Jackson, MS Street and Highway Scenes

	A downtown Jackson intersection.   Overall, street-level stoplights are VERY RARE in Mississippi.  I've only seen them in downtown Jackson, along US 51 in Madison, one in Meridian, and one in Laurel.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken in 1999.

	Looking northbound at a rare traffic circle in Pearl, where MS 475 intersects Old Brandon Road (a very old routing for US 80) and the road to Jackson International Airport.  There are long-range (but unfunded) plans to replace this junction with an interchange and a parkway-style freeway spur running to downtown Jackson, which is about 5 miles to the left in the photo.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken in 1999.
	Northbound I-55 in Jackson, where the Woodrow Wilson Dr exit is on the left.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken in 1999.
	In my experience, it's rare to see a "winding road" sign on an Interstate.   This is on southbound I-55 in Jackson just south of Woodrow Wilson Dr, approaching the locally infamous "Waterworks Curve".  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken in 1999.

 

"The Stack" area

	The eastbound split of I-20, I-55, and US 49.  The exit numbers use I-20's mileage.  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 11, 2006.
	A little further east, where US 49 splits off (in the background in the above photo).  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 11, 2006.
	The reason why "Exit 47A" gets posted again is because the US 49 South ramp from eastbound I-20 merges briefly with the ramp from southbound I-55 to eastbound I-20, so this exit signage is more for the benefit of that SB 55 to EB 20 traffic wishing to take southbound US 49.  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 11, 2006.
	Northbound US 49 approaching I-20, with construction well underway on the new ramps at the interchange as part of "Phase 3" of the Stack.  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 19, 2006.
	Older overhead signage, pre-Phase 3.  Note that NB 49 to EB 20 traffic is already utilizing part of the new ramp.  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 19, 2006.
	This "dual arrow" sign intrigues some.  The reason behind it is because traffic on northbound US 49 can either use the loop ramp to the right or take a left turn at the stoplight in the background to get to I-20/55/US 49.  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 19, 2006.
	Two views showing progress on the future flyover from northbound US 49 to I-20/55, as seen from the loop ramp mentioned above.  Photo by David Backlin, taken March 19, 2006.
