BGS longest gap between exits

[RZF]

Two BGSs on prominent freeway stretches in Southern California show the ensuing three exits, but the third exit is way far away from the next two. Its typical for BGSs to show the next exit within 1 mile, the second within 2 miles, the third within 3, or any other variation from that. However, I rarely have seen far distances between exits on urban big green signs. I wonder if any of you have any examples.

The two I know of are US-101 in Ventura just past California St, where Seacliff is a staggering 9 miles away:

And I-5 in Oceanside just past the CA-76 junction, the Las Pulgas Rd exit being 8 3/4 miles away:

Pretty sure this is a thread already, perhaps twice over, even.

I'll mention the BGS for Bradley Int'l Airport on I-91 again...10 miles or whatever it is.

Are we talking about the green mileage signs like in the center of the urban freeway?  Because there is that sign in east Texas on interstate 10 that reads "Beaumont 23, El Paso 857"

Yes, we have done this at least twice already:

No, I believe the verdict, at least in the previous thread, was that it only counts if it's the next consecutive exit.

If there is such a BGS, I'm pretty sure one with Yeehaw Junction on it would win.

I think the closest we can get is this mileage sign.  Yes, the first two are consecutive exits;  no, it is not an interchange sequence sign.

A couple of the PA Turnpike's "Exits" signs in/near the Somerset-Bedford stretch might work here (although the Yeehaw Junction example still has them all beat):

-EB leaving Donegal
-EB leaving Somerset
-WB leaving Bedford
-WB leaving Breezewood

I swear I've seen "Next Exit 20 Miles" on the NY Thruway. The NJTP had something similar, "Thru Traffic 14 Miles".

Advance guide signs have a banner at the bottom stating the mileage to the next exit on the Thruway.

47 miles between exits!?

Here's 19 miles, which is the longest on I-90's portion of the Thruway. I'd be surprised (but not shocked) if there's a longer one somewhere on I-87.

Well...

At 51 miles, I think the exit for Yeehaw Junction on Florida's Turnpike might be the winner for longest distance, though there's a longer distances (especially out west) for services.

Now with Kissimmee Park Road interchange 4 mils ahead it makes the gap shorter.   However, cash tolls were still 51 miles out, as the Kissimmee Park ramp is AET, but now Orlando area on the Turnpike is all AET so the gap is reduced for all to 41 miles.

Also to note that from SR 60 at Yeehaw Junction to SR 70 at Fort Pierce is 41 miles between the two.

Closest example I could think of is this one on the approach to the San Mateo Bridge:

ISTHA laughs and has a 25 miles on the BGS itself for the next exit (not a sequence nor a mileage sign, and not a "next exit xx miles"  sign) on I-88 west at IL-251 in Rochelle for IL-26 in Dixon.

Not only is it 47 miles between Yeehaw Junction and the next exit to the north, it is also 40-ish miles between Yeehaw Junction and the next exit to the south, for a 87 (or so) mile stretch with only one exit.

Fortunately for those of us with small bladders, there is a service plaza in both of those stretches.  (if I remember correctly; been a while since I drove it)

Plus the Kissimmee Park Road interchange is only a half diamond.  Heading northbound, it doesn't shorten the distance to the next exit one can take at all.

Gonna be a lot of Illinois in this thread.

Genoa Road from 17 miles away at the US-20 exit on I-90. Funny part is that IL-23 is a closer and more important interchange.

[MinecraftNinja]

30 miles between exits on the Pike in western Massachusetts.

[US 89]

Although I don't think a sign exists, there is a 37 mile distance between exits on I-80 in western Utah, between the Salt Flats exit (4) and the Knolls exit (41). I believe this is the longest such stretch on any Interstate.

However, the IL-23 interchange didn't even open till last year.

... Yeehaw Junction, discussed just upthread, is longer. Unless you're counting the service area as an "exit" in that case.

The FL Turnpike is not an Interstate.

Here in Kansas, there is a sign for 34 miles.

Oops. Should have known I was missing something obvious...
