The Internet has spawned literally millions of highly targeted, subject-specific websites that have satisfied the informational needs of nitch audiences. One such website is the “I-95 Exit Information Guide“. The site has been around since the humble beginnings of the Internet and has accumulated a wealth of information about navigating I-95, the most heavily traveled Interstate highway in the country.

One of the most valuable areas on the website is the I-95 Travelers Forum. You simply won’t believe the volume of information you’ll find here. Travelers pass along their opinions on everything from hotels, restaurants and campgrounds to traveling with kids and pets, construction issues, tolls and gas stops.

You’ll find no shortage of opinions on shortcuts, detours and how to avoid all those traffic nightmares you’ll often encounter along the way. If you plan on traveling I-95 you must check this website before you go. You’ll probably end up bookmarking it sooner or later… Here’s a link to the forum:
