For example, on I-495 in Massachusetts, Exit 38 is Route 38.

I-91 in Connecticut has Exit 5 be Route 5. (It's much easier to find ones that are parallels.)

I-89 in New Hampshire has Exit 11 be Route 11.


Does anyone have any more cool or interesting examples?

I believe this was covered recently!  In fact very recently!  However, I know that we can't check every one of the thousands of posts, so it is an honest action, so I thought I would let you know in a very friendly manner.

Update, this topic was made actually last year, so it is not as recent as I thought it was.

On New York Thruway (I-87/I-287) in Tarrytown, NY, exit 9 is for US 9.  On the Northway (I-87) in Latham, NY, exit 7 is for NY 7.  On the Yankee Expressway (I-84) in Danbury, CT, exit 7 is for US 7/US 202.

Does anyone have an example with an A (like 11A)?

That's actually a different topic covering interchanges between highways having the same exact exit number for each roadway (example: I-93 & 95 in Woburn, MA both being Exit 37).  This thread is asking for where the exit number is coincidentally the same as the route number at that particular interchange.

Not exactly, but Exit 25 on I-75 in Kentucky is for US 25W.

It was last discussed in March, 2013, but as roadman eluded to, the search engine here sometimes is tricky.  After a few searches which reveals 'Exit' or 'Route' is used in about 99.8% of the posts on this board and thus wasn't zoning in on what I wanted, I looked thru about 3 or 4 pages of the General Highway Talk folder and happened to finally catch it.

This also brings up another discussion which we had previously: Start a new thread, or dig up an old thread from the grave. This points out the issues with going either way...

IMO, if the topic isn't readily visible on the board (from the 1st page, to maybe the 5th), then starting a new topic works best. Even if it's already been discussed, it still refreshes the discussion of the topic.

I-295 in Rhode Island has RI 2 as Exit 2 and US 6 as Exit 6. Exit 1 is US 1 right over the border in Massachusetts.

One could say similar for I-95 South's Exit 1 in MA (near the RI border) for US 1 South.

In Spain, Exit 630 off A-66 is for the parallel road, N-630. If A-23 had an exit just halfway between exits 328 and 332...

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

See the topic about reviving old topics. I think this one falls under the category of "okay to revive the old one", since you're not quoting things out of context and confusing everyone. You're just adding to an existing list, which would have been fine.

This almost but not quite qualifies, but was mildly interesting:

The I-405 concurrency with CA-22 starts at Exit 21 and ends at Exit 23.

Yes, this thread has been done before. I know because I contributed to it. But how long ago, or what it was called, I can't be arsed to figure out. Carry on.

Indy north side.  Exit 31 on I-465 is US 31. 

For some reason I always remember that exit number when giving someone directions.  Any other exit number closer to my home?  Nope.  Never can seem to remember them.
