Title: Highest Exit Sum in Your State...
Post by: thenetwork on June 11, 2018, 07:55:47 PM
Here's another Roadgeek game to give your minds an exercise:

What interchange in your state has the highest sum/number if you added the exit numbers from each roadway together? 

For Example, I am pretty sure the highest sum possible in Colorado is the interchange of I-70 and I-25 in Denver

I-25's interchange with I-70 is Exit 213
I-70's interchange with I-25 is Exit 274


Adding the Exit Numbers together,

213 + 274 = 487

The Number is 487.

-  Only one exit number per route can be used (i.e. adding I-25's Exit 213 A and 213 B together or Exit 213 NB + Exit 213 SB is not allowed -- the I-25 exit is only 213)

-  You may use/add sequential exit numbers with each other or any other combination of sequential & mileage-based numbers together. 

-  If you have an interchange with more than 2 roads/routes, you may add all numbers together, provided each route has it's own unique exit number and that all route connections are part of the overall interchange.

It will be likely that California or Texas will have the ultimate sum/highest total, but it will be fun to see what & where the highest numbers can be in each state.

Annnd GO!!!

Little Rhody's is 19. I-195 splits at I-95 and there is no exit number. The exit number for I-195 off on I-95 is 19.

Some low ones:

Massachusetts: 84. Exit 44 on I-93 and Exit 40 on I-495. (I-495 doesn't have a numbered exit when it merges with I-95 in Salisbury.)

New Hampshire: Absolutely nothing qualifies. Interstate junctions are unnumbered in New Hampshire.

Vermont: Again, nothing qualifies. I-89 and I-93 are both unnumbered at I-91, I-189 doesn't have exit numbers, and the US route and state route freeways don't connect to the Interstates or to each other.

The highest fully signed one in Utah is I-15/80 in Salt Lake City, which is 120 + 308 = 428.

US 89 is unnumbered at the I-84 junction, but if it were, it would be numbered 406. The sum there would be 87 + 406 = 493.

The exit to I-10 from I-69 is number 132.  That plus I-10's 770 makes 902.

I didn't know I-69 had exit numbers, but I checked Street View and saw that it does.  Google Maps doesn't have them labeled, but the tabs are on the signs (at least at I-10).

https://goo.gl/maps/eNVYtZGf5dn (https://goo.gl/maps/eNVYtZGf5dn)

132 miles from that point along the existing road is on the south side of Victoria.

Georgia's champion is the northern split of I-75 (251) and I-85 (85) with a total of 336.

The only other one over 300 is I-75/85 (247) and I-20 (57). (I-85 northbound has no exit to I-75 south at the southern merge, so there's no eligible number there.)

Missouri's is/may be currently I-44 at I-55.

207 (on I-55) +290 (on I-44) =497

If the I-44 interchange at I-70 is ever completed, this interchange will take over - or depending how one counts the WB exit to Madison Street, it may already be the highest.

249 (on I-70) + 292 (assumed for I-44) = 541

Hawaii's highest sum is at H-201's eastern junction (4) with H-1 (19) = 23.

Alaska doesn't do exit numbers, except for one freeway in Fairbanks that doesn't connect to any other freeways.

I think California's is in Redding, at the interchange of I-5 (678) and CA 44 (2) = 680. The I-5 interchange with CA 299 would be higher, except 299's exit numbering only starts east of I-5, with no number on 299 for its interchange with I-5. Similar situation with the US 101/CA 299 interchange, where US 101 has a numbered exit (716) but CA 299's exits onto US 101 are unnumbered.

I think in New York, if you allow that the Thruway interchange is part of the Exit 131 complex from NY 17, then that would be the winner. Adding the Thruway's exit number for NY 17, which is Exit 16, you get 147.

(And if you also add in the Woodbury toll barrier, which is located within the interchange, and for toll collection purposes is designated Exit 15, then you get 162.)

Because of how the Thruway interrupts the exit sequences of both I-87 and I-90, there's really no other competitive option in the state. I-495 gets up to Exit 71, but nothing intersects it that far east (and even if it did, it would only be able to add a handful of exits to the sum total).

Nevada currently only has 6 locations where two freeways with numbered exits intersect. Not all interchange locations are fully finished with all possible freeway-to-freeway numbered exit ramps completed.

129 = 91 (on US 95) + 38 (on CC 215) *
118 = 42 (on I-15) + 76 (on I-515/US 95)
103 = 52 (on I-15) + 51 (on CC 215) **
83 = 15 (on I-80) + 68 (on I-580/US 395)
62 = 61 (on I-515/US 95) + 1 (on I-215)
46 = 34 (on I-15) + 12 (on I-215/CC 215)

*This junction does not currently have ramps in all directions, but the exit numbers are established for both highways.
**The exit number for CC 215 shown here is an estimate; this section of 215 is not yet constructed as a freeway. Different sources indicate slightly different mileages.

Pennsylvania's largest sum is because of the way the Turnpike's and I-76's exit numbers are handled. The roads are one and the same for 326 miles until Valley Forge, after which both I-76 on the Schuylkill Expressway and I-276 on the Turnpike continue the exit numbers up to 351 and 358, respectively. Valley Forge is thus both Exit 326 of I-76 and Exit 326 of I-276, for a sum of 652. Quite a big number for state only about 300 miles across.

The next biggest seems to be I-80 (Exit 260) and I-81 (Exit 151), which make a sum of 411.

Not necessarily. Most states have interstates that start and stop all over the place and don't necessarily get maximum mileage of the size of the state.

I guess my post wasn't there when you started writing this one.

Actually, like I said just earlier, I-76/276 at Valley Forge as well as I-80/81 both beat I-81/476. I-95/276 is surprisingly low, only 397 (~356 + ~41). I-295 won't factor in because of its bizarre east-west mileage starts at 0 there.

Within CA, the highest-numbered double-Interstate interchange would be I-5 (exit 522) with I-80 (exit 86), rendering a total of 608.  Of course, as has been previously stated, I-5 with CA 44 is somewhat higher (680); that's the farthest north freeway-to-freeway interchange in CA with exit numbers for both intersecting routes.  Of course, it would have been considerably higher prior to the rerouting of CA 299 in the Redding area several years back; if anyone has any pix of a EB CA 299 exit number at the I-5 interchange (if indeed exit numbering had been applied to 299 before the switch), please post if just for the purposes of edification!

Close, but a couple miles south you have I-91 North and CT 15 North.  I-91 to CT 15 North is Exit 29.  CT 15 North to I-91 North is Exit 89.  89+29= 118

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no Exit 326 on the Schuylkill Expressway. The last exit is 327 and the Turnpike entrance is not marked as an exit.

New Jersey has Exit 354 on I-76 before NJ exit numbers kick in. Unfortunately it leads to Exit 1 of I-676 meaning the sum is only 355. Aside from that, the Garden State Parkway / I-80 interchange is 159+62 = 221 which is the maximum I believe.

WA: I-5 (182) and I-405 (31) north of Bothell, for a total of 213 (which is a technicality since I-405 does not have exit numbers on either end); if this were restricted to interchanges where both highways have exit numbers, it would be I-5 (164) and I-90 (2) in Seattle, for a total of 166. These junctions are a rarity in which it is not in an expected location.

I'm going off the Turnpike's exit. The eastbound exit is Exit 326 for I-76, and the westbound exit is Exit 326 for I-276. It's really pushing it, but is indeed separate interstates. That's why I also included the I-80/81 sum.

Shows how small New Jersey is (or at least how few Interstates it has) that one road coming in from PA brings with it a single exit number bigger than the sum of any other two exit numbers in the state. :P

It's definitely the former. Both these routes span the entire state, south to north and west to east respectively, and are the longest freeways in the state in their respective direction. The GSP's highest mile marker is 172.4. I-80's is 68.8 (though you can add 4 miles of I-95 to get to the NY state line from 80's eastern terminus).

NJ has a pretty adequate freeway (if not all Interstate) system. The only important missing link is between Trenton and I-287, the cancelled Somerset Freeway. Some nice to haves would be the completion of NJ 55, something along the western state line north of Trenton, and something along the US 40 corridor. None of these would increase the maximum mileage.

I personally wouldn't, since I consider exit 131 to be specifically for NY 17/NY 32, with the ramps to the Thruway unnumbered, and since I wouldn't include the barrier.  The only other one that would compare, though, would be I-84/NY 17 at 125 (4 and 121).  The next one down is probably the Bruckner at 91 (54/6/19/12).

Florida's is I-75/I-10 (435/296): 731

New Hampshire: Absolutely nothing qualifies. Interstate junctions are unnumbered in New Hampshire.

Vermont: Again, nothing qualifies. I-89 and I-93 are both unnumbered at I-91, I-189 doesn't have exit numbers, and the US route and state route freeways don't connect to the Interstates or to each other.

I'm pretty sure that I-93 is Exit 19 on I-91.  For NH, I-393 is signed as Exit 15E on I-93 along with the US routes.  Would that qualify?  (Not that 19 and 15 are impressive, but they are something at least)

Within CA, the highest-numbered double-Interstate interchange would be I-5 (exit 522) with I-80 (exit 86), rendering a total of 608.  Of course, as has been previously stated, I-5 with CA 44 is somewhat higher (680); that's the farthest north freeway-to-freeway interchange in CA with exit numbers for both intersecting routes.  Of course, it would have been considerably higher prior to the rerouting of CA 299 in the Redding area several years back; if anyone has any pix of a EB CA 299 exit number at the I-5 interchange (if indeed exit numbering had been applied to 299 before the switch), please post if just for the purposes of edification!

(Data from OpenStreetMap)

I-5 and CA 99. 525+306=831.

Overlooked that one; when I was living up in that area, the 5/99 interchange utilized 5's numbers for the whole shooting match; apparently that's changed with the extension of the CA 99 freeway.  Thanks to 1 for unearthing that piece of info -- that indeed would be the highest aggregate exit # within the state!

At the interchange between I-15 and US 89 in Farmington UT, the I-15 numbers are 324-325 and the US-89 numbers are 394-395. However, the ramp from 89 to 15 south is unnumbered, and there isn't a direct ramp from 89 south to 15 north. That movement requires using Park Lane, which is exit 395 on 89 and 325 on 15. So you could make a case that Utah gets up to 720.

Also, are we including single interchanges where three routes intersect? If we're allowing three routes, then you can add the Legacy Parkway to that Farmington interchange, which would get it up to 733.

I think in New York, if you allow that the Thruway interchange is part of the Exit 131 complex from NY 17, then that would be the winner. Adding the Thruway's exit number for NY 17, which is Exit 16, you get 147.

(And if you also add in the Woodbury toll barrier, which is located within the interchange, and for toll collection purposes is designated Exit 15, then you get 162.)

Because of how the Thruway interrupts the exit sequences of both I-87 and I-90, there's really no other competitive option in the state. I-495 gets up to Exit 71, but nothing intersects it that far east (and even if it did, it would only be able to add a handful of exits to the sum total).
I personally wouldn't, since I consider exit 131 to be specifically for NY 17/NY 32, with the ramps to the Thruway unnumbered, and since I wouldn't include the barrier.

The only consideration I'd add is that, since NY 17 exits off of itself here, the "mainline" continuing toward the Thruway ramps is itself, in a sense, an "exit". But that's a stretch.

Some low ones:

Massachusetts: 84. Exit 44 on I-93 and Exit 40 on I-495. (I-495 doesn't have a numbered exit when it merges with I-95 in Salisbury.)

New Hampshire: Absolutely nothing qualifies. Interstate junctions are unnumbered in New Hampshire.

Vermont: Again, nothing qualifies. I-89 and I-93 are both unnumbered at I-91, I-189 doesn't have exit numbers, and the US route and state route freeways don't connect to the Interstates or to each other.

I'm pretty sure that I-93 is Exit 19 on I-91.  For NH, I-393 is signed as Exit 15E on I-93 along with the US routes.  Would that qualify?  (Not that 19 and 15 are impressive, but they are something at least)

Even if I-93 is Exit 19 on I-91, I-93 is unnumbered at its terminus. Similarly, I-393 is unnumbered where it meets I-93, despite it being Exit 15E on I-93.

But at least it would give something for Vermont and New Hampshire to have totals of 19 and 15 (19+nothing and 15+nothing).  :D
New Hampshire really makes it hard.  NH 101 at I-95 even skips having an exit number at all, even though I-95 has an exit number for 101.  Can't they make it consistent somehow?

Here's hoping future exit numbers don't use thruway mileage, and instead use the mileage of I-87 and I-90!

But if they did, the highest would probably be the thruway and I-390, since I-190 and I-290 both end at an unnumbered junction with I-90.

Little Rhody's is 19. I-195 splits at I-95 and there is no exit number. The exit number for I-195 off on I-95 is 19.

Actually it is 20 because I-195 has a different exit number on I-95 SB.

19 is for Eddy St SB?

West of it; the last exit on the Thruway would be Exit 495 in Ripley. If only the Thruway's numbering were converted, then nothing else would add enough to the sum to beat 495.

Those unnumbered junctions would still result in a higher sum than Thruway/390, since that junction is only Exit 12 from I-390, and both 190 and 290 are more than 12 miles from there.

So, the 390 interchange would be 362+12=374. The 290 interchange would be 420+0; the 190 interchange would be 426+0.

If NY went mile-based and the Thruway kept its mileage, it would be a tossup between I-90/I-390 and I-90/NY 400.  I-390 would convert to exit 65, and NY 400 is about 65 miles away, so it comes down to the exact numbers and whether NY 400 would get numbers (and whether the terminus would be numbered; NY traditionally hasn't done this, but both I-99 and I-781 have numbered termini).

I think California's is in Redding, at the interchange of I-5 (678) and CA 44 (2) = 680. The I-5 interchange with CA 299 would be higher, except 299's exit numbering only starts east of I-5, with no number on 299 for its interchange with I-5. Similar situation with the US 101/CA 299 interchange, where US 101 has a numbered exit (716) but CA 299's exits onto US 101 are unnumbered.

One thing that keeps us low in California is that Eastern California doesn't have many freeways and that the longest roads in the state Both I-5 and US-101 don't have as many freeway exits.

Meanwhile, with hypothetical mile-based numbers for I-90 and I-87 following their true mileage, the highest sume for NY would be approximately 505 at the eastern I-90/I-87 junction (existing exit 1 for both, which would be approximately 348 for I-90 and approximately 157 for I-87).

418+467=885

The exit to I-10 from I-69 is number 132.  That plus I-10's 770 makes 902.

I didn't know I-69 had exit numbers, but I checked Street View and saw that it does.  Google Maps doesn't have them labeled, but the tabs are on the signs (at least at I-10).

https://goo.gl/maps/eNVYtZGf5dn (https://goo.gl/maps/eNVYtZGf5dn)

132 miles from that point along the existing road is on the south side of Victoria.

It looks like Texas has the top two.  Also above 800 miles to apparently come in fourth behind California is I-10 at I-610 east.  I-10's 775 is enough to reach 801 when added to I-610's paltry 26.

No, since thenetwork specified only the Thruway changing, but also because even a mile-based I-390 doesn't get you close to the highest-numbered exit on a mile-based Thruway, which is 495 (or 494, if we truncate). If we're allowing intersecting highways that don't have numbered exits, then that's what would win.

Exit numbers were implied, which usually means freeways, but not always. However, some people were using examples where unnumbered exits are allowed; so, since non-freeways with numbered exits could have been allowed, we have to decide whether the same applies to non-freeways with unnumbered exits. Granted, it makes great sense to make that distinction–we just have to make it.

True; I didn't think of US 219 since that interchange is a little odd.  Thankfully, signage is clear about the frontage roads being US 219.  If US 219 were to get numbers in this scenario, and number that movement (which I'm not so sure of since it's basically the mainline), it would be 66.

Soooo close to having a marked exit number:

I-10(614) at Toll TX 130. 130 has no exit numbers for I-10 east or west. It likely would have been 497 for a grand total of 1111

In Iowa, it's I-80 and US 61: 295+123=418.

If the Iowa DOT decided to make all of the Avenue of the Saints' exit numbers consistent, the interchange with I-35 would be 190+253=443. But for the time being, an exit number based on the mileage of US 18 is used at that interchange.

For Michigan it has to be 469 (I-94 and I-69 in Port Huron).

Too bad US-2 and M-28 don't have "exits" to I-75 (both have mile markers).  They'd be in the 650 to 670 range.

Pennsylvania's largest sum is because of the way the Turnpike's and I-76's exit numbers are handled. The roads are one and the same for 326 miles until Valley Forge, after which both I-76 on the Schuylkill Expressway and I-276 on the Turnpike continue the exit numbers up to 351 and 358, respectively. Valley Forge is thus both Exit 326 of I-76 and Exit 326 of I-276, for a sum of 652. Quite a big number for state only about 300 miles across.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no Exit 326 on the Schuylkill Expressway. The last exit is 327 and the Turnpike entrance is not marked as an exit.

New Jersey has Exit 354 on I-76 before NJ exit numbers kick in. Unfortunately it leads to Exit 1 of I-676 meaning the sum is only 355. Aside from that, the Garden State Parkway / I-80 interchange is 159+62 = 221 which is the maximum I believe.

Though totally accurate, many of us tend to not think of the Delaware River Port Authorities little stint of using PA mileage to sign a NJ exit.

Yes that is higher than the GSP/ I-80 Exchange being it is signed as such whether good or bad judgement it is signed.

For my native state of Indiana it's almost certainly where the Toll Road meets I-69: 144 + 356 = 500
I hated the renumbering of "classic" I-69's exits (the southern extension SHOULD have been designated as I-63, IMHO!), but somehow it is appropriate that the sum of these two is now 500, in the state that is the home to the World's Most Famous Race, the Indy 500!

Ohio's mentioned above already: I-71 (247) + I-90 (170) + I-490 (1) = 418
Kentucky's is I-71/75 (185) + I-275 (84) = 269
Think Massachusetts would have a new (much higher) answer with their distance based exits conversion.

Now at the risk of creating a duplicate thread, what is the lowest sum of exits in your state? For Ohio, it's probably I-670 (2) + OH 315 (1) = 3. Theoretically, the one at I-71/I-75/US 50 should have a sum of 2, but exits on Fort Washington Way (I-71) aren't signed for some reason, so that one is out.

Mississippi: I-55 @ I-69 @ I-269: 283 + 1 + 0 = 284 (when I-69 has numbered exits in the distant future this number will be higher) Exit 291 on I-55 surpasses this by 7.

Arkansas: I-40 @ I-30: 153 + 143 = 296

For California, I-5(678) and CA 44(2). CA 44 is mostly non-freeway, but its west end in the I-5 area is freeway with exit numbers.

Someone from Texas can come up with a higher sum in Houston, along I-10.

The winner is south of Dallas, TX:

I-35E meets I-20 at Exit 418
I-20 meets I-35E at Exit 467

418+467=885

I-69 has new, higher exit numbers, so I-69 meets I-10 at exit 132. On I-10, the exit number is 770.  So 132 + 770 = 902.

Illinois's highest sum is probably the junction of I-80 and I-57, the only Interstate whose exit numbers reach the 300's.  There, you have 345 + 151 = 496.

There indeed is a direct connection, and it adds to 370. But like you said above, 80 and 81 is the highest - 411.

I was wondering if both routes must have exit numbers to be eligible for this game. That is, if one road has no exit number, then it might be assigned zero, such that Virginia's highest would probably be the northernmost exit on I-81 (Exit 323 + 0 = 323). I could see that being deemed "too easy," though, or alternatively too ambiguous in the context of there being those rare exits in a few places that are actually numbered Exit 0.

Within CA, the highest-numbered double-Interstate interchange would be I-5 (exit 522) with I-80 (exit 86), rendering a total of 608.  Of course, as has been previously stated, I-5 with CA 44 is somewhat higher (680); that's the farthest north freeway-to-freeway interchange in CA with exit numbers for both intersecting routes.  Of course, it would have been considerably higher prior to the rerouting of CA 299 in the Redding area several years back; if anyone has any pix of a EB CA 299 exit number at the I-5 interchange (if indeed exit numbering had been applied to 299 before the switch), please post if just for the purposes of edification!

(Data from OpenStreetMap)

I-5 and CA 99. 525+306=831.

Overlooked that one; when I was living up in that area, the 5/99 interchange utilized 5's numbers for the whole shooting match; apparently that's changed with the extension of the CA 99 freeway.  Thanks to 1 for unearthing that piece of info -- that indeed would be the highest aggregate exit # within the state!
Another one missed: US 101 at CA 299. 716 + 1 = 717.
I note OSM doesn't show an exit number for 299 at 101 itself, but per CalTrans rules, it would be westbound's 1.

Caltrans disobeys those supposed "rules": in both directions, it assigns exit number 1 to the CA 299/Guintoli Lane interchange, and no CA 299 exit number at all to its interchange with US 101.

https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/safety-programs/documents/exit/f0017877-299-a11y.pdf

That conforms to the signage (or lack thereof) I saw last time I was up there.

If we're going by what's signed in the field -- thereby excluding all unnumbered exits -- I-5/OR-22/OR-99EB wins with 254.

I really wish Oregon would just number exits at the termini.

In Maryland, I-95 (64) + I-695 (33) =97.
