Trying to take
snaps while making complicated and dangerous manouvres on the freeway can
be a bit hazardous to your health.
So I copped to a cute little old DV cam here recently; and while I was pooting
about I had the little devil rolling.
I actually got some reasonably useful pictures(IMHO). They're all in greyscale,
since that seems to crank the resolution.

Looking
westbound at the end of the Casey Highway. |
![]() |
At
the northern end of the Scranton Expressway. This is a rather convoluted junction that includes a lot of funky slip ramps and a full cloverleaf. |
![]() |
Detail
of the sign for IH 81 south. Note the "E modified" 6-I've seen more than a few of these on standalone signs in PA. |
![]() |
Restricted
speed for lorries over 20 000 pounds(unladen?) on the PA 307 slip road
ahead. This is just north of the large snap of the PA 307 gantry. |

Looking
southbound on the Scranton Expressway, towards the 7th Street junction.

Now
we're entering the Central Scranton Expressway-SR 3032. This doesn't
have a number. It should be IH 981. |
![]() |
Central
Scranton Expressway. Note how you lose the central guardrail.... |
![]() |
Southbound
on the Expressway, and your central reservation is a raised concrete
island... |
![]() |
...But
the Speed Limit is 55. The Scranton Expressway-which has a Jersey Barrier,
is posted for 50 MPH. Figure that. |

Non-mountable
kerbing and no hard shoulder here :P |

Coming
up on the IH 81 junction here. The signs here aren't as spiffy as you'd see on the Interstate mainline. |

The
overpasses for the IH 81 junction. |

Further
on-the road splits up- This is the slip road for IH 81 northbound. |
![]() |
Per

Joining
the IH 81 northbound mainline. I like the old one-piece curved light posts. |

Back
to the 21st century here, about a mile from JN 187 on IH 81 northbound. |
![]() |
Inside
JN 187 now-On the IH 84 slip road. |
![]() |
Now
on IH 84 proper. JN 1 is sort of close to the JN 187 stack. |
![]() |
Now
we do a little backbone slip and are on IH 81 southbound just south
of JN 188. The US 6 sign has a series "D" number here. |

Looking
at the flyovers in the JN 187 stack. |

And
back on the US 6 freeway eastbound near JN 1. |

US

![]() |
JN

A
nice straight shot on US 6, looking eastbound. |

Another

![]() |
A
"Truck Info" sign, advising that lorries over 10 tonnes can't
leave US 6 via "Exit 7". |
![]() |
Approach to "Exit 7" on US 6. It's a level junction. :P |
![]() |
And
"Exit 7" itself. |
![]() |
Just
east of "Exit 7". The speed limit drops to 45 MPH ahead. |

Back
to reality on US 6. It's pretty much like this for the rest of the way
through the state. |
