Coming in to Nawhfek on the Berkeley bridge is interesting 🤨 , you have the tunnel crowd coming from Ptown ( 264 West ) and you have the South side ( 464 ) crisscrossing on the Bridge , makes an interesting afternoon
i always said that i-264 E going towards VA Beach coming from Norfolk reminds of less compact version of i-495 Long island expressway going East towards long island based of the infrastructure
When/if you ever make it to Lou(:E:)ville you’ll have to travel our 264W/E and I-65N/S which are both one of the widest freeways here in the USofA 13/14 lanes!!
9:30 location of the old SR44 $.25 toll. The hump is because there was (is?) a tunnel under the highway for the toll keepers to get from one side to the other. Rumor has it young people would pay the toll and when the gate lifted race to the oceanfront 😂 Entrance ramps after this was $.10 or a handful of pennies 😂😂😂 Miss opening my door and looking on the ground for dropped change 😂 Have I started subbed and smashed that notification bell yet 😄
There were no gates on that toll (seriously, find an old pic) , just a green light when you paid, 44 expressway was crawling with popo , lots of better places to race
Yea I remember those days. And the on/off ramps it were like 10c. I would get out of the car and pick up the loose change where people missed throwing it in.
You could pre-pay for the toll booths by buying little ticket books where you tear out each ticket anytime you went through. I remember my parents would go to the bank to buy new books anytime they ran out so now I'm wondering if those were the only places you could buy them.
I haven't spent enough time there to say from personal experience but from the friends/relatives I have in the area they say the main thing is to make sure that your job is on the same side of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel that you live on. Outside of that I haven't heard anything bad about traffic.
I have a aunt that lives in Hampton and she had a hydrophonics store in Virginia Beach and sold it about 20/25 years ago so her and her husband could be fully retired
Which now that I watched again.. it didn’t really have anywhere to go? Besides the fast lane. Which it should have. But, I can kind of understand why he/she didn’t do that.. probably nervous and didn’t know what to do lol

And the best “urban freeways” with a fabulous view of all the bridges and downtown HAS TO BE I-64e
I'll add them to the list. Didn't know they had a freeway that wide.
This was a toll road when I lived there 1981 - 3.

Interesting to know. I wonder if the tunnel is still there. Also welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing!

Ever though about doing Richmond? :)
Yeah I plan to do some more Virginia cities in October.
I'm in Baltimore area, thinking of moving to VA Beach. Any thoughts?
I’ve heard many say it’s the best city to live in out of the Hampton roads area. What’s your criteria for a place to move to?
@@MileageMikeTravels , well, great amenities, access to good healthcare, and low crime.
Baltimore has better amenities since it’s a lot larger but this area seems lower on crime. Plus living close to the beach is always nice.
@@MileageMikeTravels, is the traffic really bad down there. It's horrible on 695, beltway around Baltimore.

Are you in Washington DC?
No.
@@MileageMikeTravels Do you like weekly road trips?
@@kennypalermo9071 Sure

I’m wondering are you allowed to get into the HOV lane just to pass someone using the fast lane then get back over when it’s just you?
Probably not, I'd imagine. The HOV lanes operate on a schedule and during this video they were open to all traffic anyway.
Norfolk yes!!
City of Richmond Virginia
3:47 HOW RUDE of that car!! LOL
