Then again that could have been signed as an I-X95 spur it seems to make more sense for the main routes to pass through the major control cities.
What really confuses people is that I-295 N turns into I-95 South up in Ewing, visa-versa the other way.

It's a big loop.

I-295 South takes you to the Delaware Memorial Bridge, where you can continue south on I-95, or take I-95 North, which will turn into I-295 South near Ewing.

It's all so confusing!

I drive 50+ miles each way. GSP-78-24-287-80. At any time any of these roads can be at a stand still. Some days I'm here at my desk by 7:30am. Others I don't get here until almost 10am. But i leave early enough to make sure there are a TON more days at or near 7:30. (I don't have to be here until 8).

Yes it makes my day MUCH longer but I saved almost 150k as compared to a smaller house on a smaller lot close to my office than what I have now. Suck it up or move.

When I first moved to Ewing it was definitely a little confusing. I would get on 95N to turn in to 295S few miles down the road.

No way, i rather wake up at the same time, be late everyday, then whine about it on the interweb even though I know the turnpike situation will never change. Leaving earlier to arrive on time and not lose my job is completely out of the question!

just throwing this out there...if it never fails, doesn't that mean you should leave earlier?

Call in a favor once in a while and have them clear the road for you. That way the rest of us can have an excuse
