I-95 NORTH runs pretty much EXACTLY west-to-east for a good stretch from New 
York onwards. A second highwy, Rt 15 which is actually a very pretty parkway, 
the Hutchinson River / Merrit Parkway, parallels I-95 in significant portions 
further inland. Which direction do you go to get from I-95 NORTH to Rt 15 
NORTH? It even confuses the locals when giving directions to non-locals!
