Miscellaneous Interstate Highway Scenes in Mississippi

Southbound on I-55 at the exit to MS 27. This also marks the south end of the I-55/US 51 duplex that begins in Jackson. | |
Another older-style Interstate shield with the state name, this one in Laurel. | |
Yes. That's right. The actual speed limit is 40 MPH in the area of the "S-curve". Otherwise, it's 50 MPH through the middle of Laurel. Note the green sign gantry at the exit ramp. | |
Overhead wire sign warning about the 40 MPH "S-curve" on I-59 in Laurel. There is a proposal to straighten out the curve currently undergoing study. | |
It's not often you find a stoplight at the end of a rural exit ramp, but evidentally traffic counts warranted it here. This is southbound I-59 at the MS 29/MS 588 exit near Ellisville, between Laurel and Hattiesburg. | |
Not an Interstate highway scene, per se, but an interesting item. This homemade I-59 shield was spotted outside Lumberton as one re-entered the "real world" from a Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) event. Photo by David Backlin, taken in March, 2006. |
