U.S. 95 - North

Begin Northbound U.S. 95/Truck U.S. 95 at the Truck Crossing at the International Border. This is the first U.S. 95 signage heading northbound at the truck crossing. As shown by the sign, U.S. 95 turns left (west) toward the auto crossing, then turns north through downtown San Luis. Truck U.S. 95 goes straight north from this point, bypassing downtown, and reunites with U.S. 95 about a half mile northwest of here.

From the truck crossing, U.S. 95 goes west for a block or two, then turns north, as indicated by this sign, to enter downtown San Luis. If you were to turn left at this intersection, you'd cross into Mexico via the auto crossing.

11/10/00

U.S. 95 turn right sign in San Luis at 17th Street in San Luis. At this point, northbound U.S. 95 is parallel to the border heading westerly. The right turn will take travelers into downtown San Luis and eventually northbound out of town.

After the junction with Business Loop I-8 in Yuma, U.S. 95 travels due east on 16th Street (signed as "north") toward its junction with Interstate 8.

U.S. 95 (16th Street) east (north) approaches its Interstate 8 just north of Yuma. The south side of this interchange (hidden by the hill) has a proliferation of fast food, motels, and chain restaurants near the freeway entrance/exit ramps. The control cities for Interstate 8 are San Diego (west) and Tucson (east) with Phoenix listed for the connection via SR 85.

This trailblazer shield for Interstate 8 east is posted after the overhead signs shown in the previous photo.

A freeway entrance assembly for Interstate 8 east used to be in place for the ramps onto Interstate 8 from U.S. 95. However, these signs were removed in 2006. Today, there is a trailblazer for Interstate 8 but no "freeway entrance" sign.

01/14/05

A chain link fence-enclosed pedestrian walkway crosses Interstate 8 along northbound U.S. 95. At this exact moment, there was no traffic on the U.S. 95 bridge! But this is a rarity, as the bridge is usually quite busy with traffic.
