Petersburg Area Insider TipsThe Inside Scoop From Seasoned I-95 Travelers
Traffic & Speed Enforcement: Speed traps are common, especially on the southern approach. Virginia has strict speeding laws (20+ over can mean jail time). The I-95/I-295 interchange can be confusing - stay alert for signage. Rush hours (7-9am, 4-6pm) can create backups, especially near Fort Lee exits.
Gas Tips: Fill up before Petersburg if heading south - prices jump near North Carolina border. Exit 45 (Crater Road) typically has competitive gas prices.
Best Rest Stops: The Carson Rest Area (southbound, mile marker 37) is clean and well-maintained. If you need a real break, Exit 45 (Crater Road) has clustered gas/food options.
Know Before You Go: This stretch has heavy military traffic (Fort Lee/Fort Gregg-Adams nearby). Watch for sudden lane changes from large military convoys. Cell service is generally good throughout the area.
