Title: Freeway exits where the route being accessed has the reverse of the exit number
Post by: KCRoadFan on May 02, 2021, 06:36:24 PM
So, I was thinking back to that thread I created a while back, about freeway exits where the intersecting route had the same number as the exit - and, in the process, I remembered that in Hamburg, NY (a western suburb of Buffalo), NY 75/Camp Road intersects the Thruway (I-90) at Exit 57 - the same as the route number backwards!

That, in turn, led me to wonder: where else might there be freeway exits like this, in which the number of the route being accessed happens to be the same as the exit number in reverse? (Obviously, one-digit numbers - as well as two-digit numbers with identical digits and three-digit numbers that are palindromes - don't count for the purposes of this thread, because they also match the criteria for the "matching numbers"  thread and would thus be redundant.)

North Carolina has a great palindrome:  Exits 123A-B off of I-40 in Hickory is for US-321 southbound and northbound.  I-40 also has a dyslexic one: Exit 180A-B is for NC-801 southbound and northbound.  And not a perfect one, but Exit 175 off of I-85 in Durham is the south end of NC-157.

How about a palindrome? This hasn't been updated with the replaced signage, but it is legitimately exit 111 to CA 111.

So you mean like Exit 57 off I-75 which is McNichols (Six Mile) Road in Detroit?

Only if McNichols was M-57 or US-57.

Ok that happens at Exit 131 in Clio so I got it now.

Further one's in Michigan are M-96's exit with I-69 at exit 36.

How about I-96 and I-69 running concurrent on the west side of Lansing?

I-94 never meets M-49.

And I-75 with M-57 was mentioned above.

That's not Exit 96.

Nope.  Neither one is Exit 69 or Exit 96.  (We did a reflexive concurrency thread a while back.  )

Doesn't matter.  Does M-49 meet any freeway at Exit 94?  That's what's being asked for.

Exit 15 on I-94 in Indiana is for IN 51
