Thanks for this. I had the extreme pleasure of working on the design team for interchange 15 (Pulaski Skyway) from 1966 to 1968. It is the pinnacle of interchange design, mot dramatic, but adding two 3 lane roadways to the original two 3 lane roadways and then having to connect them all to the toll booth. All conctruction was done "under traffic" to make it even more complex, in addition to wet ex because it is in the Jersey Meadow. Also got to design a stormwater detention basin in the toll booth side because of some extreme restrictions into the Newark Stormwater system. Interesting thing was there were no procedures for a basin so we had to make them up. Learned a lot that I used throughout my career. Also thanks for the trip, I live at the western end of I-78 (Interchange 14) and never get to see the mainline and its signage since I am always on the entry and exit ramps. For those of you not familiar with this the ramps are also 3 lanes each making about a mile of this roadway 18 lanes wide on 6 roadways.
Trenton to Newark is never a great ride. This brings back unpleasant memories of eleven years of getting up at 5 AM to make this trip into downtown Newark for work, mostly on a van pool with very despicable fellow passengers. If I had to do it any longer than I did, I wouldn't be here to write about it.
That's weird - I never looked at it that way until I saw it on the map. I just considered it the NJ Turnpike extension at exit 6 that went to the PA turnpike... never thought of it as I95. Never recall seeing an I-95 shield either except on the above road signs. I've always taken 195 back from Trenton. I learned 2 new things today. Edit: Just missed a takeoff at 37:00
NJTPA recently announced they will move to cashless open-road tolling on NJ Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. I can’t wait! No more of those horrible toll plazas getting on/off the turnpike in northern NJ.
When you drove up towards the airport, I could smell the air again. Not a pleasant smell. You know, that sickly sweet, almost bad vitamin smell. But when you got to the tunnel, I was waiting for you to pull off on the viaduct. Ahhh...that commute!
Nice video. Driving a car I always go for the cars only lanes, but as I get older I believe the trucks and buses may be a bit safer because beyond the shoulder there aren’t guardrails, it feels less constrained if for some reason one has an emergency or an urge…
If this were in crappy VA all roads and intersections, even where the grades are separated with bridges, shitass VDOT would have them all cluttered with traffic lights every two feet.

Your city limits are indeed exact. Right down the the Mile marker. Kudos to you.
frequently use i-95 east from Passaic County to NYC its honestly one of the best designed roadways i've ever seen despite the traffic
Wish more roads where like the NJ turnpike with sperated lanes for trucks and busses / cars. Or even better an express and local lanes
The downside is the long distance between exits. When you're stuck in traffic, you're stuck. Or when you miss an exit it's a long way back
NJ has express/local lanes for portions of I-78 and I-80
Nice ride from Trenton NJ to Newark NJ along interstate 95(the new jersey turnpike)
Awesome drive along the New Jersey Turnpike
This is a great ride on I 95 from Trenton to Newark.
Absolutely

They just recently made that part I-95 if I recall. It was done to "complete" the missing link in I-95 from the cancelled Somerset Freeway.
?
Best highway in North America. We Canadaians are stuck with old age garbage infrastructure.
That's because it's New Jearsy u should see how new york maintains its highways
I love driving with you on my screen…where I don’t have to wear a seatbelt 🤣
The best way!
turnpike boys stand up. all my homies hate the parkway

It would save a lot of space if they got rid of those. That’s the reason for all those wacky interchanges along the route.
I-95 around the NYC metro area might be my least favorite place to drive in the country 😂

I’m from NY and have traveled this road many times. I’m now in the Charlotte N.C. Area and the only N-S route is I77 and it totally SUCKS!
I worked on the NJTP for 30 years you took out all the land marks along the way you made it just another roadway
Nice video. Driving a car I always go for the cars only lanes, but as I get older I believe the trucks and buses may be a bit safer because beyond the shoulder there aren’t guardrails, it feels less constrained if for some reason one has an emergency or an urge…
i live in of the towns the exit goes through!
Always traffic on interstate 95 north New Jersey turnpike from Trenton to Newark NJ
Why are long stretches of the New Jersey Turnpike’s lights not on at night ?
32:26 trying to figure out how and why that Walmart truck is there lol
So much traffic
Entering the Turnpike at Interchange 7A (I-195)
did you count all the cars?
How do you stay silent for an hour without commenting on peoples' driving? :)
33:45
I drove from Trenton all the way to Patterson to watch my friend’s boxing match, the Turnpike is easy, but the Parkway is very annoying.
So it isn’t a cash lane ? I have to take a trip to newark frm cherry hill .
Nope. Electronic only. You could use US 1 to get there also and avoid the tolls.
@@MileageMikeTravels thanks
Were you ever a truck driver or a chauffeur driver for you to be doing these videos?
No I just like driving and seeing new places.
I live in New Jersey by the way…..
Nice!!
i wish i could live there
👍👍👍👍🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
