    I stated this in a post some where else, but I-94 between Parma, Michigan to Detroit going either East or West is a dangerous stretch of highway.

    It's known for it's abundant accidents from mostly reckless and speeding vehicles.

    I-94 thru Jackson, Michigan has a concrete divider separating the four lanes into two each and it's not uncommon to hear that a truck has smacked the concrete divider since it's pretty close to the outside lanes to begin with.

    ON this stretch of highway thru Ann Arbor, this is dangerous if you hit rush hour traffic .
    There is also a sharp curve with a get on ramp at the 172 and I do mean sharp!

    Detroit traffic speaks for itself!

    It should have. The "Storage Trailer" section is directly over top of the "Drop Lot" section.

    the I-95 interstate highway from miami to maine. why.........?? drug runners. its a major highway for the drugs to get from the south to the north. then you have the NYC area, and the George Washington Bridge. you'll have 15 toll lanes dumping into 4 lanes to cross the bridge (going north)........... the Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) you will have cars stopped in the middle, and i mean middle of the road when they break down. try dodging those.............

    then you have (i believe I-40) the southern drug runners highway...........and that highway goes east/west.

    then you have "alligator highway" , and that's also the name of the highway, in florida.............and there are real alligators that cross that highway. if you breakdown, you must stay in your vehicle, as the signs warn you to do so.

    ah yes, danger lurks throughout this fine country of ours. you'll get to know more as more people come here to tell you some more.

    You are correct, Prodriver. I've driven through NY and CT on I-95 in my car, and it can be a bear. I can imagine it could be a real pain for a trucker.

    I've also been warned about I-81 from Syracuse to Watertown during the winter months. The lake effects snows can sweep across there at a moment's notice and shut it down.
