It's a huge omission and major blunder. Fix the signage now.

Attended American University in the '80s and it burned me up that Philadelphia wasn't on signage (f-Wilmington--it's a 2-bit town, even if it's technically next in line after Baltimore).
After all, I95 only bisects only 1 east coast city. The least we can have for that terrible planning blunder that has stymied development and destroyed our waterfront potential is a &@"/; sign as kind of a consolation.
Good work. I'm all in!

Im from the Philly area and lived in the DC/Balto area for a long time. Not having Philadelphia on the 95 signs ALWAYS pissed me off. Kudos to you for putting this campaign together.

I am originally from MD but would come up to Philly a lot to visit friends in college. I was always amazed Philadelphia was never listed on a sign. Eventually moving from Baltimore to the philly area (so we were back & forth a lot) every time I drove 95 it just seemed so strange. Thanks for attempting to do something about it!

Always felt disrespected as a Philadelphian for years because of that sign, Nice to see someone trying to do something about it.

Totally disrespectful. Time to put us in our rightful position as the 5th largest city and the birthplace of our country.

I've been driving that corridor for 36 years and always thought it was strange that Philly was not on the signs in Maryland. Let's see it change.

We are hub between New York and DC and should get the due respect. What's up with 95 and NJ Turnpike connectivity in Princeton as well?

Philly native here after too long
in north Jersey. Philly has been
the Rodney Dangerfield of
cities as long as I can remember
( I'm 76) and it has peeved me
my whole life. This road sign
epitomizes this and must be
changed.

Philadelphia isn't just the nation's 5th largest city and one of the biggest tourist destinations, but it's the second largest city in all of the eastern US. Bigger than DC, Boston, and Miami. Furthermore, you can't even get to NYC by staying on I-95 north from Baltimore; you have to change highways, otherwise you'll end up at a dead-end in NJ. Listing NYC as the control city instead of Philadelphia on I-95 North signs in Maryland is a disgrace to both our national heritage and our present-day sensibility.

Come on. Phila. is always in the top five list of largest cities and the signs on 95 don't mention how to get there?
