Where can I find more websites like this?

-NJ Freeways. I particularly like this one because it contains proposed additions in grayscale.

-NYSRoads
http://www.nysroads.com/exit-lists.php

-PA Freeways. I like how you can click on the shields at interchanges.
https://www.pahighways.com/exits/

There used to be one for Delaware, though sadly I can't find it anymore. Perhaps someone has the link through Wayback Machine?

As the internet evolved, most people that maintained lists like this, including myself, quit updating the lists. Even the links you provided are very out of date, possibly by 17 years for Ray Martin's page, for example.

They were fun while the fun lasted, but most people who created these pages moved onto other things.

IIRC, Dan Moraseski (SPUI) had one such website as well.

Yep, it was like, the thing to do in roadgeekdom during the later 1990s.

Wasn't he the one who ran exitlists.com? I heard that site had to be deleted due to copyright issues, and the sites linked above were some of the victims.

Exitlists.com currently links to some French-English website full of exit guides, most of which are unfinished. Is this the same website?

I still maintain mine, though I do admit it can be a bit of work.  I find quite a few changes every year between linked photos/street view, my travels, and news articles - not to mention that most of the information is available on Wikipedia, albeit not nearly as pretty.

I still have mine (plus Mike's old Triskele pages).  Though I haven't touched them in years.

Mine will be back, if Millennium Highway ever gets back online, but they haven't been updated in eons and I periodically think about deleting them. I never did get to finish at least one route, and others have had exits added to them that I never got around to adding.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

These days, if you really want to look at every BGS on a route, with a little bit of research you can usually go on the DOT website and track down the actual plan sheets for the real signs. If that's not legitimate enough, some DOTs (I know WSDOT in particular does) have public photologs of their routes, like a higher-quality GSV.

And of course there's GSV itself.
