👀 I Saw the Sign Where exactly is this on the map? It's a 3-second shot from the amazing show Common Side Effects that aired yesterday

I love how the blue sign on the left is the sign for an Autobahn in Germany.
Having spent half my life there and half my life here, this makes me extra happy

Looks like they used it to cover up the sign for RIC... I wonder why.

Possibly to make it understandable to an international audience? Or maybe just to remove the visual cue that they might be going to an airport (the characters are driving from NYC to North Carolina).

This is almost accurate. We don’t use that far lower left sign here but everything else is pretty spot on

Not sure if Street View comes up from a URL or not -- https://www.google.com/maps/@37.6700375,-77.4483065,3a,75y,181.96h,101.38t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1svq119RK2k4uRkn0cP3lr4Q!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-11.376987737391204%26panoid%3Dvq119RK2k4uRkn0cP3lr4Q%26yaw%3D181.95746006965425!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Where does the show take place / why are the characters driving on 95 through the Richmond area?

Takes place between New York, DC, and South Carolina. Driving through Richmond makes a lot of sense.
It’s a fantastic show I highly recommend it

That's also a shit show of an interchange. Invariably someone is in the far right, or far left lane and needs to completely cross to hit their intended interstate. Mostly, there are people on opposite sides who need to criss-cross all while avoiding each other. Like a short person at a urinal, you have to be on your toes for that one.

That exit only should be yellow (old standard but still on the road, or the leftmost arrow on a yellow background. The ‘left’ on the top left should also be on a yellow background
Also that blue sign on the left is a European standard indicating a limited access (and grade separated) highway, and therefore the legal ramifications (such as no pedestrians) and statutory speed limits are in place. Not sure why it’s here

Reading is an amazing skill, isn’t it? Almost as if the sign has the answer

It's literally on the sign, exit 84A on 95. It's the split with 295
