Northbound Virtual Cruise

This page, with images courtesy of Kurumi's Signmaker, provides a "virtual cruise" of the guide signage along my VA 225 fictional freeway.  Images begin at the top, and progress northbound as one goes down the page.  Notes and annotations will be below an image, as appropriate.  For simplicity, not all signs that could theoretically exist will be shown below.

The Cruise:

Another of my fictional ideas upgrades VA 165/Princess Anne Rd to a freeway from Ferrell Pkwy to southwest of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center.  Ferrell Pkwy is represented by VA 407 here.  The exit numbers are based on my fictional VA 165 mileage.

As mentioned on the main fictional VA 225 page, there would be a partial interchange at South Plaza Trail, basically consisting of NB-NB and SB-SB access on each route.

This interchange would begin the northbound C/D road, which would be partially at-grade.

Here, the northbound mainline would have a direct set of ramps to I-264 (including a NB to WB flyover).  The C/D road would have a slip ramp to the northbound mainline before intersecting Baxter Rd/South Blvd at-grade.

At this point, near where a Euclid Rd/Bonney Rd overpass would exist, the C/D road is no longer at-grade, in order to facilitate traffic to/from the ramps and loops at I-264.  Each side would have a ramp to US 58/Virginia Beach Blvd.

This sign shows the northbound mainline, as the C/D road ends and merges just north of here.  As with the interchanges at VA 190 and Haygood Rd/Wishart Rd, this fictional interchange at US 58 would be a SPUI.

An auxiliary lane would exist between US 58 and VA 190.

Fictional VA 225 would nominally be a 6-lane freeway between US 58 and US 13.  The 3rd northbound lane would end at the ramp to US 13 North.

Fictional VA 225 ends at US 60/Shore Dr.  As in real life, the roadway would continue straight into Gate 4 at the Little Creek Amphibious Base.
