Differences While Driving

While Jimmy and I were taking the scenic route to Wilmington, NC, I noticed many differences on the road. Take a look...

1. The Scenery
All the interstates in North Carolina are lined
with gorgeous green trees as opposed to
the flat dull cornfields of the midwest. 

ILLINOIS vs. NORTH CAROLINA
 
 
2. U-turns are allowed?!
Yes! North Carolina allows drivers on the interstate 
to utilize the crossover sections to turn around,
unlike Illinois who reserves them for speed traps.

3. Flashing yellow turn arrows

In North Carolina they never have green or red arrows like Illinois.
Instead as soon as the main lights turn green, the turn arrow light FLASHES yellow.
It is really weird to get used but it's nice that you can turn whenever you want.

4. Speed Limits

North Carolina's is higher!!
Yayy for 70!

5. License Plates
 
North Carolina drivers are not required to have
their license plates posted on the front of their car.

  1. In the first picture, the NC pic looks like the highway by my families in IL.. I think instead of saying the "midwest" it should say.. something along the lines of the corn land parts of IL. U-turns are pretty crazy i bet thats nice when your lost!!
