===South=== ====Florida==== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{Main|Interstate 95 in Florida}} I-95 begins at [[U.S. Route 1|US 1]] just south of downtown [[Miami]] and travels along the state's east coast, passing through [[Fort Lauderdale, Florida|Fort Lauderdale]], [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]], the [[Miami metropolitan area|Gold Coast]], the [[Treasure Coast]], the [[Space Coast]], [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]], [[Port Orange, Florida|Port Orange]], [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]], and [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] before entering the US state of Georgia near the city of [[Kingsland, Georgia|Kingsland]]. In Miami and Fort Lauderdale, [[SunPass]] express lanes pass over the highway. Before 1987, a notable gap in the highway existed between West Palm Beach and [[Fort Pierce, Florida|Fort Pierce]]; I-95 traffic between those cities was diverted to [[Florida's Turnpike]]. Today, I-95 runs along a routing parallel to the turnpike.<ref>{{cite news |title= I-95 'Missing Link' Okayed |work= Lakeland Ledger |date= April 19, 1973 |page= 4A}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Truesdell |first=Jeff |date=December 13, 1987 |title=Closing I-95 gap opens door to growth |page=1A |work=[[Miami Herald]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-closing-i-95-gap-opens/138701124/ |via=[[Newspapers.com]] |accessdate=January 13, 2024 |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114055541/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-closing-i-95-gap-opens/138701124/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2010, more fatalities occurred along the Florida section of I-95 than on any other Interstate Highway in the country.<ref>{{cite web |author=Tom Barlow |url=http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/07/13/most-dangerous-times-places-to-drive/ |title=Most deadly times, places to drive |publisher=Walletpop.com |date=July 13, 2010 |access-date=October 23, 2014 |archive-date=July 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130709105446/http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/07/13/most-dangerous-times-places-to-drive/ |url-status=live }}</ref> ====Georgia==== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{Main|Interstate 95 in Georgia}} In Georgia, I-95 closely parallels the coastline, traveling primarily through marshlands a few miles from the shore. The route bypasses the cores of major coastal cities [[Brunswick, Georgia|Brunswick]] and [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]], routing traffic through the western sides of both cities' metro areas; it connects to the latter city by an intersection with [[Interstate 16|I-16]] before crossing into South Carolina. The exit numbers were converted from a [[Sequential exit numbering|sequential system]] to a [[Mileage-based exit numbering|mileage-based system]] around 2000. I-95 in Georgia has the [[Unsigned highway|unsigned designation]] of [[Georgia State Route 405|State Route 405]] (SR 405).<ref>{{cite web |date=June 12, 2003 |url=http://www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/newexitno/index.shtml |title=Georgia's Interstate Exit Numbers |publisher=Georgia Department of Transportation |access-date=April 30, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040215025749/http://www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/newexitno/index.shtml |archive-date=February 15, 2004 }}</ref> ==== South Carolina ==== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{main|Interstate 95 in South Carolina}} Entering [[South Carolina]], I-95 diverts from its coastal route to a more inland route to the west. I-95 does not go near any major cities in South Carolina, with the largest city along its route being [[Florence, South Carolina|Florence]], the [[List of cities and towns in South Carolina|tenth largest in the state]]. The rest of South Carolina can be accessed via other Interstates that intersect I-95. It intersects [[Interstate 26|I-26]] near [[Harleyville, South Carolina|Harleyville]], which provides access to [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Columbia, South Carolina|Columbia]], and [[Upstate South Carolina]]. It also intersects [[Interstate 20|I-20]] at Florence, which also connects to Columbia and then on to [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. At the North Carolina border, I-95 passes the [[South of the Border (attraction)|South of the Border]] [[roadside attraction]]. ==== North Carolina ==== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{main|Interstate 95 in North Carolina}} In North Carolina, I-95 informally serves as the separation between the state's central [[piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] and eastern [[Atlantic Plain]] regions. Much like its route in South Carolina, I-95 runs through mostly rural areas, avoiding major cities like [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]] and [[Durham, North Carolina|Durham]]. The route intersects [[Interstate 74|I-74]] near [[Lumberton, North Carolina|Lumberton]], [[Interstate 40|I-40]] near [[Benson, North Carolina|Benson]], and [[Interstate 87 (North Carolina)|Future I-87]]/[[U.S. Route 64 in North Carolina|US 64]] near [[Rocky Mount, North Carolina|Rocky Mount]]. Several medium-sized cities lie along I-95 in North Carolina, including (from south to north) [[Fayetteville, North Carolina|Fayetteville]], [[Wilson, North Carolina|Wilson]], and Rocky Mount. At [[Gaston, North Carolina|Gaston]], I-95 crosses into Virginia.
