signage at the southern terminus of I-190 at I-90. Notice the lack
of a spiral curve for the ramp to I-90 West. For those without an
engineering background a spiral curve is a curve with an
increasing/decreasing radius. What a spiral curve does, is
transition a tangential section of highway to that of a circular curve.
Without a spiral curve, drivers must jerk the wheel to enter and exit a
curve -- there are many instances in Upstate New York where spiral's are
oddly absent from exit ramps. |

Signage
in advance of the I-90 interchange -- I find this diagram sign
interesting since it includes the Ogden Ave. ramp, despite how far it is
from the I-90 interchange complex. Northbound drivers will
remember Ogden Avenue as the site of the former toll-booth which dates
back to the time when I-190 was controlled by the New York State Thruway
Authority. |

Two views looking north
from the Porter Ave. overpass. Notice the complex ramps that connect
I-190 to the Peace bridge and Niagara Street. While the connection
between I-190 to the Peace Bridge is not a true freeway to freeway
interchange, the connection does function very well. Traffic heading
north on I-190 encounters a single traffic light and a left turn, while
traffic bound towards Buffalo from the Bridge enters the ramp directly
from the Customs booth. |

from the former toll plaza along the western side of Buffalo. Notice
the bascule bridge and the Peace bridge along the right side of the
freeway. I-190 runs in very close proximity to the Niagara River as it
leads into Downtown Buffalo. |

Looking south at the now
closed toll plaza along I-190 south of NY 198. Tolls stopped being
collected on the approaches to Downtown Buffalo on 10/30/2006.
Since this photo was taken, the former toll booths have been removed,
allowing for free-flow traffic in the southbound direction of I-190
through this area. |
