I-95 South at night: Philadelphia, PA

Follows I-95 South through the Philadelphia area to the Commodore Barry Bridge and across to NJ using "Overdrive" effects. The road was not as well lit as I would have liked so I did the best I could with it.

[@gamingninja_77]

I lived near the city for 12+ years (most of my childhood was me living in the suburbs northwest of here) so this video is a source of NOSTALGIA for me.

This is the best music

[@Freewayjim]

It is a great song, I used a jazz instrumental version of it in this video starting at 13:30. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5y3npyigrmahMk

Thanks a bunch for this one! I lived in Philly for 4 years through the late 70's and as a kid I remember riding through there on many occasions. Been through there a few times as an adult and I always enjoy the lighting and their beautiful skyline. I'm due for another trip there because I haven't been since 2000. Thanks again for the wonderful memories :)

You pick the coolest music for your videos.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much!

[@trulylondon1]

Wow, Philadelphia is a very nice city! Reaching to the Philadelphia International Airport, it has all its glory with the music just going with it 😊

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@cjs121675]

Nice ride! My folks lived in Philly for five years.. . never got to go to Philly cause getting time off in a restuarant is a nightmare but I have also seen this road a few times on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia! Great ride! Great vid! Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Used to go to Club Deco club back in 1998....And go across the Franklin Bridge into Camden.

[@Freewayjim]

The highways in the bigger cities are better lit, which is why I film them in night or dusk-dark videos. Also, a lot simply depends on where I'm at and what I'm doing at the time, kind of a luck of the draw if you will, that coupled with what I find to be interesting, I don't film things for the sake of filming.

[@tobeysze641]

The Commodore Barry Bridge is one of my favourite Philly bridges.

[@RicksTravelogue]

I love that you used this song. This would have been one of my recommendations to you had you not beat me to it.

[@robjackson5245]

I'm praying we bring back sodium vapor on every highway. I'm a highway Latino. I love highways.

[@MichealMatthews-f1s]

Led street lights sucks

[@robjackson5245]

@@MichealMatthews-f1s not just street lights. Highway lights too

[@lakebay972]

Yeah, that song/parody never gets old.

[@socarboy]

Great ride through Philadephia at night!

[@graffitigorsk2989]

Me and my family always come back late on I95 from our family's house in New Jersey, the city is so beautiful then

[@TracyAllen]

You had fun with this! I like the funky lighting and song choice! Excellent!

[@brennane.17]

Blink and you’ll miss it: there’s a button copy at 1:49. I’ve been looking for them all around here where I live and now I can’t not see them. This video was pretty cool btw I remember riding down I-95 visiting Philly!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@Mr-ci4uq]

Crystal Waters Yes.......Great music selection.......From Toronto

[@helenewortham1840]

classic house music

[@wert13d]

We drove on I-95 thru Philly on our way to Ocean City Md this year. I wish we had time to check out waterfront over there, Thanks Freeway Jim!!! ;)

[@MadChristoph]

I-95 in PA is now rerouted so it can connect to the NJTP, since the NJTP became I-95 after exit 6 out of nowhere, but I-95 is now linked up. So yeah

[@asteyhighways]

Really nice video! and this music is always a pleasure to listen!!

[@luvjbgg]

Nice, very fresh. thanks.. kepp up with driving.. Also be safe out there.. Once again thanks..

[@PrinceMarco]

Philly at night is phenomenal

[@darrelldoranjr8391]

Oddly satisfying

[@Freewayjim]

I've gotten that before, thanks!

[@djrjp]

I gotta say Jim, I always had a dream to travel the world and ride some of the best Freeways available (I live in Brazil). I'm 24 years old now, and your videos give me just the taste of the American ones! Fantastic, I gotta go up there and ride some of 'em by myself =)

[@empresslisa6875]

Love this song

[@Freewayjim]

Sorry, that's due to music copyright issues, some music companies do not allow the music used on YT on mobile devices, nothing I can do about it.

[@Localonthe8s]

Awesome! I drive by this area quite often. I enjoy driving on the Commodore Barry! Rt 322 ftw :D

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, glad you liked it, yes that is an effect in my software.

[@TheSolarcatcher]

Grear video Jim. Nice tie in song to the theme.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks for watching!

[@Freewayjim]

We learn something new every day :)

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you, I appreciate that very much!

[@califgirl101]

That was sweet! More More More!

[@EdgeXXI]

Awesome choice of music!

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, this was the first time I ever took this at night, I agree.

[@Freewayjim]

It's not blurry, I added a glow effect to brighten it up some.

[@tigerburn81]

EXIT 23! Fishtown! My neighborhood.

[@megaman803]

Great nighttime video Jim! I like the song choice!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, I hope you get to do that!

[@thewoodsman248]

With the jazzy effects on this vid, and the song, I had the feeling I was in some kind of gay club! Well, apart from the fact that I'm watching this on a wet Tuesday morning drinking a cup of tea. Great video, once again., cheers

[@simulatoraddict]

haha ooo ;P and yeah i did think they could have been like night vision kind of things :) good job looove your videos :)

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, yeah I've driven those routes you mentioned, agreed on all counts.

[@Freewayjim]

Just some effects to spice it up, actually the colored screens have somewhat of an infrared effect, like with the yellow one early in the video, if that's not there you can't hardly see the ramps. Notice they are synched with the music.

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you very much, I thought it fit well, plus it was a local artist :)

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks! You'll see Monday :)

[@eazy-ttj2798]

Sounds like a gran turismo type song

[@IChoseTheRedPill]

I loved the sudden bursts of of color displayed through the rays. I'm assuming it's some type of effect you used to take advantage of lighting in some spots. It was beautifully edited if that's the case. Do you know how long it's been since I heard that ♫♪♫? No? Neither do I that's how long it's been! ;-)

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, yes indeed :)

[@booklover651]

Nice video. Welcome to PA with one of the poorest interstate highways around big metro areas in the US IMHO. Try driving around Harrisburg where one of the most impt freeway junctions in the whole state doesn't have one light pole :( I81&83. I83 is in serious need of a major upgrade for almost its entire length in PA. OK; sorry rant over.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks :)

[@KTNUSA]

Despite that the video is kind-of blurry, the video was good.

[@dave11686]

Awesome vid!

Coolest thank you freewayjim I from Ukraine

[@Freewayjim]

Thank you!

[@dave11686]

Very cool!

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, no I do not have this route in the daylight.

[@Freewayjim]

I did not see a great need for them in this video.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks...I felt the footage needed a little extra something :)

[@thefighter38757]

nice

[@simulatoraddict]

heya loved the video but what was with the sudden bursts of green screen :S

Oh you mean the intro? That's just a short clip from Atlanta but check my Atlanta playlist to see a couple similar videos at night. Can't send link through this medium.

[@InkaBall]

Im surprised this song is a TikTok song now

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, glad it worked out :)

[@gsnman]

ROFLMAO! I knew that would be brought up!

[@megaman803]

I noticed you have dusk to dark nighttime videos of only the bigger major cities you visit (i.e. NYC, Philadelpha, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Cleveland), but NOT any of the smaller major citites (i.e. Columbia [SC], Louisville [KY], and Richmond [VA]; ! Do you find the big cities more interesting to visit at night than the small cities? Or do you some safer to visit at night than others?

[@gloriawomack3316]

280. 495 two queens Brooklyn

[@kingeeshon4974]

I have listed to that 😅

[@Freewayjim]

Never heard that one.

[@Omegasunrise]

At 6:35 I was wondering if this kind of bridge is used on all 4 lanes during emergencies?

[@Freewayjim]

What do you you mean you want this video? I don't give footage away but if you want to capture the first six seconds and use it that is fine so long as you give me proper credit.

[@gloriawomack3316]

280 Queens Brooklyn. 495

[@JohnLaich]

Does Philly have any plans to upgrade the lighting on this stretch?

[@thevultrantransituniverse1487]

If you have a chance to film highways next summer, you should return to the northeast US. BTW, now I95 now goes directly from Philly to New York.0

[@marubin01]

Hi. Are you able to make the video available for android? I don't have a computer so my Mobil is the only way to view this particular video. Thanks.

[@Freewayjim]

Thanks, lol

The song selection is amazing; but I liked "In Living Color's" version better. "My Songs are Mindless" by Kim Wayans.

[@midoofuny]

What about the first 6 seconds? i want this video please !!

Why remove the notations?

i mean the first 6 seconds are so beatiful so , if yo have a long video from this place send me the link
