I-279, Perry North

My first and last experience with I-279 was horrendous. They had parts of it closed down due to a marathon with no detour signs and no traffic directors to help you around. I-279 is very difficult to navigate if you are a tourist on a good day, but with closures and poorly designed/unmarked detours, it was even worse. On a good day, the exits come up with little notice and the signs telling you about the exits are poorly labeled, leading to many experiences of getting lost for this traveler. You will find it hard to avoid I-279, but if you can plan ahead, try. If you can't avoid it, plan for the fact that it will take you longer to reach your destination than planned and you may get lost in some pretty bad sections of town in route to your destination.
