Quote from: kphoger on June 16, 2025, 09:12:37 AMI'd actually be more interested to see "longest" defined as "number of exits in a row" rather than "miles".
My longest stretch of 17 was undone by the addition of a couple of new exits. Along the same stretch, I've also used the SB Goreville weigh station and the both Rend Lake rest areas, but not the Post Oak rest area.

So...7.
From the stretch in my thread you're referencing, 63 consecutive exits on eastbound I-70 from Exit 171 (US6/US24) to Exit 295 (BL70 - Watkins).
Mine is probably the same stretch as in the other thread, between (but not including) I-25 CO exits 221 and 293.
Exit 223: 120th Avenue
Exit 225: 136th Ave
Exit 226: 144th Ave
Exit 228: E-470
Exit 229: CO 7
Exit 232: Erie Pkwy
Exit 235: CO 52
Exit 240: CO 119
Exit 243: CO 66
Exit 245: CR 34
Exit 250: CO 56
Exit 252: CO 60 East
Exit 254: To CO 60 West
Exit 255: CO 402
Exit 257: US 34
Exit 259: Crossroads Blvd
Exit 262: CO 392
Exit 265: Harmony Rd
Exit 268: Prospect Rd
Exit 269A: CO 14 EB
Exit 269B: CO 14 WB
Exit 271: Mountain Vista Dr
Exit 278: CO 1
Exit 281: Owl Canyon Rd
Exit 288: Buckeye Rd
So 25 exits.
Looks like 150 exits along my stretch from Logan Airport to the Ohio Turnpike on I-90. Quick and dirty. Probably off by a couple.
100 exits, from the end of I-95 in Miami, north to Palm Coast Parkway. Easy enough to do if you lived in America's Cul-de-Sac.
34 exits on I-65 between TN 129 and Daniel Payne Drive in Birmingham might be next, a few exit gaps might shoot that one up close to the previous mark.
I've been on every entrance and exit ramp along CA 99 from Wheeler Ridge to Exit 200 for Sultran Drive/Liberty Avenue north of Atwater. I've never bothered to count how many exits that is.
I count 31 exits along I-84 (East) between I-81 in Scranton and Exit 69 in NY (which I can't ever recall using).
My answer depends on if restrict it to freeway or if you allow expressways as well. I have been on 14 straight exits on TX 288 from the TX 332 interchange in north Freeport to FM 1462 in Rosharon, but part of that route is expressway. If you exclude the expressway portion, my number drops to 13 (or if you exclude this stub (https://maps.app.goo.gl/81EAVojH2qFCkXnbA), 7).
For US highways, I have been on 7 exits of US 75 between I-44 and 121st Street in Tulsa, OK (soon to be 9 once the 141st interchange opens). For interstates, my answer is also 7, as I have been on exits 12B through 18 on I-40 in Memphis, TN.
Honestly, living in Texas, with its myriad of slip ramps and redundant exits in rural areas, makes this exercise difficult.
66 exits between exit 610 on I-20 west of Marshall to exit 138 in Louisiana in Rayville at US 425
2nd Longest: 57 exits on I-49 between I-10 and I-20. If I'm allowed to bridge the gap, then 62 exits total up to exit 221.

I have 17 in a row on I-95 between east Baltimore (I-895) and just south of Wilmington (I-495).
VA I-264:
I-664 / I-64 interchange (unnumbered)
2: Greenwood Dr
3: Victory Blvd
4: Portsmouth Blvd
5: US-17 Frederick Blvd
6: VA-164 MLK Freeway
7: Effingham Ave
8: I-464
9: St Paul's Blvd / Waterside Dr
10: Tidewater Dr
11: Campostella Rd
12: Ballentine Blvd
13: US-13 Military Hwy
14: I-64
15: Newtown Rd
16: Witchduck Rd
17: VA-225 Independence Blvd
18: Rosemont Rd
19: Lynnhaven Pkwy
19C: London Bridge Rd
20: US-58 Va Beach Blvd
21: First Colonial Rd
22: Birdneck Rd
That's off the top of my head right now, so 23 exits.
FYI, I don't plan to maintain this list regularly. Feel free to, anyone else, if you like.

I hope there's suitable historical marker near this exit which explains this road's name...it seems to conjure up a spell gone wrong on a very rainy day.

Looks like it's 44 consecutive exits, same stretch as my longest distance, I-90 from Thruway Exit 36 to Mass Pike Exit 94.
Looks like my longest is 47 on I-65 in KY/IN from KY 44 to MLK St
Others at 30+:
35 on I-65 in IN from 38th St to I-90
30 on I-80 from I-294 to OH 49
30 on I-465 (all of them)
I'm missing three exits in Indy that would join my two longest and make mine 85.

I'm actually not sure anymore, but it's probably I-35 here in Kansas. 14 exits.
I'm not counting the Bazaar cattle pens, because they shouldn't count as an exit.
Funny enough, this was only possible because I recently took the wrong exit from KTA to Wichita; otherwise, I'd never have used Exit #53B. I'd used the K-96 portion of the double-trumpet-like-thing-y a few times, but not the I-35 portion till then.

Here's an article regarding the history of name:
QuoteIf you've driven around Virginia Beach, you've probably seen or heard the word "Witchduck" so often, you probably don't think about its origins.
You know Witchduck as an exit, a road, or maybe even a neighborhood. But if you go back to the late 1600s, there's a much darker meaning to the name.
It was the era of the Salem witch trials, and one local woman became known as "The Witch of Pungo." Although, she certainly didn't deserve the title.
Grace Sherwood was an unconventional woman living in Pungo at the time. Because of her good looks and knack for farming, people around town blamed her for bad weather and their dying crops and animals. She was called a witch and forced into a trial with an impossible outcome.
With her thumbs tied to her toes, she was "ducked" into the Lynnhaven River. If she was able to escape, they'd call it witchcraft. If she drowned. she would be proven innocent.
Sherwood chose to save herself and spent nearly eight years in jail, before returning to her sons and living a long life. She died at the age of 80 at her farm in Pungo.
Today, a bronze statue of Sherwood stands at the corner of Independence Boulevard and North Witchduck Road.
In 2006, 300 years after her trial, she was exonerated by then-Governor Tim Kaine.
Legend has it, every year on the anniversary of Sherwood's trial, people reportedly see a moving light -- believed to be her spirit -- over the place where she was thrown into the water in Witchduck Bay.

I'll get my largest scales.
For me, it's 66 on the Thruway. If people don't want to count the Thruway for whatever reason, 63 on I-90. I-87 comes very close - 62 on I-87 (63 if this lone on ramp (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0555036,-73.7646748,16.96z?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcyMC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) counts).

Just to be safe, I docked 0.1 off your score.
On one highway? All 29 exits on I-490, assuming neither terminus counts.
Even the ~150 mile stretch of the Thruway where I've clinched every exit only gets me to 22 exits.

I counted 157 when I looked at it today, though that's subject to interpretation what counts as an "interchange" around Cleveland. It also counts I-80 and OH 2 as separate, as well as both Logan Airport and MA 1A.
