What's the highest number you've seen on "NEXT [number of] EXITS" freeway signs?

[KCRoadFan]

On freeways in many states (if not all of them), a common signing practice when approaching a town or city is to have a sign with the town's name, and beneath it, the text "NEXT [X] EXITS", where X is a number, to indicate that the next several exits (however many there are) can be used to access various points within said town.

Anyway, what's the highest number you've seen on such a sign? In my metro area (Kansas City), there's this sign labeled "Kansas City NEXT 10 EXITS" at the start of I-635 just north of I-35 heading into KCK. Have you seen any with a higher number, and if so, where?

[Hunty2022]

The highest I have a picture of is "NEXT 5 INTERCHANGES"  on I-64 east going into Newport News. I don't know if I've seen higher numbers elsewhere.

[CtrlAltDel]

I doubt it's the highest, but there's 12 heading north on US-101 before Santa Barbara.

[formulanone]

I think Denton, Texas has a NEXT 16 EXITS sign on I-35W.

In Ontario, the highest number that I can remember is 7, in Kingston. Please lmk if there's a bigger number elsewhere in the province that I might have forgotten about.

Taking the thread title and the first post literally, this likely wins at 124,000.

Maine: "Next 6 Exits", I-95 North, Bangor ME. Sign also exists Southbound as well.

Unrelated, but this used to exist on the Maine Turnpike before entering Portland / South Portland city limits, listing every exit for South Portland, Portland and Westbrook (NB, SB).

New Hampshire: "Next 7 Exits", US 3 North, Nashua NH (Though the sign is in Tyngsborough MA)
Massachusetts: "Next 9 Exits", I-290 East, Worcester MA

[Hobart]

One that comes to mind is I-80 in Joilet; going eastbound, the sign advertises "NEXT 8 EXITS"

It's on I-35E.

That's the one. I still don't think all 16 of those exits actually exist in the city proper.

I can believe it given that it accounts for exits after the merge back into regular I-35 and city limits that look like this:

You don't see this kind of sign in Nevada all that much.

This is likely the Nevada winner: Reno Next 12 Exits on I-580/US 395 north approaching Damonte Ranch Pkwy (exit 26). Counting the interchanges, 12 exits takes Reno up to the Parr Blvd interchange, but the incorporated limits of the City of Reno technically extend further into the north valleys than that.

[michravera]

I doubt it's the highest, but there's 12 heading north on US-101 before Santa Barbara.

I can't say that I've seen the sign on US-101, but San Jose would dwarf the 12 of Santa Barbara. LA, even more so.

[Quillz]

LA would be "next 29-30" exits assuming one of these signs existed at the start of 101's southern terminus.

If we want to be really technical, that sign should be south of SR 431 and count up to Red Rock Road, which would make 19 interchanges.

[AzNate]

The highest that I can remember seeing is 17 exits on AZ Loop 202 in Mesa.

[Hunty2022]

The highest I have a picture of is "NEXT 5 INTERCHANGES"  on I-64 east going into Newport News. I don't know if I've seen higher numbers elsewhere.

My new highest is "Danville Next 8 Exits"  on US 29/Future I-785.

I don't think this post got enough recognition. Well done.

[Ted$8roadFan]

The only one I can recall seeing is on US-1 in South Kingstown, RI, Wakefield: Next 6 Exits.

Well, yea...but:

Even better!

This gets me wondering if the biggest cities don't need these signs, but "second cities" and suburbs need them for recognition.

[mrsman]

That's very true.  Also consider that very large cities are often so large that they may be informally known as something else in the regions that are outside of Downtown.

Let's take Los Angeles, for instance.  The actual city of Los Angeles is very big.  Most people don't view areas like Woodland Hills, Sun Valley, Eagle Rock, or San Pedro as being part of Los Angeles, since they are somewhat suburban or have a unique feel, yet are all technically part of the city of Los Angeles.  This may be part of the reason why the signing practice in CA will have the control city present on BGS for larger cities until you are very close to Downtown, especially Dist. 7 where L.A. is located.

Hollywood is a neighborhood of Los Angeles - very urban - yet with its unique identity due to movies and TV.  Here is a sign for the next 7 exits:

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1222206,-118.3408442,3a,75y,154.09h,85.58t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sanoYauDBrvPry0VDnI_iRg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192


Along US 101, the L.A. City limit is here at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley:

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1578045,-118.6414881,3a,75y,82.32h,78.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHYCOC0uJrGDaQGmJ3ghhtw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

And the road stays entirely within city limits for the next 29 miles until its terminus at the East LA Interchange.  By my count there are 40 more exits in Los Angeles (including several intersecting freeways).  This isn't really relevant or interesting to anyone.  If you are unfamiliar with L.A. and think, if there are 40 exits, maybe I'll just take any of them and get to Los Angeles, but you'll likely just get lost in the San Fernando Valley.  The city is simply too big for a next X exit signs to be helpful.

CA does tend to use this for the smaller cities and the signs are helpful.

[roadman65]

Not next x exits, but a sequence exit guide with four exits on it.
https://goo.gl/maps/RHYoWaR17CUjAoLt6
This is a rarity for most exits on that type of sign.

[ran4sh]

It's a Community Interchanges sign if it has the name of the place served by those exits at the top. With 4 exits they should have just done "next 4 exits" to comply with the MUTCD, if they're all consecutive
