Trivia

Did you know that there is NO gasoline on US 1 southbound from US 202 to the Maryland border.  Well there was one new station, tucked neatly behind a screen of trees, I didn't see it until I whipped past their driveway at 65 mph.   Got stuck behind a truck painting a new white line on the 2 lane section of US 202.  No way to pass.  Spent half an hour at walking pace.   Then there were four clowns in Norristown holding up traffic waving those "Stop" and "Slow" signs even though the road was perfectly passable both ways. 
   And, Baltimore has matched New York City in the  worst highway signage department.  Coming down I95, it says "95 Express  Easypass. No access to 695"  Not a word about Baltimore Harbor Tunnel,  the Baltimore Washington parkway, or any other destination someone might want to get to.  And driving alone and reading a road map doesn't work.  And there is nowhere to pull over.
