampa Bay, to Northwest Florida several times, and all around the rest of Florida in 2006, Jacksonville was last on the list of places to document. The opportunity to drive to Jacksonville, Florida arose sooner than Justin and I thought as my brother in law was in the area for a week long visit. Coupling that with the Fourth of July [...]
