I-95 Palm Beach County, FL (Exits 70 to 56)

[generacionmarttin]

Nice video! But you can record, like this, but at 1:00 am, when the street races are doind his plays ;)

[mycka909]

@GeoffJennyOliver 95 never ceases to impress :-)

Enjoy your sign designs. What software do you use to make them?

[CosmoPhotography]

@georgiaroadgeek I have a couple of BGS templates that I made in GIMP (a free but better Photoshop alternative) that I use depending on how much info I want to present. The placement of all the street names, exit numbers, signs, etc. takes place in Apple's LiveType software that comes with Final Cut Express.

One of my favorite stretches in the country to drive at night. I don't know why--there's nothing particularly outstanding about it, yet it just feels right (right, Brent? :) ). And if you go all the way down to Downtown Miami it's even better, although you'd be looking at a 1-hr+ trip, depending on the traffic.

And yeah, Florida drivers are bad, but they ain't got nothing on Houston drivers in terms of insanity levels, to be perfectly honest here.

[CosmoPhotography]

@AlvinHDavernport LIke you said if traffic cooperates, the ride down to Miami is really nice. During the day, it's a different story, but I enjoyed flying through Dade and Broward Counties at like 1 AM.

[FreewayBrent]

@AlvinHDavernport: I think it has a lot to do with what Evan previously mentioned; it's a very nicely lit freeway that feels spacious (and thus, invites speeding). It also has just enough curves to keep things interesting enough.

Really, you think Houston drivers are bad? I found most of them to be pretty mellow, to be completely honest, but I guess driving around for 3 days (mostly during off-peak hours) isn't really enough time to really gauge things.

[AlvinHDavernport]

@FreewayBrent Sorry I missed this! As far as Houston vs. FL drivers goes, I find Houston drivers to be pretty decent while on lower-grade roads/highways. But once they get on the freeway, they start to look for the most insane ways to put your and their lives in danger. You'd think otherwise, given how freeway-dependent Houstonians are.

And yeah, it helps that I-95 in SFL is well-lit, curvy, spacious, and busy 24/7. It also helps to know that you're driving parallel to the beach

[FreewayBrent]

Pretty sick ass editing; probably the best in the road filming genre. I have to say, this freeway is actually more interesting to drive at night, vs. the daytime (if that makes any sense at all?)

I don't remember those flyover ramps at Exit 69B, leading to Palm Beach Int'l Airport.

Great beat too; made the video feel quite intense to watch, lol.

[CosmoPhotography]

@FreewayBrent I really appreciate this comment. Thank you! I fully agree with you about driving this at night. It's hard to explain, but I get a completely different feel for this freeway at night than I do during the day. I honestly think it's the excessive but appreciated lighting that does it. Deadmau5 was playing this song in downtown Miami on Saturday night. Holy shit, the bass from that could literally be heard back on Miami Beach.

[uptownbronze]

Thanks for stopping by. Eventhough, its West Palm Beach. We just glad y'all visiting South Florida. UB

[CosmoPhotography]

@uptownbronze I've got four videos from Miami and Fort Lauderdale and one from Jacksonville coming up soon. Thanks for watching.

[CosmoPhotography]

@spamstoper3 Thank you.

[Bryant5493]

Nice job, Evan. Very clear nighttime picture quality.

[CosmoPhotography]

@Bryant5493 Thanks, man! The freeway lighting on this stretch that made this video possible is something I definitely wanted to showcase in this video.

[interstateruler]

Great work. There is quite bit of lights at night. What time did you filmed this?

[CosmoPhotography]

@interstateruler I filmed this just after the sunset at around 8pm (give or take about 10-15 minutes).

[Freewayjim]

Excellent work, the road is beautifully lit, looking forward to seeing what else you filmed down there.

[CosmoPhotography]

@Freewayjim Thanks! They may be a pain-in-the-ass to drive with, but I have to thank all of the elderly people who have retired to Florida for making that lighting possible. Almost every interstate, freeway, highway, and street in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade Counties is lit like this due to their poor vision. I've got a couple of cool ones coming up, but I'm most looking forward to putting together the Downtown Miami and South Beach at night video. That footage looks awesome!

[6V92TA]

The music totally fit the vid! Awesome work as all ways dude!

[CosmoPhotography]

@6V92TA Thank you! I was a little worried that the song might detract from the video since it has a lot of heavy bass in it, but after listening to it a few times repeatedly I thought that it would be a good fit.

[aswchris]

mega freeway. It has to be. I don't think you'll find many metro areas with a single Interstate being so important as I-95 is to South Florida.

[CosmoPhotography]

@aswchris I think you're right on that. It widens out to about 12 or 14 lanes in southern Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. There have been talks about double decking it with express/toll lanes, but that has been met with a lot of opposition from local residents.

[AlvinHDavernport]

@aswchris You're absolutely right, Chris. The South Florida metro area stretches over a very narrow but extremely long strip of land flanked by the ocean on one side and swampland on the other, so there isn't much room (or need) for beltways or east-west freeways. There is the Turnpike (running along I-95), too, and also I-75 and other three-digit freeways and tollways, but none connects so many key parts of the area as I-95. And the Turnpike is a tollway, so some SF residents tend to avoid it.

[FreewayTitan]

Nice video Evan. Florida drivers are NUTS, and I've only been to Orlando/Tampa.

3:28 no wonder so many crime dramas are there! Go Burn Notice. :p

[CosmoPhotography]

@FreewayTitan Thanks, Max. Yeah, they are really crazy. There are literally no limits on 95 as everyone is pushing 90 and 100 mph, and road etiquette is pretty much nonexistent.

[keithjohnson20988]

police got a big truck lol and

awesome video of interstate 95 in palm beach county

[keithjohnson20988]

@keithjohnson20988 i also live in north carolina in fayetteville so interstate 95 also goes threw my hometown

[CosmoPhotography]

@keithjohnson20988 I live in NC as well. I-95 between Petersburg, VA and the GA/SC line is kind of like the neglected stepchild of the whole route.

[CosmoPhotography]

@keithjohnson20988 Thanks, Keith! That's actually an FDOT police car that pulls over trucks that are violating some state restriction. Florida Highway Patrol and local cops tend to leave I-95 alone since everyone is always speeding, and it's nothing less than a rat race out there.
