But how many of you have exited at every exit?
I was thinking of this very subject myself recently.  I travel 40 miles to work every day, with 37 of those miles being on I-295 in NJ.  I pass by 16 interchanges between my home and work interchanges, along with a rest area.  In my 14 years of employment with the company, I believe there is exactly 1 interchange I have never used.  There are numerous additional ramps I've never driven at the interchanges I have used.

I've always wanted to do this - use every exit ramp (and thus the entrance ramps) - if nothing more than just to see what was off the exit.  But between not taking the time to do it, plus driving in a carpool where the other members just want to get home - I've never done this yet.

Very cool idea though.  Time consuming...but one gets to see a lot of stuff they never knew existed off some of these exits!

I've definitely taken every exit, and probably every ramp, of CA-52, but that isn't exactly impressive, as it is a 15 mile long suburban connector.

Exit-and-feature list:

Freeway

Enormous hill

So which way am I going on the 52?

Good old San Diego.. go to work on one freeway, go home on another.

Scope out whether there is a gas station at the interchange you have not used. And the next time you drive, happen to need gas.

there's more to it than that, especially when you consider the asymmetry on the east end.  for example, there is an offramp eastbound for Magnolia Ave, and an onramp westbound, but no offramp westbound or onramp eastbound.

btw, you're going west.  as I do every weekday morning.  :sombrero:

Ay, true enough! It just got me thinking of how it seems like every other exit is a freeway on the 52. Used live jno the Genesee exit and I sure do miss it. As freeways go, that one wasn't a bad neighbor.

I have exited at the lone interchange on I-270 Spur in Maryland (Democracy Blvd).  I think I've also used every exit on nearby I-370.  Pretty sure that's it.
