Smallest place with "Next X Exits" sign

[GaryV]

I've seen a thread with the largest value for X.

But this is different.  What small places have a "Next X Exits" sign?

I submit Mackinaw City, MI - there is a sign for "Next 3 Exits" on NB I-75.  The population, not counting tourists, is less than 1000.

Any smaller locations?

It's not exactly the NEXT X EXITS sign you're looking for, but it's related: PennDOT sometimes uses what the MUTCD calls a "Community Interchanges Identification Sign"  (i.e. "Anytown Exits:" ), even in advance of small boroughs and CDPs with only two exits. The smallest example I can think of off-hand is Muncy (larger than your example at about 2,500), but there could be smaller municipalities with such a sign. If there's one at Delaware Water Gap, for example (I'm not sure if there is), that would qualify.

The thread topic put me in mind of a cartoon I saw in an old issue of a major national magazine (like Time) from roughly the late '50s. The issue had a number of puff pieces basically celebrating new highway construction and its positive impact on building a more "modern"  America. Anyway the cartoon showed two businessmen in a car on a busy urban freeway. A sign beside them read something like "Metropolis: NEXT 27 EXITS" . And the one businessman says to the other, "So I was talking to this yokel from a three-exit town..."  As if to say that in the brave, new, auto-centric America, the prominence of a city would be gauged by the number of interchanges it had.

I wanted to say Wallace, North Carolina, next 3 exits on I-40, but that's a population of 3,880. Dagnabbit.

Regarding what briantroutman mentions, there's a sign on northbound I-395 in Washington DC listing "Nationals Park EXITS" and giving three options. I suppose you could argue that a ballpark with a capacity of around 41,000 would or should count as larger than a tiny municipality.

...and Unadilla, NY has a population of over 4,000...

Smallest in NW Ohio is probably the sign for Rossford, next 4 exits on I-75. Rossford population, 6293 (2010).

In Kentucky, I'd submit Princeton (next 2 exits) on I-69 (former Western Kentucky Parkway) and Clay City (Clay City EXITS -- KY 15/82 and KY 1057, or vice versa, depending on direction of travel) on the Mountain Parkway.

Perry in Florida is not along I-10, but going WB has a Next 2 Exits sign approaching US 221.  Now Perry is not that big (7,017) according to wiki, so I do not know if that is what you mean by small.  However, High Spring along I-75 has a Next 3 Exits sign going north and south and that is over 5300 in population.

I remember that Moriarty, NM has "MORIARTY EXITS" signs on I-40. Moriarty only has a population of 1,910.

Silver Springs, FL always had a Next Exits sign  on I- 75 along with Ocala for years and now is solo as FDOT gave Ocala its own sequence exit mileage listing sign.    Now Silver Springs is more of an attraction than a city despite it being considered one by the US Post Office.

Wells, NV has a Next 2 Exits sign on I-80. Population 1,292. It’s the only city with services for 50 miles on either side of it.

Deposit, NY on NY-17 (Future I-86 E).

Population: 1,712.

CONNDOT likes to sign the next exits for a town/city right at the town/city line.  I think Union (pop. ~800) has one for its two exits.

Not smaller than Muncy, but I remember seeing a sign on I-90 for North East, PA (population 4,294 in 2010).

Hinckley, MN (1,800) has a "Next 2 Exits" on northbound I-35, though I'm not sure why because you don't really access anything different from the first exit than you do the second one.

Inglewood is a large city. You might be misunderstanding the point of this thread.

Ontario does that for the QEW.  Lists the city, with its population, and the number of interchanges but not in the Next X Exits though and many cities from Fort Erie to Toronto have large counts, but I mentioned this cause Connecticut is not so unique in this practice.

Whitmore Lake, MI now has a "Next 3 Exits" sign NB on US-23 south of Exit 50
