Interstate 95 Automobile, Motorcycle, and Trucking Accidents

Interstate 95 is a major Interstate Highway that hugs the East Coast of Florida and spans the length of Florida from South Florida through North Florida and right up to the Florida -Georgia State Line. Interstate 95 runs North - South and is a significant expressway / highway through many North Florida cities and counties including Volusia County, Flagler County, St. Johns County, Duval County, and Nassau County.

The speed limit along Interstate 95 ranges from 55 miles per hour and at times lower for construction area to 70 miles per hour. Interstate 95 is utilized by personal and commercial drivers alike. The size of the vehicles traveling along Interstate 95 range from motorcycles to compact cars to SUVs to commercial trucks to semi-tractor trailer trucks. In some stretches along Interstate 95, there are only 1 - 2 lanes in each direction. In busy and better constructed areas, there are multiple lanes. It is important for all operators of motor vehicles to drive with due caution and care along Interstate 95. This is especially true for commercial truckers whose vehicles literally tower over all other vehicles on the road. A crash with a semi-tractor trailer can and does lead to significant personal injuries and even the deaths of innocent drivers and passengers who have every right to use Interstate 95 to travel from one location to another.

It is interesting to note that Interstate 95 is one of the oldest and largest expressways / highways in Florida and the United States. It spans over 1900 miles.
