It's interesting. Coming back from Pittsburgh today there was 1 tiny sign just past exit 57 (eastbound) that said Philly was 276 miles away. Next sign for Philly was AFTER Harrisburg. Signs for Route I-70 broadly proclaimed DC and Baltimore but nothing about Philly. 1 stinking sign. Even then, it wasn't until getting close to the Valley Forge exit that signs showed Philly.

This has irked me for years and always confuses relatives and guest from out of town when have driven here. Just makes common sens put the next (or maybe 2 next) major ciity(ies) on the signs.

Philadelphia is my home. I love this city, but more than that, it just makes sense. I've always wondered why this major American city is not marked on road signs of the largest north-south highway on the Eastern seaboard.

Philadelphia is north on I-95 from Baltimore. New Yorkers exit off I-95 and drive over the Delaware Memorial Bridge to get home. The sign should read "Philadelphia" or "Wilmington".

Every time I drive home from DC or Baltimore, I noticed that are no signs to Philly. To calculate distance, I have to look for the NY signs and subtract 90 miles. Please fix this.

I-95 goes to center city Philadelphia and technically does not even go to NYC directly. I know of many people driving from DC area to New York that have mistakenly ended up driving through Philadelphia (the Delaware Memorial Bridge exit from 95 with signs for NY-NJ are not very clear either). So change signs in Baltimore to 95 North towards Philadelphia and Change Del Mem Bridge signs to New Jersey, New York City!

I live in Maryland and I find it disrespectful for the city of Philadelphia.

When traveling home from Richmond Va, wherein live now, I always wondered why a Phily sign wasn't posted on I95...needs to change!

Get some Philly signs on I-95. Replace the NY ones, and put them up after you leave Philly if there isn't room for us both.
