[edit] The exit list should cover the Eastern Spur

The Eastern spur is designated I-95, not the western spur. Crazyswordsman 13:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mind the gap

A photo of the warning signs at the I-95 gap would be excellent. I have bad memories of getting lost in that gap....--M@rēino 15:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe I'm missing something, or the map I am looking at is wrong, but why not designate I-95 from the I-95/295/495 junction in Delaware over the current 295 into New Jersey, then have it follow the Jersey turnpike. The old section of I-95 that current exists would be resigned as I-295. Is there something I am missing with this or does that solution make too much sense? --Holderca1 18:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

It does make too much sense. The two problems I've heard as to why that didn't happen are (1) minimizing interstate designations on toll roads, and (2) that would make it so I-95 no longer directly serves Philadelphia. I think the page on http://www.nycroads.com explains it in further detail. -- NORTH talk 22:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interstate standards

Other than being a toll road (in which case none of the Turnpike is built to Interstate standards), how exactly is the Turnpike below Exit 6 "not built to Interstate Highway standards?" Is it that it bypasses Philadelphia? That's not really an issue with the construction of the road itself, but rather its alignment. Otherwise most of the Turnpike actually exceeds most Interstate standards (lane width, grading, etc). Mjj237 05:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Error in NJTPK/I-95 Designation

I just posted a comment on the main New Jersey Turnpike discussion page. The designations shown in this article are incorrect. When the PATPK/I-95 connector is complete, then I-95 will begin in NJ at Exit 6 as stated. Until then (and for decades prior), the Turnpike does not become I-95 officially until Exit 10 in Edison, and there are numerous signs in both directions stating "To I-95" between 7A and 10. 71.125.129.29 23:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Please see the I-95 straight line diagram (3rd one down in "External links"), as well as this page. Officially, I-95 does end at the Pennsylvania state line on the Pennsylvania extension.
That being said, you may be correct that the statements in the article regarding signage are incorrect, as I've never seen any sources to confirm this. -- NORTH talk 23:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why was the NJ Turnpike section of the exit list removed?

While they may SEEM to be identical... the I-95 version listed I-95 mileposts, while the NJTP version lists the NJTP mileposts. They were NOT identical. I vote to have it added back to the page.Famartin 14:50, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

How about adding the I-95 mileposts to the Turnpike list? --NE2 18:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I suppose that would be acceptable as well Famartin 01:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
