I always found it odd that 95 goes through PA in the first place. Anyone traveling from DC and points south to NJ and points north exits 95 at the Delaware Memorial Bridge (I-295) to get to the NJ Turnpike, which turns into 95 after Trenton. I don't know why 95 doesn't just follow that direct route. 95 between the Delaware Memorial Bridge and Trenton acts like a regional spur route serving the Philadelphia area. This is also why 95 through Philly doesn't see major backups outside of rush hour - it's not inundated with thru traffic.

They just renamed portions of the highways in Bucks County and it doesn't really make things any more clearer. 95 should be the entire length of the NJ Turnpike including the DM Bridge since that's how traffic flows anyway.
