Title: Google Street View at night
Post by: Mr Downtown on December 12, 2014, 09:54:32 PM
Curious to see how an exit on the new I-49 near Texarkana was signed, I pulled up the Street View imagery:

I'd never seen Street View images taken after dark before.  I guess they sent the Street View contractor out to drive the new interstate.  He got the southbound lanes done in the middle of the day, but it was after dark when he headed back north to Texarkana.

Most of the Berkshire Spur was done at night and the imagery dates to 2008. Heck, the non-interstate portion only has it in one direction and it's pitch black (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5095142,-73.7736542,3a,75y,134.46h,78.99t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sDbSM9rB9TpwGpX2MBMJfaQ!2e0).

I remember that around the time I found out about Google street view, Interstate 24 in Chattanooga, Tennessee had nighttime street view.

Here is the old street view: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.0153065,-85.27612,3a,75y,293.84h,88.52t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1shnUV5so7tyaXKIyfg6_iYw!2e0

Double post!!

It looks like this section of I-76 in downtown Philadelphia was taken at night:

One day while dropping the street view marker in random places, I found that right after sunset street view can look rather cool.
