I-95/Penna Turnpike Interchange

The reflective sheeting stays effective for a lot longer than you say. We have BGS's here on Long Island that are twenty-plus years old and still working well.

Yeah, but the ones in PA peel after 1 season.

Same quality as the rest of the roadway.

Well ipeters61, that's about par for a state that uses the wrong arrows or mounts the arrows upside down. From all these posts I'm seeing, I'll have to guess that New York DOT uses better quality sheeting than PennDOT or Oklahoma DOT

as of today, NJTA has yet to add the I-95 shields to the entrance from US 130 in Florence (6A) as shown here.

At this point I'm going to guess the NJTA just forgot about all the places where the 95 shields are needed... or don't feel like spending the money for it.

Interestingly, when I went to get on the NJTP at Exit 3 to head back to Mass last evening, there were some detour signs on the Black Horse Pike near the Turnpike entrance. These signs had both I-95 and NJTP signs on them.

Plus the panel on the left now has a misaligned NJ Turnpike shield as well as the misaligned I-276 shield on the right.

Hey at least NJ is acknowledging the PA interstate which was not done in the past except for a ground mount on the Turnpike mainline before the 6 to 9 widening.

Though they should have left the "To" for I-276 out from the blank overlay to not cause confusion about the PA Extension being I-276. I've been content just saying that the extension was "signed as I-276" even though I don't think that's what the NJTA was going for. Google agreed for a while, though the I-276 shields disappeared about a month or two before the flyovers opened.

Google isn't an official source of anything. Basically, anyone can change whatever they want to what they feel is right.

Trust me, Roadsguy knows that.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but is this entrance sign a NJDOT installation or a NJTA installation?

It is 100% NJDOT  .  It was installed under the same contract that changed the signs along former I-95 around Trenton.

Curious as to whether the first reassurance marker WB/SB in Pennsylvania (just past the AET gantry) has since been corrected.  Last I saw, the incorrect "North" beneath the marker was taped over.  Too expensive to keep checking . . .

So that's what was taped over.  As of last night (Oct. 14), it's still there.

Update: when I last drove that stretch this past Dec. 27, a correct SOUTH banner replaced the taped-over/erroneous NORTH banner.

Other than that, I noticed no other sign-changes/updates along the NJTP south of Exit 9 during my post-Christmas trip.

Is the new banner still below the shield or did they shift the shield down and put the banner on top?

Part of me wants to say that the new banner is still below the shield but I'm not 100% certain on that.  I just noticed the SOUTH letters instead of the tape-over.

I passed it going the other way recently on the way to a meeting -- the cardinal direction is above the shield.

Good to know.

At least one more I-95 shield is up on the NJ Turnpike. This on the EB (NB) Pearl Harbor Extension, just before Exit 6A. At 8:06 of this video.

My memory is getting foggier now but I'd swear that was there for a while (ie since near the time of completion)

[akotchi]

The westbound one at Exit 6A has been up for awhile, but this one has been changed relatively recently.  Are there any on the U.S. 130 ramps yet?

Needless to say but that GSV predated the opening of the ramps.  When I drove through there last December; the I-95 shield was still not on that pull-through.

Personally I would've arranged that BGS a tad differently and sized/spaced it to allow for a NORTH cardinal to be placed above the I-95 shield.  Something like:

   NORTH
      95    NJTP
      Camden
     New York

It's a bit muddled. It seems to be functioning as a pull-thru, not advance exit signage (Turnpike South seems to be treated as an exit now). It doesn't help that the PA extension doesn't have its own identity, and gets signed as "NJTP" on entrances just like the mainline. Had that not been the case, "NORTH 95 TO NJTP" (similar to the Westbound/Southbound sign minus the NJTP shield) would be the most appropriate here. As it is, it would have to be "NORTH I-95/NJTP TO SOUTH NJTP" or "SOUTH NJTP Camden 5 miles", though a five mile advance sign may be too early.
