The above shield is on the NB I-95 ramp. The three photos below were taken starting from I-95 NB and heading north into Baltimore on I-395. The interchange was constructed entirely over the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River, and just to the north, I-95 dips into the Fort McHenry Tunnel to cross the Northwest Harbor. Between 1974 and 1982, I-395 was constructed, but not until later was I-95 completed, meaning traffic was using the four-lane Harbor Freeway (I-895) for many years.



The remaining photos were taken by Scott Colbert in Baltimore.


Bulbous shield on E Lombard St. WB at MD 2 SB. I don't gather why straight ahead is an ALT, since traffic doesn't save any time by turning on MD 2 to W Conway St., unless the straight arrow implies going straight past S Howard St.


Overly wide shield on S Howard St. SB, which turns into I-395.


The middle point is raised too high, again WB on E Lombard St., this time at MLK Jr. Blvd. (which is the truck route to I-395 for some reason). Also, the I-95 shield is too wide. It's interesting how well I-395 is signed for something that basically has one exit in either direction.
