Michigan has counties that have roads called Highway no matter what kind of road they are. It could be a dirt road and it'd be called a Highway. I know Eaton and Lenawee counties are two that do. In Eaton County E-W roads are called Highway's and N-S roads are called Road's. In Lenawee County it's the opposite the E-W roads are called Road's and N-S are called Highway's.

Then you have the counties that have the roads that are called Drive's. Like Calhoun County and they are all named after a letter then that county has a mile road system that starts at the Kalamazoo/Calhoun County line.

"Hwy" and any uncommon suffix is fine, as long as it meets the other criteria.
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)

Dirt Roads

Laburnum Avenue in Richmond has four:  I-195, I-64 (twice) and Toll VA-895/Pocahontas Parkway.  Maybe five.  The exits for I-64 and I-195 are entangled in such a way that Laburnum has a partial exit from I-64 eastbound that splits from the ramp from I-64 to I-195 that is directly across from the ramps to/from I-195, but the ramp from Laburnum to I-64 westbound is on the eastern side of the I-64/I-95/I-195 interchange.  So you could say there are three interchanges with I-64. 

When I lived in Richmond, I kept trying to find a way to get from Laburnum onto I-95 (Hey, I can see it right there!) but I never could figure it out.  Nor could you get on I-95 trying to turn north on Hermitage (VA-161), or even the zigzag from Hermitage to Dumbarton to the Brook Road exit (US-1).  The closest way was to turn south on Hermitage down to its interchange with I-64/I-95  and then try to cross all the way over to the I-95 side.

Not sure this would count, as it does change names, but it is one continuous roadway. ...

Sorry, it's disqualified if it changes names.

Some areas do a lot more name changes than others, so they're at a bit of a disadvantage.
Also, areas with a stronger grid also have an advantage because roads tend to be longer (Detroit, for example).

Indian School Road In Metro Phoenix has 6
Loop 303 Goodyear
Loop 101 Phoenix
US 60-Grand Avenue/35th Avenue (Full Diamond EB/Half Diamond WB) , Ramps WB to 35th Avenue Northbound and US60 Westbound)
I-17 Phoenix (soon to be a Double Diamond)
AZ 51 Phoenix
Loop 101 Salt River-Pima Nation

The grand champion for Nebraska is surely Cornhusker Highway in Lincoln, which has 2 on I-80 plus 1 on I-180.

I can't think of any in Minneapolis that have more than two. Some county roads have 3, but the names of the roads change (such as Hennepin CSAH 61, which has five six different names between 494 and 694).

Lyndale: 94 and 494 (35W doesn't count because all interchanging is done via MN 62)
Hennepin: 94 and 35W
Pilot Knob: 494 and 35E
Snelling: 94 and 694
Lexington: 94 and 694
West 7th: 94 and 35E
University: 35W and 35E

I guess technically there is Cedar Avenue (35E, 494, and 94).  :bigass:

Washington Avenue I suppose qualifies because some of the I-94 exits north of downtown exit onto it (94, 394, 35W).
Lake Drive has 2 on I-35W, one in Blaine and one in Lino Lakes, plus one on I-35 in Forest Lake.

Sorry for bumping... I was going through older threads I missed a while back and I was intrigued enough by the topic to investigate.

For Nevada, the best we get is one road with five interchanges.
*Virginia Street in Reno: I-580/US 395 (half interchange at exit 25), I-580/US 395 (at exit 29), I-580/US 395 (half interchange at exit 31), I-80, and US 395. (It probably helps that Virginia Street is the old US 395 alignment, and the freeway through south Reno crosses over it three times...)

Next best is one road with four interchanges.
*Durango Drive in Las Vegas: southern CC-215, Summerlin Pkwy (half interchange), northern CC-215 and US 95. (This one is a bit iffy, because Durango Drive is discontinuous between Summerlin Pkwy & northern CC-215, although it is the same road on the same alignment.)

After that, there's a bunch of roads with three interchanges in the Las Vegas area.
*E/W roads that interchange CC-215, I-15 & US 95: Russell Road, Tropicana Ave, Flamingo Road, Charleston Blvd, Lake Mead Blvd, and Cheyenne Ave.
*N/S roads that interchange CC-215 twice and US 95: Decatur Blvd & Jones Blvd.
*Las Vegas Blvd interchanges with I-15/I-215/CC-215, US 95, and I-15 again way north of town (at Apex).
*Buffalo Dr interchanges with southern CC-215, Summerlin Pkwy, and US 95 (half interchange). (There's two discontinuities between the interchanges, but again same road alignment).

And two instances of one road with three interchanges in Northern Nevada:
*McCarran Blvd in Reno interchanges with I-80 (at exit 10), US 395, and I-80 again (at exit 19).
*Winnemucca Blvd in/near Winnemucca interchanges with I-80 three times, at exits 173, 176 & 180 (the street is original US 40).

Too bad it can't change names... there'd be tons of examples here in Houston.

Using the current parameters, same road, same name, any freeway/controlled access, I'll try to think of some for Houston

One that immediately comes to mind is Gessner Road in west Houston. It intersects and is an exit on: beltway 8 south, interstate 69, westpark tollway, interstate 10, US 290, beltway 8 north, and SH 249. That's 7. Then with 6 is Bellfort which has an exit off of grand parkway west, interstate 69, beltway 8 southwest, south post oak road's short freeway stub (planned extension of ft bend parkway allegedly), US 90 alternate (limited access mini freeway), SH 288, and IH 45.

Now if we included streets that changed names we would have Elgin/Lockwood/ Westheimer which intersects 610, 10, 45, 69/288, 610, beltway 8, westpark tollway, and grand parkway.
I love freeways and roads in any state but Texas will always be first in my heart

Oh yeah. I forgot about that since it's not signed from the freeway as Lake Drive at Exit 36 (just County 23) or Exit 129 (MN 97/CSAH 23).
