particularities

Interstate 95 is still not a continuous route. It consists of a northern and a southern part. The northern portion gradually merges into the New Jersey Turnpike and ends south of Trenton , New Jersey at the junction of Interstate 276. The portion of the New Jersey turnpike south of this junction is no longer part of Interstate 95. Instead, the southern portion of the Interstate 95 north of Trenton at the junction with US Highway 1 . The southern portion of Interstate 95, which begins here, crosses the Delaware River northwest of Trenton and continues west of the river south to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania as the Delaware Expressway. This crosses Interstate 276, which branches off the New Jersey Turnpike south of Trenton, without any connection.

Immediately before crossing the border between North Carolina and South Carolina is the tourist attraction "South of the Border" along I-95 . Over time, a cluster of restaurants, fireworks stores, a small fairground and a lookout tower were built here. The billboards, the so-called billboards , for "South of the Border", which Mexico (just south of the border) has as a design theme, stretches almost along the entire route of I-95, from Florida to New Jersey . This is where the figurehead stands out: Pedro, who appears on almost all “billboards”.
