Ok so what regular one road (For instance, "Bailey Ave in Jackson", "Steed Road in Atlanta") has the most exits from Interstates? NO FRONTAGE ROADS.
I know Ashland Avenue has 3 or 4 in Chicago (I'm including exit 354 on I-57 because you are on that road when you exit)
Cincinnati and Columbus theoretically should have a lot, but a lot roads change names midway.
Some 4+ examples for St Louis. There's way too many 3 examples in the metro area that I'm not going to list them:
Hanley Rd: I-270, I-170, I-70, I-64. Continues south as Laclede Station Rd past MO 100, which has an exit off I-44.
Lindbergh Blvd: I-255, I-55, I-44, I-64, I-70 and I-270.
There are 10 interchanges on US 5 between West Springfield, MA, where it becomes a freeway, and Brattleboro, VT, where continuing straight puts you on VT 119. Exclude non-Interstates (MA 2), and you get 9, and exclude sequential exit 21 for the "no frontage road" rule, and you're left with 8.
If it doesn't have to be interstate exits specifically, Wadsworth Boulevard in the Denver metro has exits at CO470, US285, US6, I-70, and US36. It's also CO121, so I'm not sure if we're trying to limit only to local roads or not. But it's not limited access at any point.

The last couple of posts are not what the OP is wanting. He's wanting to know how many Interstates the same local road interchanges with.
So, in the OP's example, Ashland Avenue doesn't have three or four exits, because it's a local road. Rather, three or four Interstates have an exit for Ashland Avenue.

I guess for my example, it's how we define a local road (does a state highway that carries the same road name count?) and then are we limiting to only interstates or can we include other limited access highways.

In Detroit,
Woodward has 3 (I-75, I-94 and I-696)
Gratiot has 3 (I-375, I-94, I-696) plus an exit to and from I-75 but it doesn't cross I-75.
Michigan has 4 (I-75, I-96, I-94, I-275)
Grand River has 5 (I-75, I-94, I-96 three times), also crosses I-275 the third time it cross I-96 as well.
Telegraph has 4 (I-275, I-94, I-96, I-696)
Van Dyke has 2 (I-94 and I-696)
Greenfield has 2 (I-94 and I-696)
8 Mile has 3 (I-94, I-75 and I-96/275)

^^ Yeah that's what i was going for sorry for my weird wording.
You can include limited access highways but just specify. The road can have a route number AS LONG as it also has a regular name with it. (e.g. US 51, State Street)

Yep, so then my example works. CO121 is called Wadsworth Boulevard the whole way, does not have any of its own exits that are not to the highways in question, and all of them are limited access. So, 5 total.
Depends on how you define limited access one of these new two counts:
Federal Boulevard has exits from US285, US6, US40, I-70, I-76, and US36. 6 total.
Colfax Avenue has exits from I-70, I-70 again, CO88, I-25, I-225, and I-70 for a third time. 6 total.
The reason I say it depends on how we define limited access is that there are two consecutive exits (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7411707,-105.024498,15.46z) on US40/Colfax Avenue at US287/CO88/Federal Blvd and I-25, so if we count that as limited access, the first one counts and the second one doesn't, and vice versa.

This has to be the bread winner, and It actually has 2 in Portland. Ig 69's ramp to Grand River doesn't count.
Grand River Avenue might be the longest road I've ever seen that has "avenue" applied to it. Really incredible, and yeah, that might be the easy winner here.
Yes I am well aware that Grand River has several other exits but I wasn't leaving the Metro Detroit area that's why I only put it at 5 but it does have 5 more west of Metro Detroit.
Does it matter that a short section of Grand River Ave is renamed in Lansing?
What about the stretch in Clinton County that is called Grand River Hwy?

No because it reverts back to Ave by the time it interchanges with the interstates. And we don't have to get
too technical and say it's two different roads because it changes.
I can't think of any in Minneapolis that have more than two. Some county roads have 3, but the names of the roads change (such as Hennepin CSAH 61, which has five six different names between 494 and 694).
Lyndale: 94 and 494 (35W doesn't count because all interchanging is done via MN 62)
Hennepin: 94 and 35W
Pilot Knob: 494 and 35E
Snelling: 94 and 694
Lexington: 94 and 694
West 7th: 94 and 35E
University: 35W and 35E
I guess technically there is Cedar Avenue (35E, 494, and 94). :bigass:
Washington Avenue I suppose qualifies because some of the I-94 exits north of downtown exit onto it (94, 394, 35W).

When I originally read the thread title, Cedar Ave. immediately came to mind because it's named "Avenue" while functioning as a freeway, and thus could be construed as a "regular road" with many exits. Then I read the OP and realized that's not what's being looked for. I supposed you could make a case for the three you mentioned, but two of them are full freeway-freeway interchanges.
Imperial Highway in the LA area has ramps at the end of I-105 (and parallels that for some time), and has exits with that name from I-405, I-110, I-710, I-605, and I-5. That's six Interstates, plus the CA-57 and CA-91 freeways.
It is a surface street. Parts of it are CA-90, including the CA-57 and CA-91 interchanges, but not where it crosses the interstates.

After University Ave swings north in St. Anthony Main and picks up the MN 47 designation, doesn't it also have an interchange at 694 in Fridley? I'm pretty sure that it does.
Not sure this would count, as it does change names, but it is one continuous roadway. One road has "Hwy" but it's no more than an arterial connector.
In the Seattle area: Interurban Ave becomes West Valley Hwy in Tukwila. From north to south, it interchanges with WA-599, I-5, and I-405; after it becomes West Valley Hwy, it interchanges with WA-18 and WA-167.

Sorry, it's disqualified if it changes names.
Just so I'm clear, the regular road cannot be "frontage/access road" and the like.
- It has to have an ordinary street name (Bailey Ave, Watkins Drive, River Blvd.. etc)
- It has to retain the same name at each of the interchanges.
- It doesn't have to be signed on the exit sign.
- It's fine if it changes suffixes or names
as long as it reverts back to its original by the time it reaches the next interchange, such as Grand River. And it needs to have some sort of correlation to the original road !
- If it is one continuous road, but changes suffixes at different interchanges (e.g. Adams Blvd -> Adams Road) make it clear!

I think my 6 exits for Lindbergh Blvd is safe then. It changes name to Kirkwood Rd between I-44 and MO 100, but reverts back later. Also, the exit signage BGS from all 6 interstates have Lindbergh Blvd on them.
Something else interesting about Lindbergh Blvd is that the only interstate in the St Louis area that doesn't have an exit to this road is I-170.
Michigan Avenue is pretty long too not sure if it's as long as Grand River Avenue but it extends pretty far west of Detroit. As far as having the most interchanges with an Interstate or freeway Grand River will have it beat.

Got it. Is "Hwy" not allowed? If not, you may want to reconsider as "Hwy" is a very common suffix in my area for roads that are, at best, local collectors.
I think Interurban Ave would still be Seattle's leader with three interchanges (599, I-5, and I-405). Seattle is brutal: hills, water, and constantly changing road names. There's so many continuous roads that don't require any sort of turn, but do change name.
Vancouver has a tie: either Westminster Hwy (BC-99, BC-91 x2), or (SE) Marine Dr/Way (BC-99, Knight St, BC-91A). The latter would win if "Hwy" is not permitted.
Michigan has counties that have roads called Highway no matter what kind of road they are. It could be a dirt road and it'd be called a Highway. I know Eaton and Lenawee counties are two that do. In Eaton County E-W roads are called Highway's and N-S roads are called Road's. In Lenawee County it's the opposite the E-W roads are called Road's and N-S are called Highway's.
Then you have the counties that have the roads that are called Drive's. Like Calhoun County and they are all named after a letter then that county has a mile road system that starts at the Kalamazoo/Calhoun County line.
"Hwy" and any uncommon suffix is fine, as long as it meets the other criteria.
Laburnum Avenue in Richmond has four: I-195, I-64 (twice) and Toll VA-895/Pocahontas Parkway. Maybe five. The exits for I-64 and I-195 are entangled in such a way that Laburnum has a partial exit from I-64 eastbound that splits from the ramp from I-64 to I-195 that is directly across from the ramps to/from I-195, but the ramp from Laburnum to I-64 westbound is on the eastern side of the I-64/I-95/I-195 interchange. So you could say there are three interchanges with I-64.
When I lived in Richmond, I kept trying to find a way to get from Laburnum onto I-95 (Hey, I can see it right there!) but I never could figure it out. Nor could you get on I-95 trying to turn north on Hermitage (VA-161), or even the zigzag from Hermitage to Dumbarton to the Brook Road exit (US-1). The closest way was to turn south on Hermitage down to its interchange with I-64/I-95 and then try to cross all the way over to the I-95 side.

Some areas do a lot more name changes than others, so they're at a bit of a disadvantage.
Also, areas with a stronger grid also have an advantage because roads tend to be longer (Detroit, for example).
Indian School Road In Metro Phoenix has 6
Loop 303 Goodyear
Loop 101 Phoenix
US 60-Grand Avenue/35th Avenue (Full Diamond EB/Half Diamond WB) , Ramps WB to 35th Avenue Northbound and US60 Westbound)
I-17 Phoenix (soon to be a Double Diamond)
AZ 51 Phoenix
Loop 101 Salt River-Pima Nation
The grand champion for Nebraska is surely Cornhusker Highway in Lincoln, which has 2 on I-80 plus 1 on I-180.

Sorry for bumping... I was going through older threads I missed a while back and I was intrigued enough by the topic to investigate.
For Nevada, the best we get is one road with five interchanges.
*Virginia Street in Reno: I-580/US 395 (half interchange at exit 25), I-580/US 395 (at exit 29), I-580/US 395 (half interchange at exit 31), I-80, and US 395. (It probably helps that Virginia Street is the old US 395 alignment, and the freeway through south Reno crosses over it three times...)
Next best is one road with four interchanges.
*Durango Drive in Las Vegas: southern CC-215, Summerlin Pkwy (half interchange), northern CC-215 and US 95. (This one is a bit iffy, because Durango Drive is discontinuous between Summerlin Pkwy & northern CC-215, although it is the same road on the same alignment.)
After that, there's a bunch of roads with three interchanges in the Las Vegas area.
*E/W roads that interchange CC-215, I-15 & US 95: Russell Road, Tropicana Ave, Flamingo Road, Charleston Blvd, Lake Mead Blvd, and Cheyenne Ave.
*N/S roads that interchange CC-215 twice and US 95: Decatur Blvd & Jones Blvd.
*Las Vegas Blvd interchanges with I-15/I-215/CC-215, US 95, and I-15 again way north of town (at Apex).
*Buffalo Dr interchanges with southern CC-215, Summerlin Pkwy, and US 95 (half interchange). (There's two discontinuities between the interchanges, but again same road alignment).
And two instances of one road with three interchanges in Northern Nevada:
*McCarran Blvd in Reno interchanges with I-80 (at exit 10), US 395, and I-80 again (at exit 19).
*Winnemucca Blvd in/near Winnemucca interchanges with I-80 three times, at exits 173, 176 & 180 (the street is original US 40).
Too bad it can't change names... there'd be tons of examples here in Houston.
Using the current parameters, same road, same name, any freeway/controlled access, I'll try to think of some for Houston
One that immediately comes to mind is Gessner Road in west Houston. It intersects and is an exit on: beltway 8 south, interstate 69, westpark tollway, interstate 10, US 290, beltway 8 north, and SH 249. That's 7. Then with 6 is Bellfort which has an exit off of grand parkway west, interstate 69, beltway 8 southwest, south post oak road's short freeway stub (planned extension of ft bend parkway allegedly), US 90 alternate (limited access mini freeway), SH 288, and IH 45.
Now if we included streets that changed names we would have Elgin/Lockwood/ Westheimer which intersects 610, 10, 45, 69/288, 610, beltway 8, westpark tollway, and grand parkway.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that since it's not signed from the freeway as Lake Drive at Exit 36 (just County 23) or Exit 129 (MN 97/CSAH 23).
