24/40 is horrible. That needs to go to double deck or something. Construction to widen it would be very expensive because of land acquisition and bedrock through that area.
personally, nashville needs both a mass transit makeover and a freeway makeover. for the freeway makeover, i think collector/distributor lane setup for interstates 40, 65, 24, 440 and the new 840 would be better. it would seperate local traffic from the thru traffic more efficiently. if possible tho, have one or two lanes of the collector/distributor lanes on both the local and thru lanes as "express lanes" or "HOT lanes". widening of briley parkway and interchange improvements to DDIs, SPUIs, or other more innovative interchanges, as well as what we cities skylines players call "lane mathematics", where you have one or more for exit only, and the rest for straight on, no muitlple way lanes where you exit and go straight. as for the mass transit makeover, rapid bus and some trams in downtown nashville, with a couple of rapid bus and tram hubs, one on north side of downtown and one on south side of downtown, with rapid buses being the majority for metro nashville, while downtown and some parts outside of downtown can have trams instead of buses. downtown nashville is more densely packed than the rest of nashville and the metro area, so rapid buses wouldn't be enough, trams would tho. but downtown nashville might have enough for a single loop in downtown nashville, since downtown isn't that big. i don't have a fancy degree in civil engineering, nor do i claim to, but i am well researched in infrastructure, and while not a good credital, played city builders since 08. thats the way i think nashville can improve itself a lot, but it will take billions for both projects combined, and i don't recommend choosing one or the other. theres a reason why i suggested the use of express lanes, like in georgia, to better finance it afterwards. also and lets be honest here: simply adding lanes to solve traffic, like a lot of city planners think can work, it doesn't. improving or replacing existing at-grade intersections and interchanges does work. for example, memphis has 3 new and much needed ramps and when i did lyft down there, even during rush hour the new interchange flyover ramps and such helped to keep traffic flowing. beforehand if you wanted to get onto 40 to get to downtown memphis, you would have to exit at the next exit, after going through a bottleneck, now you just need to take the new ramps to 40 west. that in itself improves the interchange between sam cooper, 240 and 40 considerably. the addition of new lanes for the new flyover ramps also do a hell of a days work and kept with lane mathematics very well too, i have to give praise to TDOT for that much. anyways, this comment is long enough already, at the very least hope i made ya ponder! edit: i forgot to include in the freeway makeover portion that it would be cheaper to do double deckers or even quad-deckers in place of what is already there now. (quad-decker 5 westbound/northbound lanes bottom [2 thru lanes, 3 local lanes.], 5 eastbound/southbound lanes second level [2 thru lanes, 3 local lanes.], 2 westbound/northbound express lanes third level (with enough room for 3 additional lanes later if city needs it.), 2 eastbound/southbound express lanes fourth level. (with enough room for 3 additional lanes later.))
Kevin Woodard I remember that too! Memphis unfortunately has some crime issues. It’s too bad; I used to go to Memphis a lot when I was younger and have tons of great memories of it.
Hey, I visited this city in January/2020 and I loved this place, this video bring me good memories when I drove from Murfreesboro to Nashville many times... I had a great expericence in this city and miss very much Nash. Thank you for the video! Greetings from São Paulo - Brazil
Greetings from the UK again. Thanks for another good video. As others have said stick with the other camera. Lastly take care and I’m sure we’ll see much more decent footage from your road trips when we all pull through this madness. Stay safe.
My hometown. If you had made it a little further you could have seen the 2 story Dollar General on the hill up on the right. They have a rather impressive HQ for such modest store. Thanks for a jaunt around Music City, I can't leave town due to the virus. You got me out of the house so to speak. Keep it up. We love it.
@@The_Briggz It's not a 2 story store, it's their main offices with the Dollar General logo very clearly featured. The buildings are visible from 1-65 Northbound just as you pass the Two Mile Pike exit but before you reach the Long Hollow Pike exit. @Gary Kidd Dollar General makes money hand over fist. I went to school with someone in the family that owns it. They have plenty of money left over after that building, to say the very least. :D
@@valecrassus7835 Ah alright that makes sense, I was surprised to not hear about it for as long as I've been hear but if it's an office that makes a lot more sense, thank ya Paul!
@@The_Briggz Is the 2 story Kroger the one on Hillsboro Pike in Hillsboro Village? I see it but I've never been in it. The reason it's a weird design like that is because it used to be a Harris Teeter's and Kroger took it over some time in the last 5-8 years.
Thanks for the video. The first leg of this route is my old stomping grounds. Traveled it numerous times back in the day, trips from Memphis to either Nashville or Knoxville. Brings back memories.
I have been stuck in the house way before this covid-19 thing happened due to being disabled. It's been so long since I've seen the city I grew up in. Thanks!!
I live here and this video made me homesick, too! It brings to mind all the times I’ve left home and the happiness I feel when the road signs guided me home ! -Terri Kendall, Nashville Tennessee ❤️
Nashville is a beautiful city for sure. You have the bad but the good definitely outweighs the negative! I still miss Opryland, I loved that place as a kid. At least me and my wife can go walk around Opryland Hotel and feel like we are on vacation lol
Brian Hi Brian, I just want you to know that I do that too. And whenever company comes in from out of state, I take them to the hotel,too. They all have loved it. From friends to large company reps. I hope you and your wife enjoy Opryland Hotel, like my husband (of 41 years) and I have and still do. -Terri Kendall ❤️
I was just in Nashville last year and it was beautiful! But driving on I-40 was a mess lol! Thank you for the wonderful video Jim, keep up the amazing work!
Great video Jim! I always appreciate all of your videos! It was nice to see Nashville again! It’s been too long since I’ve been through there! Only a 10 hour drive for me. I appreciate your efforts always! Have an awesome 2020! I am in spite of it all! Always with full respect! Mark in Iowa.
I have lived in Nashville since 1986.... I have driven these highways time or two... But... Somehow you have brightened my heart today.... Thank you friend !
Wow! Super great quality. Love that 4K. Nice job! I have driven all of this terrain for the past 20yrs. Like the back of my hand I could tell where you were going 👍🏼. We can only hope that they will do something about THREE major interstates converging at the base of our downtown.
Brings back memories. Nashville resident , left in 2006 right as it was starting to get crazy crowded. Yes , Briley Parkway was very easy to navigate , as was Rt 840 , the highway that loops around Nashville. I use to travel Murfreesboro Pike a lot as well. Try to avoid I40 going through downtown and I24 down to Smyrna/Murfreesboro. Sat in horrific traffic jams on those roads lol. Happy Trucking , thanks for this video.
Nice ride! I do hope you get to have a few trips this year and given the situation we are in it is very understandable! I really enjoyed your trip through Nashville and I must say Nashville impresses me with it's infrastructure as it is a city that has been growing leaps and bounds over the years! Really enjoyed your commentary too as well as I enjoy your insight into highways, et al!
Even though I watched the video on a 9 year old computer without 4K capabilities the picture did seem a tad sharper. What a pleasant surprise and a break from our grim lockdown here in New York. Thanks. Whatever you can do in 2020 will be appreciated, whatever you can't will be more than understood.
Jim thank you so much for the upload, this video really made this awful month feel just a bit better (although I’m very frustrated that I just now found this video, it never showed up in my recommended or my subscriptions tab). Idk why but I’ve always had a thing for the outdated Nashville freeways, I feel like they just have so much character that other cities lack; I feel like I’m very alone in that opinion though :)
You covered a good part of my journey from school to home, as I went to Montgomery Bell Academy (Exit 205 on I-40) and lived in Hendersonville, except we'd take then I-265 to connect to I-65. Back then TN-386 didn't exist yet, so we had to drive through the Rivergate area of Two Mile Pike & Gallatin Rd., which had the worst traffic of our trip.
Great video. Thank you. Please take care. This coronavirus situation that we are experiencing forces us to protect ourselves. We want to continue seeing your work. A big greeting from Colombia.
I've been to work and back all over each freeway and i know exactly where you are each second! Plus loving the EAGELS! Ps i get off pike church exit off of 155
Really enjoyed this, Jim. I did notice the stabilization in work. Same as in the video I had been working on for months that I eventually scrapped (I-80 Omaha east bound) Every bridge that I passed under would bend the frame to an unacceptable level. Fingers crossed that you do get to New England... I still have never been north of Long Island, I like what I've seen of it on video so far. Someday. Someday.
Glad to see you back! I’m hoping to be in the Nashville area in July for a few days (depending on whether or not my function is canceled). On the bright side, if you film any more of your trips within the next few months, you won’t have to deal with as much traffic! (Or bathrooms or food, etc.)
That Briley Pkwy exit reminds me of some hairpin mountain curves we have on VA back roads where you can see the front and back of your car at the same time.
Nah, I won't be doing any more 4K videos, I prefer the look of the regular camera, this was just an experiment, but get a 4K TV just the same, they are wonderful.
Seeing this video with light traffic reminded me when I saw the Downtown Connector in Atlanta flowing Nicely 3 pm in the afternoon. I knew something was up because the only time u see that is during snowstorms(sometimes).
Got to agree that 65 N out of Nashville is the best freeway in Nashville. 24 down to Murfreesboro is also pretty nice too in my opinion. Stay healthy out there.
way more detail in this vid w/this setup! only odd thing seemed to be some sort of shake or stutter.. not sure if that's due to focus breathing / refocusing, or the camera itself shaking around / lens/sensor stabilization causing it. also were you shooting at 50mm or zoomed in? perspective felt sort of compressed unlike the usual wider-angle feeling. kinda surreal feeling.
Was just there a few weeks back while I was there I was sooo ready to leave and come back home to florida now I'm watching this video missing my hometown lol
Nashville looks good I'm looking forward to moving there this year sometime I have a brother down that way in Murfreesboro so I'm looking forward calling Nashville my hometown
I think the differences were most noticeable on that onramp to the Briley. Of course, that could be because the onramp tries to do a cloverleaf loop in 73 feet. Good video, hope all is well as we're all social distancing now :D
I was a driver for Star Transportation (based out of Nashville) for awhile and I've noticed that of the places I went to with Star that that area of the country uses Pike for road, street, boulevard, avenue, etc. Found it somewhat strange but hey, while in Rome do as the Romans do.
Spent a lot of time in Nashville in the mid 90's including a lot of time in Spring Hill. I agree that you should go back to your old camera. This one made me car sick with the zoom. If you are looking for a good camera to shoot road videos, try the GoPro Hero 8. Great stabilization, 4K, uses battery and cable power, with a 512 memory card (and external power) you can shoot all day, easy window mount, and great settings for night driving. It's not bad to show a small section of hood because when you zoom any amount, the result is you are going to make some people (like me) car sick. Glad to see you are back doing videos. Great way to pass the time. Thanks, Jim.
My old camera is fine, this was just an experiment and yes I will go back to it. I won't have the hood showing, to me it's just too amateurish. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Thank you, no, but he filmed it (at night, you can't see much but you can hear it) passing to the north of him from the balcony of his apartment in West Nashville.
The "Tennessee T" sections (or the "Splits" as we call them in N AL), ARE the makeover! I-65 used to run on the other side of downtown. Briley Parkway is great driving. It's a game among Nashvillians (and frequent visitors): how can I get across town WITHOUT getting on the freeway? When my sister lived up there, I got really good at it!
I'm not sure but unless you're referring to a time before the 1970s or something when there might have been an interstate but no inner loop per se, I think you're mistaken. The driver starts from I-40 eastbound (as if coming back from Memphis) near Charlotte Pike/White Bridge Road. The interstate wraps around the western side of downtown before coming to the 40/65 fork, and the driver takes the 65 South fork to the right, which takes him on the leg of the "inner loop" that goes just south of downtown, which serves as the demarcating line between what we call Downtown and Midtown (where Music Row is, among many other things). If the driver had taken the left fork instead, that would have continued along the west side of downtown and crossed the Cumberland River before coming to the 24/65 fork. Taking a right turn at *that* point would have led him on the leg of the inner loop that goes north of town, eventually reaching yet another split on the northeastern corner of downtown where 65 continues southward along the east side the inner loop and 24/40 continue eastbound for a few more miles. The driver approaches this same split from the south at 2:35 in the video but takes the right fork to follow 24/40 where a left turn would have taken him on the north side 65/24 loop.
It depends where you are going and what kind of drive you want (freeways, back roads?), the east coast is a pretty large area but I'll tell you now, nothing on the east coast will come close to being as enjoyable, interesting and beautiful as US-101 in California is IMO.
The only negative thing with the new camera was when you would go under overpasses, it seemed like the camera would zoom out while under the overpass, and go back to normal once out of the overpass. Also, during certain times, there seemed to be frame drops, but other than that, it was a very great video. Also 0:46, very nice view of the interchange and view.
I list my gear in the closing credits at 7:15. I usually use a Sony HDR-PJ710 Camcorder but for this video I used a Sony a7iii Mirrorless camera to see what it's 4K capabilities looked like and for software I use Apple Final Cut Pro X.
Your video looked pretty good to me, Jim. As for travelling around, stay put unless you have to go somewhere; that's how bad this can be, especially for older people. And I hope you can come up to Ontario in Canada once border restrictions are down. Cheers!
I live in Nashville. I agree. We need a freeway makeover for sure. The city keeps growing and growing.
Yes, something needs to be done or the city will choke on its own growth.
24/40 is horrible. That needs to go to double deck or something. Construction to widen it would be very expensive because of land acquisition and bedrock through that area.
Just watch out how the expansion goes, or it could be just as crazy as H-town, even with expanded highways.
@@LoyalmoonieProductions Honestly....it needs to be.

as for the mass transit makeover, rapid bus and some trams in downtown nashville, with a couple of rapid bus and tram hubs, one on north side of downtown and one on south side of downtown, with rapid buses being the majority for metro nashville, while downtown and some parts outside of downtown can have trams instead of buses. downtown nashville is more densely packed than the rest of nashville and the metro area, so rapid buses wouldn't be enough, trams would tho. but downtown nashville might have enough for a single loop in downtown nashville, since downtown isn't that big.

It’s cool knowing I’ve driven the same places you have. It’s super neat in my opinion
Thanks!
Nice video. I live in Nashville and agree completely that Nashville has a terribly confusing freeway system .
Thank you!
way more detail in this vid w/this setup!
only odd thing seemed to be some sort of shake or stutter.. not sure if that's due to focus breathing / refocusing, or the camera itself shaking around / lens/sensor stabilization causing it.
also were you shooting at 50mm or zoomed in? perspective felt sort of compressed unlike the usual wider-angle feeling. kinda surreal feeling.
Can't wait for this 2020 season!
Was just there a few weeks back while I was there I was sooo ready to leave and come back home to florida now I'm watching this video missing my hometown lol
Cool thanks for coming to Nashville
At least you were able to travel up to your son. Also, this whole thing will hopefully mean less traffic!
Yes and yes, traffic would have been much more difficult in Nashville had this been a normal Monday.
Nice video, I❤Nashville
The Nissan at 3:00 gave me road rage... never had road rage while sitting at my desk listening to 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' before, but here we are.
I gave him the horn for that move.
What a great surprise today! A Freewayjim video!
Thank you for watching!
Nashville beautiful place❤️
Yay I am so happy you made a new video I was waiting for one. BTW love your videos they are awesome
Thank you very much Craig.
No problem
Nashville looks good I'm looking forward to moving there this year sometime I have a brother down that way in Murfreesboro so I'm looking forward calling Nashville my hometown
Darrell Smith No don’t come down here it’s not what you want i promise you
Darrell Smith welcome! Hope you love it here. I do😊
300kapone I couldn’t agree more. Glad I left!
Love how u stick with the Dallas high five in the intro👍😃
@Chooey Sooares 5 level interchange in dallas. It is one of the most impressive interchanges in the world and definitely one of the tallest.
I’m from the Nashville area. Saying Nashville needs an interstate makeover is an understatement. The road situation around here is embarrassing.
I did not want to say it in those (accurate) terms in the video, but yeah, you are spot on.
I think the differences were most noticeable on that onramp to the Briley. Of course, that could be because the onramp tries to do a cloverleaf loop in 73 feet.
Good video, hope all is well as we're all social distancing now :D
Thank you and all is good on that front.
Love the video i went to Nashville last week.
Thank you!
@@Freewayjim You are so welcome.
I was a driver for Star Transportation (based out of Nashville) for awhile and I've noticed that of the places I went to with Star that that area of the country uses Pike for road, street, boulevard, avenue, etc. Found it somewhat strange but hey, while in Rome do as the Romans do.
Love your videos man!
Thank you!
Spent a lot of time in Nashville in the mid 90's including a lot of time in Spring Hill. I agree that you should go back to your old camera. This one made me car sick with the zoom. If you are looking for a good camera to shoot road videos, try the GoPro Hero 8. Great stabilization, 4K, uses battery and cable power, with a 512 memory card (and external power) you can shoot all day, easy window mount, and great settings for night driving. It's not bad to show a small section of hood because when you zoom any amount, the result is you are going to make some people (like me) car sick. Glad to see you are back doing videos. Great way to pass the time. Thanks, Jim.
My old camera is fine, this was just an experiment and yes I will go back to it. I won't have the hood showing, to me it's just too amateurish. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Hell yeah brother, I want to visit one day and drive that road
The God is back!
LOL.
Pretty good video, sir.
Was your son affected by the Nashville tornado earlier this month?
Thank you, no, but he filmed it (at night, you can't see much but you can hear it) passing to the north of him from the balcony of his apartment in West Nashville.
Are there other videos of yours in which you included music from The Beatles?
Beatles songs are usually zapped, I used the this cover of Help in this video from 2016 czcams.com/video/RpiiE4wiyak/video.html
Welcome back! Hope you're staying safe and healthy during the coronavirus apocalypse.
Thank you, all is good.
The "Tennessee T" sections (or the "Splits" as we call them in N AL), ARE the makeover! I-65 used to run on the other side of downtown. Briley Parkway is great driving. It's a game among Nashvillians (and frequent visitors): how can I get across town WITHOUT getting on the freeway? When my sister lived up there, I got really good at it!
I'm not sure but unless you're referring to a time before the 1970s or something when there might have been an interstate but no inner loop per se, I think you're mistaken. The driver starts from I-40 eastbound (as if coming back from Memphis) near Charlotte Pike/White Bridge Road. The interstate wraps around the western side of downtown before coming to the 40/65 fork, and the driver takes the 65 South fork to the right, which takes him on the leg of the "inner loop" that goes just south of downtown, which serves as the demarcating line between what we call Downtown and Midtown (where Music Row is, among many other things). If the driver had taken the left fork instead, that would have continued along the west side of downtown and crossed the Cumberland River before coming to the 24/65 fork. Taking a right turn at *that* point would have led him on the leg of the inner loop that goes north of town, eventually reaching yet another split on the northeastern corner of downtown where 65 continues southward along the east side the inner loop and 24/40 continue eastbound for a few more miles. The driver approaches this same split from the south at 2:35 in the video but takes the right fork to follow 24/40 where a left turn would have taken him on the north side 65/24 loop.
Did you take Briley to avoif i65 backups through downtoen?
Great videos!
I can,t believe how much it is growing here in Nashville
I drove with my wife and kids from San Francisco to Los Angeles using 101 nine years ago.
Is there any routes on the east coast you recommend?
It depends where you are going and what kind of drive you want (freeways, back roads?), the east coast is a pretty large area but I'll tell you now, nothing on the east coast will come close to being as enjoyable, interesting and beautiful as US-101 in California is IMO.
The only negative thing with the new camera was when you would go under overpasses, it seemed like the camera would zoom out while under the overpass, and go back to normal once out of the overpass. Also, during certain times, there seemed to be frame drops, but other than that, it was a very great video. Also 0:46, very nice view of the interchange and view.
Yep, it was a one time experiment, but I figured people would enjoy the video just the same.
Nice job Jim and Erik.
Yes, and it begins . The corona virus season
LOL!
Does this video pass by area(s) which was hit by the tornado?
Supposedly on Briley Parkway but I did not notice anything.
Thanks Jim, Stay healthy man
Thanks, you too!
I went to Nashville TN 5 years ago and Grand Ole Opry Hopefully I'll have to go back again
LOVE this video and the music*
Thank you very much Michelle!
What kind of camera and editing software are you using?
I list my gear in the closing credits at 7:15. I usually use a Sony HDR-PJ710 Camcorder but for this video I used a Sony a7iii Mirrorless camera to see what it's 4K capabilities looked like and for software I use Apple Final Cut Pro X.
Your video looked pretty good to me, Jim. As for travelling around, stay put unless you have to go somewhere; that's how bad this can be, especially for older people. And I hope you can come up to Ontario in Canada once border restrictions are down.
Cheers!
Thank you Frederick, yes it will be nice to have things back to normal, I don't have short-range plans to visit Canada but hopefully, someday I will.
Call me Fred. And when you do come, drop me a line.
@@Pyeknu Thanks
@Freewayjim Where were you headed? I’m originally from Gallatin, TN and I’ve been on Vietnam Veterans Blvd (TN-386) a thousand+ times.
Nowhere in particular, my son lives in Nashville , was just showing me a few things.
Freewayjim Nice! I hope you enjoyed the time you had over here!
@@brandonbaril4516 A trip to McKay's always makes for a good time.
Nice video. Glad to see you
Thank you!
