Title: Exit numbers milebased but every number used
Post by: roadman65 on May 12, 2021, 05:46:02 PM
In Essex County, NJ I-280 uses every number from 4-15 which 4 is just east of the Morris County Line (Passaic River). No numbers unused in this county for a mile based exit number scheme.

However the bridge across the Passaic River is at the 3.3 milepost, but if an exit 3 was created it would not be in Essex County.

Any other situations for a ten mile interstate or freeway in one particular county to use exit numbers mile based that coincidentally use every number within its borders.

None in Indiana that use 10 consecutive numbers but some that come close:

I-65 uses all numbers from 109-117, a string of 9

I-94 uses all numbers from 1-16 except 4, 7, 8 and 14.
I-65 uses all numbers from 0-9 except 3, 8.
I-465 uses all numbers from 11-21 except 15, 18

I-94 in IL exits 41-63 (22 mi).
I-75 in MI exits 40-63 (23 mi).
I-70 in MO exits 234-249 (15 mi).
I-90 in OH exits 169-190 (21 mi).
I-71 in OH exits 104-117 (13 mi). Concurrency with I-70 is short enough that both 106 and 107 is used, despite the concurrency using I-70's exit numbers.

Having driven up I-35 to Minnesota many a time, I remember that 35W heading into Minneapolis, from the split in Burnsville, has exits of every consecutive number up to at least 16, which is where it meets I-94 downtown. As it is, this actually continues across the river, with 21 being the first exit number not represented on 35W - Exit 20 for New Brighton Boulevard/Stinson Boulevard is followed by Exit 22 for Industrial Boulevard.

In fact, Exit 21 is the only missing exit number on 35W between 1 and 33, the latter of which is for County 17/Lexington Avenue in Circle Pines. North of this point, there's only one more exit on 35W before it merges with 35E to become I-35 again.

(Now that I think of it, MNDOT should probably sign the northbound ramp to New Brighton as Exit 20 and the southbound ramp to Stinson as Exit 21 - that way, all the numbers from 1 to 33 would be represented on 35W!)

There appear to be two cases of 10+ consecutive exit numbers in Utah:

I-15, 303 to 317 (3300 South in South Salt Lake to 500 West in Bountiful)
I-80, 120 to 134 (I-15 north junction in Salt Lake City to SR 65 at Mountain Dell)

Should note that both of those involve a couple of letter suffixes, and also a couple of incomplete interchanges. Southbound I-15 is the only direction in which you will actually see 10 consecutive numbers.

How many consecutive numbers are represented at the start of I-95 through Miami and South Florida? It probably goes into the 30's or 40's, at least - there are a lot of exits along that stretch.

I-95 in Massachusetts after renumbering has a consecutive stretch from 49-61, although 50A/50B might disqualify it. (I say might because they were 32A/32B sequential despite being unrelated exits.)

I-495, which has not switched over yet, will include 99-109, and 103A/B is fine because they are different directions of the same road.

Even more: I-290 has everything from 13 to 27 (and 11 and 12, but 12 is split into 12A and 12B).

On Georgia 10 Loop, which is the 20-mile beltway around Athens GA, every mile from 6 to 15 has an associated exit. But this isn't necessarily a good thing, as some of those ramps are too close together.

The remaining exits on the beltway are 1, 4, (6-15), 18, and 20.

US-131 uses 15 numbers in a row in the Grand Rapids area:
74 - 84th St
75 - 76th St
76 - 68th St
77 - M-6
78 - 54th St
79 - 44th St
80 - 36th St
81 - 28th St (M-11)
82 - Burton St / Hynes Ave (NB)
83A - Hall St
83B - Franklin St
84A - Wealthy St
84B (NB only) - Downtown Grand Rapids
85A (SB only) - Market St
85B - Pearl St
86 - I-196
87 - Leonard St
88 - Ann St
89 - I-96

It was "only" 13 in a row before M-6 opened. As part of the M-6 project, the 68th and 76th St exits were renumbered to match closer to the mile markers (originally, 68th St was Exit 77 and 76th St was Exit 76)

M-39 uses exit 1-16 for the entire length of the Southfield freeway (16 miles).

I-94 through Minneapolis and St. Paul into the eastern suburbs has every number 233-251.

While I'm not the OP, I would say that anything that's closer than one per mile also disqualifies it; the idea is that the exits are both mile-based and sequential.

So if I'm understanding correctly, an A-B situation would count if it's a cloverleaf, but not two diamonds in quick succession?

Yes.

Exits 1-12, then 13 is missing, and resumes at 14. It's not for superstitious reasons, it's just that the Golden Glades Interchange is massive.

I-95 in PA: Exits 1 through 10

I-93 in MA: Exits 1 through 12

The above-two were unchanged when converted (very recent for I-93) from sequential to mile-marker based.

Add 295 (ME) exits 1-11 to the "unchanged" list.

One mile short and there's Exit 4C, but I believe I-890 in NY is technically distance-based with exits that go 1-9.

If I ignore this qualification to the OP, then northbound I-35 uses 29 sequential numbers (150 to 178) in Texas–but not all in one county.  The last four are outside Bexar County.  So that would leave 25 within one county.

I-81 in MD almost pulls it off...has everything between 1 & 10 with the lone exception of 3.

Plus 4C is essentially in the same interchange as 4 and 4B (4A/4B was merged into one ramp a few years ago).
