I-459 South TO US-31

[BrianTL5]

Very cool videos. Your Birmingham/Hoover/Pelham videos make me miss home (I'm from that area, I now live in Central Florida). What do you use for recording and capturing?

[Bryant5493]

@BrianTL5: Thanks. A video camera on the dashboard with velcro. I use Windows Movie Maker and Pinnacle Studio 14 HD.

always impressed by the width of the roadway.

I wonder if the traffic or the incredible size of some American-made cars?

[prfsnlwannabe]

I think issue of an expressway's width has to mostly do with accommodating the amount of traffic that regularly uses it, along with how well a state's department of transportation intelligently plans the width of lanes.

In some places I've been to, road lanes(including on regular roads, highways, + expressways) are ridiculously narrow. Ridge Rd., a north-south road in Evanston, IL, is a great example of what I mean. Good choices of music here, and what Disney movie is the 2nd song from?

[Bryant5493]

Thanks.

Both are from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." The first song is a cover of "Sally's Song."

Hey, awesome! I've noticed this freeway on maps since I was a kid, and was always intrigued as to what it actually looked like, in person. I would've recorded this, had I made it to Birmingham on my grand North American journey.

[Bryant5493]

Yeah, it's a pretty cool freeeway.

[Cobraman71]

Thats the exit I get off on everyday.

[The44CDIontour]

You could drive that speed in the most part for real

@ Käfer 5:00 - is it usual there to pass on the right side?

[Bryant5493]

Indeed.

It is common, but discouraged to underpass. Sometimes, people in the left lane won't move over for faster moving traffic, so that's why it's common for folks to pass on the right.

[IsoscelesKramer]

Or some people just don't know what speed limits are and think they can go at any speed anywhere...

[Bryant5493]

'Tis true.

I used to live in hoover, I miss alabama :(

[Bryant5493]

Yeah, it's a nice state. It's like Georgia but different.

[tycoon1994]

[assaultislove]

Great video. 459 is one of my favorite freeways in the Southeast

[Bryant5493]

Glad you liked the video. It's a very nice freeway, indeed.
