Potentially fun topic: What exits have you got off at where the wares/offerings at said exit made you second-guess your decision to get off there?
And mods, if this is the wrong place for this, feel free to move it where it is appropriate
Sadly, basically every exit on NY 104 in Irondequoit has become a candidate for this thread. It didn't used to be that way 15-20 years ago, but now Webster is what Irondequoit once was (minus a few lanes on Ridge Rd) and it's sad to think what Irondequoit has become.
Breezewood is crapland now.
The southbound approach of I-95 to the George Washington Bridge has always had janky ramps.
There's also this one over I-91:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/gR6cZtAzzimnjV739 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/gR6cZtAzzimnjV739)
Probably Falls Road (MD 25) on I-83 north in Baltimore.
I-15/Sahara Ave. is pretty gross, though I've only gotten on there, not off. I-15/Charleston Blvd. is probably worse, but I've only been through there on Charleston.
There are plenty of middle-of-nowhere exits in the rural Midwest that have one or maybe two operating businesses and some abandoned stuff, and if you get off there you're gambling on that one business not sucking. Exit 193 on I-65 in Indiana (https://maps.app.goo.gl/9ftPUUb36qDA1ihZ7) is a good example that I've used; one run-down gas station, an abandoned restaurant, an industrial yard, and absolutely nothing else.
About every exit off the Dan Ryan and Eisenhower outside the Loop would qualify, seeing that they lead to Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods.
I got off ON 410 exit 13 for a delivery in Brampton. On the offramp, the very first thing I see is a single mother begging for money. Little did I know that Brampton has a bit of a reputation.
Exit 48 on I-84 in Connecticut for Asylum Ave. It looked very dead when I used it one time. Gave me an excuse to never go back to Hartford.

That's an unusual thing to see? My neck of the woods its usually veterans/fake veterans with signs mostly boiled down to "gobbless brother". There was a really classy woman that used to go between two large shopping malls in Burlington MA and Nashua NH, both off US 3, with her cup of ice coffee hanging in the cleavage of her tank top who then walked over to a brand new car after begging for money.

I've lived in either a literal village or a smaller city all my life, so it was a first. And it was wild that this was my first experience with Brampton.

Going into Philly my entire life, it's just part of driving in the city. I have no issues with them. I dislike more the kids with squeegees since you have to wave them off, otherwise they'll wet your windshield and sit there waiting for their dollar.
I-84 Exit 36 (Slater Rd) in New Britain, CT. A fancy trumpet interchange (is even a left exit going eastbound) that leads to one convenience store, a bank processing center, and a mostly residential area (some of it not too savory). The processing center used to be a plaza with a Bradlees and later Walmart, but it was torn down about 25 years ago when Walmart moved across town to replace a vacant Caldor (which later closed itself).

Exit 48 is how most people who work at The Hartford and Aetna reach their offices.

In metro Manila, the "guy with towel and water to wipe your window when you don't ask" thing is surprisingly common - even just saw examples of it earlier today in Manila itself (at Quirino/Osmena intersection underneath Skyway). Basically, they seem to target interchanges/intersections with severe traffic congestion and very little room to go elsewhere, i.e my past experiences dealing with that on the offramps of the Buendia Flyover section of Osmena Highway/SLEX in Makati. I do remember having to actually give some pesos to one at Roxas/EDSA in Pasay on my previous trip to the Philippines.
That being said, I wouldn't say Buendia/Skyway is "ratty". I would nominate the Balintawak Cloverleaf in Quezon City and the nearby Camachile Flyover - the actual ramps on the cloverleaf itself has been given way too many access points to market stalls and even a Super 8 Warehouse store, despite the fact that a limited access toll freeway (NLEX) ends at the junction and feeds into southbound Skyway. It's telling that the Wikipedia article on the 2010s-era cloverleaf at NLEX Connector (NLEX Harbor Link) and NLEX in Valenzuela includes a compliment for the junction being noticeably larger than Balintawak; the newer interchange still has a mediocre amount of weaving induced by its design!

In terms of pure function (and not the vibe of area safety/cleanliness), the Magallanes Interchange between SLEX and EDSA in Makati originally involved an odd ramp-merge design that linked the ramp from EDSA southbound to SLEX southbound with the ramp from SLEX (Osmena) southbound to EDSA northbound. The latter ramp seems to have been closed the last few years specifically to address this problem, though possibly adding to the load of the Buendia Flyover ramp complex a mile north.
Google has even made the step of removing the southbound SLEX to EDSA northbound ramp from the mapping service even though it physically still exists:

Those highways go through a lot of neighborhoods, so they can't all be the most dangerous (and some aren't bad at all). Though the 35th Street exit on the Dan Ryan leads to some of the trashiest baseball in the country.
Just sighted another example today, this time at SLEX and Sales Road in Taguig near Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
A simple parclo interchange with awkward connections to a frontage road...and a presently inactive PNR double-track (pending the North South Commuter Railway project to be completed in the next few years) that has an at-grade crossing with one of the loop ramps!!!!
The temporarily abandoned tracks have started to attract a few homeless folks looking for shelter beneath the Sales Road underpass.

That does seem to be pretty common in the Midwest/West, but what's particularly interesting about this example is that it's right on I-65 halfway between Chicago and Indy. Seems like
some sort of gas station or travel stop could make a go there with that much traffic passing by.

Just about anything south of 35th Street you are risking it getting off at any of those exits.

Pfft. Risking what?
Last couple of times I've visited Chicago (most recent last year), I spent most of my time south of 35th. There is risk and then there's exaggerated perception of risk from watching too much bad news.

The only exits where I'd be hesitant are between 59th and 71st. That's where the highest concentration of crime on the south side is.
Where do I start?
The Saint Louis area has TONS of these, it's hard to narrow it down.
Top 5
5: I-270 Exit 34 (Riverview): For the longest time this exit was deader than an abandoned cemetery. The exit seemed more of the North St. Louis Dump than an exit.
4: I-270 Exit 31 (MO 367/Lewis & Clark Blvd): Before the upgrades to the interchange and 367, the cloverleaf looked dumpy and old. The BGS's on 270 were faded for many years.
3: I-44 Exit 269 (Beaumont- Antire Road) When I was in scouts, we'd take this exit to get to the reservation. Back then the exit was quiet and trashy, I don't know if its gotten livelier.
2: I-55 Exit 178 (Herculaneum): This was an oft-used exit when I'd be driving back from Bonne Terre. A decade ago, it was still a simple diamond with a car dealership, fireworks stand, and the QT/Wendy's. You could always tell where the truckers had to swing wide because they had to go around somebody.
1: I-70 Exit 245A (Shreve Ave): As they say on nautical charts- "Local Knowledge Required." If you don't know your way around St. Louis, this exit will send you into the maze of one way streets that is the Penrose Neighborhood.
The E Street exit from the freeway section of northbound Golden State Boulevard (former US 99) in downtown Fresno usually is full of garbage or homeless camps. The Monterey Street Overhead was apparently even worse before it was torn down this past decade.

Do those homeless band together to be a larger concern?

Can't say they really bother me. All the same, they probably shouldn't be camping on limited access right of away. Traffic tends to go way over the speed limit on Golden State and through the E Street exit.
Taking the question a little too literally, how about Exit 7 on I-295 in Rhode Island. The signs read "Rhode Island Resource Recovery Industrial Park"... it's an exit for the Johnston Landfill, along with a bunch of junkyards and other heavy industry.

My theory is that these ramps were in higher demand before Katrina. Then Katrina happened, and debris littered the area and Six Flags New Orleans was destroyed. Heightened fear of repeated flooding events killed any future housing or commercial development, but LADOT just hasn't gotten around to removing the exit (there's another diamond interchange further north that has been removed).

The only catch is that you have actually used the exit. Google Maps is currently showing that the overpass of I-10 and the southbound on-ramp are closed, and the connector road to Michoud Blvd
is barely drivable (https://maps.app.goo.gl/8dKwR3qWFtXdkxy59) as of Feb 2023 Street View. So it seems very likely that the off-ramp is closed too, and it would be pretty sketchy to navigate even if it was open. But if anyone here
has used this exit post-Katrina, they definitely win the thread.

Westbound has a "RAMP CLOSED AHEAD" sign (https://maps.app.goo.gl/qern2KvRtiNE6o6M6) and barriers starting in 1/2023, but in the latest shot (10/2023) the barriers are gone and there's only two lone cones (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ro55QsnqyvjQXxUg7) stopping you from exiting. However the eastbound ramp (https://maps.app.goo.gl/1SjLvZuZ3J1EJuxDA) is open even though GSV drives through a barricade (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bScUxDmUV3dBRZmT8) to re-enter.
I-75 Exit 44 to Dearborn Street in Detroit had a nice assortment of ruins and trash this week.

That exit can also be quite aromatic depending on wind direction, since the Detroit sewage treatment plant is just to the SE of the exit.

Soutbound offramp is pretty bad. Hope the man in the pic is ok.

I still didn't see the person in question.

Sadly you can't even tell it's a person unless you zoom in or pan down the ramp a ways.
