The only exit on I-64 in West Virginia that I haven't used is Exit 133 (Pluto Road).  Assuming the mileage is close, the distance from the Grandview exit (Exit 129, WV-309) to the Morehead exit (Exit 137, KY-32) is about 209.5 miles.  That's less than the 290 miles or so that I'm showing on I-95.

If Kentucky hadn't built the KY 801 exit in Rowan County, would you be able to extend your streak westward past Morehead?


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Nope, that's the end of that string.  For some reason, I've never stopped anywhere between Morehead and Winchester.  But that doesn't necessarily define the "use" of an exit.  So it turns out that I've used every exit on another section of I-64 between Exit 98 (Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway) and Exit 49 (US-460/Frankfort), including all of the ones on the I-75/I-64 multiplex.  So there's only 6 exits that I'm missing in the middle.  But I do recall my folks using what's now Exit 101 (US-60/Mt. Sterling) when the Interstate ended there eons ago.  And once upon a time I pulled off one of the other Mt. Sterling exits and found no gas stations operating on a Sunday afternoon (Exit 110 for US-460/KY-11), so I didn't count this one either.

In Wisconsin, I have used every exit of I-94 between the WI-80 (Exit 61) exit in New London (This is I-90's number) and the WI-100 Ryan Road (Exit 322) in Milwaukee County.  That's about 160 miles.

I have exited every exit on I-90 south of that New Lisbon exit as well.
New London? That's near Appleton nowhere near I-94.

I-75 from I-71 South in Kentucky to OH 122 in Middletown, OH. Approximately 52 miles +/- going by exit numbers.

He meant New Lisbon, which is on I-94 near Wisconsin Dells.

For me, I think it's the 401 in Ontario from Exit 238 (CR 2 near Woodstock) to Exit 336 (Mississauga Rd), a distance of 98 km or 61 mi. I can't remember taking the first exits on either side.

I'm impressed with how far most people's answers are!

I'm up to 104 miles - exit 111 to exit 215 on I-80 in Pennsylvania. If I ever use exit 111, the western boundary will go to exit 90; if I use exit 215, I'd go to exit 277.

i-25: from the 25/76/270/36 mess, (is that 217?) to the 25/80 junction in cheyenne (i think its exit 9 in wyoming)

i-270: all (meaning both, lol)

i need to get out more.

For me, it's I-71 from Exit 65 to Exit 140 in Ohio (75 miles), followed by I-71 from Exit 173 in Kentucky to Exit 50 in Ohio (approx 69 miles) .. I need to get off at Exit 58 to make a complete 159 mile stretch.

I noticed a couple other posters whose streaks were ended by not taking Exit 58.  I don't think there are any services at that exit.

I'm pretty sure I've used every interchange on the Pennsylvania Turnpike between Willow Hill and Delaware Valley, totaling 169 miles. The one possible exception is the Commerce Drive exit just east of Fort Washington, though I can't remember for sure whether or not I've ever used it. If not, that cuts it down to 151 miles.

Aside from the Turnpike, since its few exits make it a bit of a cheap answer, the longest I've been on would be I-81 between exit 52 (US 11) and exit 90 (PA 72), a mere 38 miles. If you fudge the definition of "stretch of road" to continue onto I-78, I've used every exit over to exit 30 in Hamburg, totaling 67 miles of I-81 and I-78.

in the early 1990s, I rode I-495 in Massachusetts from I-195/Route 25 in Wareham to I-95 in Salisbury, and took every entrance and exit ramp.  In fairness, it was work related.  MassDPW was just beginning their dedicated sign replacement program for Interstates and freeways, and this was long before Google Street View.  In that first round of projects, we had to go out and inventory signs (one engineer to drive and another one - usually me - with a video camera).   Because the I-495 corridor was broken into multiple projects, we didn't need to drive and inventory the whole thing in one shot, but even so, it was a time consuming effort.

NJ Turnpike. I believe I've been at every exit, though perhaps not in both directions.

I only answered for my own city earlier but I've also used every exit on I 110 in Baton Rouge, I 310 and I 610 in New Orleans, every exit from Lafayette Louisiana (the Scott exit) to interstate 510 in New Orleans, every exit on I 55 from la place to Jackson (county line road) and every exit on I-610 New Orleans.
I've also used every exit at some point on the Westbank expressway, Earhart expresssway, beltway 8, and west park tollway. Oh and hardy toll road.
Wow crazy when I think about it.
I love freeways and roads in any state but Texas will always be first in my heart

Georgia

I-75 in GA and TN between exit 27 Huff Parkway in Cleveland, TN and exit 245 for Turner Field/whatever it is named now so about 137 miles

Bumping this thread because my record went up, and also to see if anyone else's has as well.

I've now used every interchange from New Stanton to Fort Washington for a total of 264 miles. I still don't remember for sure if I've used Virginia Drive, but if I have, then that makes every interchange all the way to the NJ Turnpike mainline, a distance of 290 miles.

I've used exits 312, 314 and 318 of Autoroute 20 in Lévis at one point. I think I also used exit 311, but I'm not sure.

Technically, an infinite distance on I-465.

On non-loops,

I-80 from exit 2 (I-294) in Illinois to Exit 1 in Ohio, for a total of 160 miles
I-90 from exit 0 in Indiana to Exit 1 in Ohio, for a total of 158 miles
I-65 from exits 262 to 121 in Indiana, for a total of 141 miles
I-65 from 114 in Indiana to 117 in Kentucky, for a total of 135 miles


One addition:

I-64 from Exit 130 in IL to Exit 19 in KY for 143 miles
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

I've only lived in the desert four years, but I've used every exit on I-10 from Exit 90 at Cherry Valley Blvd to Exit 146 at Dillon Road for 56 miles. I know I used every exit on I-64 from VA 199 west of Williamsburg (234) to Bowers Hill (299) when I lived in Tidewater but there may be new exits built since I left in 2007.

I don't think I've ever used Exit 29, but if I have, then my record extends to Exit 32:

Yes, I used Exit 15

and Exit 19

Note: These are sequential exit numbers, which I infinitely prefer to mileage-based ones, and I don't get why everyone likes the mileage based ones so much.  :hmmm:

Oh no, don't get us started.  :-P

There are a bunch of reasons why mileage-based numbers are the consensus (but by no means universal) preference of users on this board. One is that mileage-based numbers can be used as a reference for any variety of reasons, such as calculating the distance to your exit or distance between exits. Sequential numbers don't really have any function besides just counting up from zero.
