Lady Bird Johnson's I-95 Landscape-Landmark Tour Galleries
This section of I-95 in Virginia illustrates many of the safety features built into the Interstate System. These features include: controlled access, wide median dividing opposing traffic, long sight distances, gentle curvatures, all crossings separated by bridges or underpasses, wide paved shoulders, and acceleration and deceleration lanes. Note also good design integrating esthetics and safety, including retention of trees in median and interchange area to reduce headlight glare, and adaptation of all highway elements to geographical features.
