This thread should be a showcase of all those oddball, isolated interchanges that don't involve freeways or expressways*. In many cases, the traffic levels no longer make an interchange necessary for one reason or another.
There's a whole class of situations involving grade separation due to geographic convenience – these are so numerous that I'd like to exclude them from this thread. I want to focus on situations where a simple at-grade intersection would have been easier.
So here are the examples that come to my mind:
US 33, OH 161, OH 257 (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=&ll=40.100085,-83.109856&spn=0.011883,0.021865&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) – Just one ramp, but enough for ODOT to consider it an interchange. Also, some left turns are prohibited; Dale Dr is the signed alternate, making it unofficially a second ramp.
US 40, US 42 (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=&ll=39.937925,-83.398397&spn=0.011912,0.021865&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) – Clearly the need for this one went away when I-70 opened, but US 42 is getting so busy these days, the grade separation here is nice to have. Note, this was reconfigured a bit in 2010—2012.
M-1, M-102 (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=&ll=42.446483,-83.124619&spn=0.022927,0.043731&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6) – No longer necessary due to population decline, but still better to have it than to demolish it.
*Freeway: a highway designed for high speed, with no at-grade intersections, traffic lights, or access to/from adjacent properties. Expressway: a highway designed for high speed, with severely limited or no access to/from adjacent properties, but at-grade intersections and/or traffic lights may exist. Conventional road: any other roadway.
I can think of two right off the bat.
US 60 and MO 59 (http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=&ll=42.446483,-83.124619&spn=0.022927,0.043731&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6) Replaced due to safety issues.
Zora Avenue and Main Street interchange (http://joplinmo.org/article.cfm?AID=510) New interchange to be built. in Joplin.
Grand and Forrest park road. (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38%C2%B037'59.95%22+N+90%C2%B014'03.16%22+W&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x87d8b4bd30736ea9:0x7b125b5b9e963241,%2B38%C2%B0+38'+1.15%22,+-90%C2%B0+14'+3.88%22&gl=us&ei=7AmSTp-LHY73sQL7vYWmAQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQ8gEwAA)

US 1 and Fl 100 in Bunnell, FL where it is both an interchange and at grade facility. Fl 100 crosses over US 1 on a bridge from the west. and then loops around to meet it at grade from the east side. To make a right turn onto US 1 south (or to continue on FL 100) you have to make a left turn and cross traffic you just missed.
The FEC Railway does have a lot to do with it as the overpass was made to bypass the trains, but a down ramp could have been made from the elevated roadway to the surface US 1 for movement in this direction. The bridge was just replaced a few years ago and FDOT could have made this modification when this project occurred.

Bullshit. It is still necessary due to the design of both Woodward and Eight Mile. As is Telegraph and Eight Mile, Michigan and Telegraph, and a few others out there.
People seem to forget Metro Detroit is the 12th largest metropolitan area in the country. Detroit proper may have lost a lot of people, but the area as a whole was stable, and a lot of them use 8 Mile and Woodward.
I know there was some local discussion about possibly removing that interchange a few years ago. The issue may have been more about misuse by the homeless than traffic efficiency, however.
Oregon has quite a few interchanges between regular roads:
- US 26 at US 101, Cannon Beach Jct;
- OR 18 at US 101, Otis;
- OR 42 at US 101, near Coos Bay;
- unsigned OR 542 at OR 42, Myrtle Point;
- OR 47 at US 26, near Banks;
- OR 47 at OR 6, Banks;
- OR 6 at US 26, also near Banks;
- US 30 at the Wauna paper mill, near Westport;
- OR 35 at US 26, near Gov't Camp;
- OR 35 has an interchange for the road to Mt Hood Meadows ski resort;
- OR 58 at US 97, near Gilchrist;
- OR 422 at US 97, Chiloquin;
- OR 204 at OR 11, Weston.
I'm sure I've left some out. This list would've also included the two Sunriver exits on US 97 except 97 has recently been upgraded to limited access expressway through here.
Two that I could come up with around here:
95th & Harlem (US 12/20 & IL 43), although the close proximity of I 294 may have something to do with that one
Mannheim & North (US 12/45 & IL 64), I have no idea why this one is set up this way
Kentucky has a few. Coming immediately to mind is KY 321 (formerly US 23/US 460) and KY 1428 (which, ironically enough, was the first routing of US 23 in the area) south of Paintsville. 321 crosses 1428 and a two-lane connector route links the two.
http://g.co/maps/auv77
Chicago Drive and 28th Street in Grandville are grade-separated. It's not a full interchange because there is only a ramp from eastbound Chicago Drive to eastbound 28th Street and the remaining movements are accomplished using the 28th Street Cutoff.
Kansas has a few examples. Excluding ones associated with the Kansas model of "Super Two" progressive corridor development, we are left with:
* US 36 and US 81 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Belleville,+KS&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Belleville,+Republic,+Kansas&ll=39.812871,-97.643266&spn=0.008505,0.01929&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) in Belleville
* US 36 and US 75 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Belleville,+KS&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Belleville,+Republic,+Kansas&ll=39.840704,-95.735765&spn=0.017135,0.038581&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6) in Holton
* US 54, US 400, and US 77 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Belleville,+KS&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Belleville,+Republic,+Kansas&ll=37.675974,-96.847057&spn=0.017663,0.038581&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6) in Augusta
* US 75 and US 166 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Belleville,+KS&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Belleville,+Republic,+Kansas&ll=37.066889,-95.926394&spn=0.008903,0.01929&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) just north of Caney
* US 166 and US 169 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Belleville,+KS&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Belleville,+Republic,+Kansas&ll=37.044808,-95.582739&spn=0.004453,0.009645&t=m&z=17&vpsrc=6) just east of Coffeyville, en route to the municipal airport (currently under construction; neither Google mapping nor StreetView shows the as-constructed configuration yet)
* US 400 and US 59 (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Belleville,+KS&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Belleville,+Republic,+Kansas&ll=37.366167,-95.258353&spn=0.008868,0.01929&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) near Parsons
There are additional examples which are not listed. Grade-separated junctions of conventional-road state highways are, frankly, not uncommon in Kansas. The problem with identifying them is not finding them so much as it is deciding whether they exist independently of a length that has now, or is planned to have at some point in the future, comprehensive grade separation.
For instance, the first two examples I listed above are both on US 36, but in actuality US 36 has many more additional grade separations east of the US 75 corridor. The others not listed are part of a Super Two length of US 36 which runs between Missouri I-229 and ends just past US 159 in Hiawatha. US 54-400/US 77 near Augusta is frankly a marginal case; further west, in Wichita, US 54-400 becomes the Kellogg Avenue freeway, for which eastward expansion is planned but not necessarily all the way to Augusta. US 75/US 166 is another marginal case because US 75 is Super Two nearly all the way from Topeka south to Independence; counting US 75/US 166 as an isolated grade separation implicitly assumes that no plans exist to upgrade US 75 south of Independence. Similarly, US 169 is another well-known Super Two corridor between Kansas City and Chanute and inclusion of the US 166/US 169 interchange east of Coffeyville implicitly assumes that US 169 won't become a high-type corridor south of Chanute through Cherryvale. (In actuality US 169 poses other headaches because it does not maintain Super Two standard all the way from Kansas City to Chanute. There are plenty of at-grade intersections with state highways in the vicinity of Garnett, while grade separation is provided extensively in the vicinities of Iola and Chanute.) On the other hand, the grade separations on the K-4 Oakland Expressway in east Topeka are not listed since they are obviously part of a Super Two corridor with comprehensive grade separation, designed for easy upgradability to full freeway.
Put simply, it is hard to formulate criteria which can be rigorously applied and depending on the criteria you choose, you can end up with a very short or very long list.
Edit: US 400 in western Kansas also has grade-separated intersections, including the US 54/US 400 split (former K-154 eastern terminus) near Mullinville. US 400 in western Kansas is due for upgrades, but there is genuine uncertainty as to the projected ultimate configuration and in fact there is a planning effort underway to make a choice among the options of freeway (unlikely), upgradable expressway (marginally likely), or plain expressway (fractionally more likely given the improbability that Congress will agree to maintain level funding for highways). So does, e.g., US 54/US 400 near Mullinville count as an isolated grade separation, or as part of a future freeway?
There is one intersting one in Iowa at US 34 and US 71 both 2 lanes in Western Iowa.
In Illinois US 50 has a couple but that section was originally planned as an expressway or freeway and in fact has the ROW
There are several non interstate in Metro Chicago on IL 83 and Lake -Cook for example. All are very needed. For some reason IDOT demolished an interchange as US 30 and 34 near Aurora which is very busy.

Don't forget LaGrange and Archer (US-12/20/45 & IL-171). This is also due to close proximity to I-294. Also, this is the only way to get from NB 294 to NB I-55.
Off the top of my head, US-6 and IL-251 come to a cloverleaf (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=La+Salle,+IL&hl=en&ll=41.327036,-89.119484&spn=0.013036,0.01929&sll=41.751993,-87.863181&sspn=0.012951,0.027466&vpsrc=6&hnear=LaSalle,+Illinois&t=m&z=16) in the middle of La Salle, IL
In Cedar Rapids, IA (or Marion or Hiawatha, don't really know which), the IA-100/I-380 volleyball ties in with Collins Rd's interchange with Center Point Rd (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cedar+rapids+ia&ll=42.027938,-91.66872&spn=0.012895,0.01929&hnear=Cedar+Rapids,+Linn,+Iowa&gl=us&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6). This is debatable, though, because Collins is a quasi-freeway from I-380 west until it ends at Edgewood Ave (2 lanes each direction, no intersections, jersey barrier in the middle).

You mean to say US-45 and Lake-Cook (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cedar+rapids+ia&ll=42.151951,-87.934742&spn=0.025739,0.054932&hnear=Cedar+Rapids,+Linn,+Iowa&gl=us&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6), right?
One more: Dempster (US-14) & Milwaukee (IL-21) (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cedar+rapids+ia&ll=42.039955,-87.826166&spn=0.003223,0.006866&hnear=Cedar+Rapids,+Linn,+Iowa&gl=us&t=m&z=18&vpsrc=6) in the NW suburbs of Chicago is along the same lines of the aforementioned Woodward and 8 Mile.
Yes Lake-Cook and US 45
I took US 34 to I-35 in Iowa many years ago and recall one at US 65 but it is not on current maps. I know I am not remembering the US 71. I have not been on 34 that far west

US59 in southwest Iowa has one with US34. Downtown Steubenville, Ohio has a SB off ramp for OH43 going to Market Street, while Adams Street NB crosses over everything to OH43 NB. Also, OH43 and Old US22 have an odd grade separation by the middle school.
Texas has a ton of these. US83 has them at US62 in Guthrie, TX70, amongst others. There's another further south with a state route near Eden that US83 exits, rather than is the new mainline.

There isn't an interchange at US 34 and 65, but there is one at US 34 and IA 14 in Chariton. There is also a full interchange at US 34 and US 71.
This set of ramps between Van Dorn Street and Metro Road can be found in Alexandria, Virginia. (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.799718,-77.132317&spn=0.006396,0.016512&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6) I use the ramps just about every day going to and from the subway station. While in one sense this is a "geographic convenience" spot (Van Dorn goes up onto a bridge to cross over the railroad tracks, making a conventional intersection difficult), I've listed it here because arguably the ramps weren't really necessary at all because people could just use Eisenhower Avenue to make the same movements, and indeed many people do. (I sometimes do as well if I hit the light on northbound Van Dorn as it turns red.)
Or how about a situation where there used to be two intersections controlled by traffic lights that were recently upgraded to become partial interchanges? (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.798058,-77.080759&spn=0.003198,0.008256&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6) The traffic lights at the corners of Telegraph and Kings Highway, and Telegraph and Huntington, are still there, but they control far fewer movements than they did before. This reconstruction is part of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge project and has been an improvement, though some people have been resisting the new traffic patterns. (The satellite image is somewhat out-of-date, as another ramp has opened within the past year.) No doubt it would have been "easier" (and certainly it would have been cheaper) to leave it as it was, but since they're rebuilding the Beltway anyway, it was a good opportunity to do something about the traffic lights through there.
Also there is this one in the City of Alexandria. (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.811331,-77.114882&spn=0.006395,0.016512&t=m&z=17&vpsrc=6) The map is a little unhelpful here. You see Ben Brenman Park and the neighborhood just west of it (Cameron Station)? All that used to be a Defense Logistics Agency facility called Cameron Station. It ceased operations as a military base in 1995 and was redeveloped into a residential area after environmental remediation. The ramps are utterly unnecessary today. I don't remember whether they were ever really necessary at all or whether a simple traffic light would have done the job, but it certainly appears that a conventional intersection would have been sufficient. I just don't remember it well enough–I know I was on the base there a couple of times when I was a very little kid and my mom went to the commissary to buy groceries, but that was a REALLY long time ago and I had to have been a REALLY little kid because my father got out of the Army when I was two years old. All I remember is that my mom said she hated going to the commissary because it was crowded and dirty but the prices were so much better than the regular stores that she couldn't not go.

It seems many of these type of interchanged involve railroad tracks ( or abandoned tracks)
The Jacksonville Transportation Authority has some interchanges along Beach Blvd( US 90/SR 212) and Atlantic Blvd (SR 10) at some of the major intersections between the city and the beaches. Those roads are 6 lane urban arterial with lots of commuter traffic and businesses. There are plans for more grade separations planned
El Camino Real/Coleman Rd/De La Cruz Blvd (http://www.google.com/maps?ll=37.357162,-121.941247&spn=0.008767,0.013797&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) in Santa Clara, CA near Santa Clara University. While El Camino Real is CA-82, none of these roads are freeways or expressways. El Camino Real and De La Cruz are a 6-lane boulevards while Coleman is a 4-lane road.

There are several places in Nebraska that have a similar setup, particularly along US 30 which parallels the UP railroad tracks. For instance, at the jct. of US 283 and US 30 in Lexington, US 283 has a bridge over US 30(the bridge is part of the viaduct over the railroad tracks)-then US 283 turns 1 block east and then 2 blocks south to meet US 30 at grade. This is also the northern terminus of US 283, which means that US 283 is actually facing south at its northern terminus.
Another similar setup above occurs in Kinsley, KS where US 56 meets US 50 from the northeast-US 56 crosses under US 50, then continues on for about 1/2 mile and then meets US 50 on the south side of the road.

Interesting in the fact that both ramps are two-lane roads similar in width to the state highways they serve.

(http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38%C2%B037'59.95%22+N+90%C2%B014'03.16%22+W&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x87d8b4bd30736ea9:0x7b125b5b9e963241,%2B38%C2%B0+38'+1.15%22,+-90%C2%B0+14'+3.88%22&gl=us&ei=7AmSTp-LHY73sQL7vYWmAQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQ8gEwAA)
I probably would not count this one since Forest Park Boulevard feeds into I-64 east of this interchange. St. Louis City is planning on doing something here that could include replacing this interchange with an at-grade however.
Quote Big Bend road (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=38%C2%B036'15.38%22+N++90%C2%B019'30.23%22+W&gs_upl=1736l1736l0l2695l1l1l0l0l0l0l132l132l0.1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1185&bih=589&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x87d8ca5bb9c7507f:0xd01a2e6f4f8df8c2,%2B38%C2%B0+36'+15.15%22,+-90%C2%B0+19'+29.57%22&gl=us&ei=qQqSToLxI4jgsQLBu9y6AQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQ8gEwAA) Not sure this one counts.
I wouldn't count this one since Big Bend is mainly depressed there to get under the UP tracks; if the tracks were not that (or had much lighter traffic), Big Bend would be at grade there. The SB movements are also signalized here.
More for Missouri* Ashby Road at Midland - Could be questionable since I recall hearing that Midland was built on an old streetcar line
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.704422,-90.388877&spn=0.003537,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.704422,-90.388877&spn=0.003537,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6)
* US 61-67-50 at MO 366 - the old, tight cloverleaf had been switched to a diamond, I think back when the bridge was replaced in the 1980's(?). Nowdays MoDOT probably would have removed the bridge and put in a poorly functioning at grade intersection.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.555343,-90.406537&spn=0.003545,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.555343,-90.406537&spn=0.003545,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6)
* US 67 at Taylor Road - defective due to overloading from channeling I-270 movements through this interchange.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.781337,-90.354846&spn=0.007067,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.781337,-90.354846&spn=0.007067,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6)
* Hanley Road at Eager Road in Richmond Heights - Not due to grade issues since Eager used to have an at-grade intersection with Hanley
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.628941,-90.333812&spn=0.003541,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.628941,-90.333812&spn=0.003541,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6)
* MO 340 at Couer de Ville Drive - Added when the I-270 interchange was converted to a SPUI; used to be at grade.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.672729,-90.44618&spn=0.007078,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.672729,-90.44618&spn=0.007078,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6)
* MO 94 at I-70 north and south outer roads - Added when the I-70 interchange was converted into a SPUI; used to be at grade.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.776519,-90.507699&spn=0.007068,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.776519,-90.507699&spn=0.007068,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6)
Questionable ones* MO 367 at Chambers Road - MO 367 is still kind of an expressway here; south of this interchange is where the expressway characteristics fade:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.75113,-90.235959&spn=0.00707,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.75113,-90.235959&spn=0.00707,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6)
* River des Peres Boulevard at MO 366 - Questionable due to the parkway nature of River des Peres Boulevard, but it is the only one on that corridor.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.5862,-90.314103&spn=0.005011,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.5862,-90.314103&spn=0.005011,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6)
* US 67 at Monsanto, MO 340, Dorsett/Midland - I was going to say these were questionable due to the semi-expressway (although speedtrap) nature of US 67 as an early bypass for St. Louis, but looking through Historic Aerials.com, it appears some of these were added after I-270 would have been opened or well under construction. I'm not counting the US 67/Rte D interchange due to the expressway nature of Rte D west of the interchange.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.67164,-90.396538&spn=0.014156,0.041199&t=k&z=16&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.67164,-90.396538&spn=0.014156,0.041199&t=k&z=16&vpsrc=6)

* US 67 at MO 180 and Rte B - Again questionable due to the semi-expressway nature of US 67. The MO 180 interchange was once a super-tight cloverleaf, while the Rte B interchange was relocated due to the airport expansion. The prior Rte B interchange was also once a super-tight cloverleaf that had been converted to a diamond. Both of the cloverleafs predated I-70.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.738047,-90.397911&spn=0.003536,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.738047,-90.397911&spn=0.003536,0.0103&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6)

* MO 100 at Des Peres Road - Questionable due to the semi-expressway nature of MO 100 west of I-270.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.602752,-90.449452&spn=0.007085,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.602752,-90.449452&spn=0.007085,0.020599&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6)
Northland Dr (M-44) at West River Dr north of Grand Rapids has a loop ramp NB-WB while SB-EB traffic uses a side road. So basically, traffic can turn left off of West River Dr, but not off of Northland Dr. This may be questionable as the crossing is at-grade.
US 322 at PA 261 in Garnet Valley, PA (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.858125,-75.476396&spn=0.004818,0.009645&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6)
US 322 at PA 452 near Marcus Hook, PA (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.846191,-75.425262&spn=0.004819,0.009645&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6)
US 1 at PA 352 in Lima, PA (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.915287,-75.424184&spn=0.002407,0.004823&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6)
US 13/40 at US 202/DE 141 in New Castle, DE. (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.680414,-75.589596&spn=0.00483,0.009645&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6) US 202/DE 141 even has an exit number!
DE 100/141 at DE 52 in Greenville, DE (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=39.772683,-75.592096&spn=0.004824,0.009645&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6)
A few for Minnesota:
-One I came across the other day while driving: Pennsylvania Ave at Jackson St in St. Paul (http://g.co/maps/5jfjp)
-There are a few on Snelling Ave (MN 51) at County B2, Como Ave, Energy Park Dr, and Pierce Butler Route.
-Not a full interchange, but grade-separated anyway: County 81 at Lowry Ave/Wirth Pkwy (http://g.co/maps/7n8fq)
-Ayd Mill Road in St. Paul has pseudo-interchanges with a number of cross-streets (for example: http://g.co/maps/sqfbc)
In SoCal:
-La Cienega Boulevard and Slauson Avenue, although you could argue that La Cienega is functioning as an expressway at the point. It's the interchange for the "unconstructed" portions of CA-170 and CA-90.
-Hyperion Avenue and Waverly Avenue (Los Feliz)
-Wilshire Boulevard and Bonsall Avenue (West L.A.)
-Shoreline Drive and Golden Shore (Long Beach)
Plenty more, I'm sure.
Connecticut has only a few, and all of these are partial:
- CT 10 at CT 322, Southington (constructed in 1930s)
- CT 10 at US 6, Farmington (also 1930s)
- CT 82 at CT 32, Norwich (mid 1980s)
- US 6 at CT 12, Killingly (constructed c. 1958, removed c. 1996)
Route 35 (Sloat Boulevard) and Sunset Boulevard in San Francisco is a half-cloverleaf (the north half being covered by equivalent short at-grade intersections) -
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Yorba+%26+37th,+San+Francisco&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=52.77044,79.453125&vpsrc=0&hnear=37th+Ave+%26+Yorba+St,+San+Francisco,+California+94116&t=h&z=17
At Sunset Boulevard's north end in Golden Gate Park, there's a half-diamond with Lincoln Way:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=36th+%26+Lincoln,+San+Francisco&hl=en&sll=37.734811,-122.494463&sspn=0.006499,0.009699&vpsrc=0&hnear=Lincoln+Way+%26+36th+Ave,+San+Francisco,+California+94122&t=h&z=17
In Redwood City, Route 84 and Route 82 have a grade separation with ramps, though neither are expressways/freeways in the area:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Laurel+%26+El+Camino,+Redwood+City&hl=en&ll=37.476059,-122.221152&spn=0.006522,0.009699&sll=37.476306,-122.222117&sspn=0.006522,0.009699&vpsrc=0&hnear=El+Camino+Real+%26+Laurel+St,+Redwood+City,+San+Mateo,+California+94063&t=h&z=17
Quote from: 1995hoo
Also there is this one in the City of Alexandria. (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.811331,-77.114882&spn=0.006395,0.016512&t=m&z=17&vpsrc=6)
These ramps weren't built for the old Cameron Station base. What you're looking at here is the leftovers of the proposed Clermont Connector, which would've crossed Backlick Run and the railroad tracks to tie into Clermont Ave at Eisenhower.
Quote from: twinsfan87-There are a few on Snelling Ave (MN 51) at County B2, Como Ave, Energy Park Dr, and Pierce Butler Route.
In the mid 60s, Snelling Ave was proposed to be upgraded to a freeway from I-94 north to I-694. What you see here is what was built from that proposal.
Quote-Not a full interchange, but grade-separated anyway: County 81 at Lowry Ave/Wirth Pkwy (http://g.co/maps/7n8fq)
Similar deal as with Cedar...this was from an even older freeway proposal, the "Northwest Diagonal", which would have roughly run along County 81 and tie into downtown at the cancelled I-335.

....
Ah, thanks for that. I've always noted the peculiar end to Clermont right there and suspected that once upon a time an extension may have been proposed (just as I assume once upon a time it probably connected through where the bike trail opening in the soundwall now is–and I understand why residents there wouldn't want it restored). You know further down Eisenhower how Bluestone Road goes uphill and then ends? I always get this absurd mental image of Bo and Luke Duke using that road to jump the railroad tracks. From a selfish standpoint I kind of like the lack of connections to Eisenhower Avenue because I like to use that road as a shortcut (with relatively few red lights) to and from Old Town.
Either way, I suppose those ramps do ease access to the park, and I wouldn't much want to see another light thrown up right there, but they do seem unnecessary given that the road was never built. Tearing them down would probably cost more than just maintaining them, I guess (plus no doubt Cameron Station residents would oppose the demolition if it meant more traffic going through their neighborhood).
Here's a few from Southeast Michigan:
U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at Ecorse Road (former M-17), Taylor, a parclo interchange: http://g.co/maps/22a68 (http://g.co/maps/22a68)
U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at U.S. 12/Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, a squashed cloverleaf interchange: http://g.co/maps/4s8xy (http://g.co/maps/4s8xy)
U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at M-102/8 Mile Road, Detroit/Southfield city limit, another cloverleaf interchange: http://g.co/maps/m8679 (http://g.co/maps/m8679)
And if you count those with at-grade intersections...
U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at M-5/Grand River Avenue, Detroit (the ramp is named Short Street oddly enough): http://g.co/maps/m9w2d (http://g.co/maps/m9w2d)
U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at Plymouth Road (former M-14), Redford Township: http://g.co/maps/vq7cj (http://g.co/maps/vq7cj)
U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at M-153/Ford Road, Dearborn/Dearborn Heights city limit: http://g.co/maps/n5qay (http://g.co/maps/n5qay)
And there also used to be one on U.S. 24/Telegraph Road at Toledo Road (former U.S. 25) and West Road in Brownstown Township, but Toledo Road has now been realigned to end at a T intersection. Traces of the interchange can still be seen by the gaps between trees: http://g.co/maps/p2q4r (http://g.co/maps/p2q4r)
Here are a few more in Kansas, on conventional roads that appear unlikely to be upgraded to expressways or freeways:
US 40/Sixth Street, US 59/Iowa Street, and McDonald Drive in Lawrence:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Lawrence,+KS&hl=en&ll=38.973456,-95.260262&spn=0.004521,0.010568&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.683309,86.572266&vpsrc=6&hnear=Lawrence,+Douglas,+Kansas&t=k&z=17
(I still don't know what they were thinking when designing this one.)
US 56/Shawnee Mission Parkway/Hidden US 169 and Johnson Drive in Mission:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Mission,+KS&hl=en&ll=39.023943,-94.639235&spn=0.004518,0.010568&sll=39.027783,-94.655791&sspn=0.036139,0.084543&vpsrc=6&hnear=Mission,+Johnson,+Kansas&t=k&z=17
(This used to be a really interesting "pretzel" interchange, but Kansas tends to like to make things boring.)
US 50 and K-177 in Chase County:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Chase+County,+KS&hl=en&ll=38.400183,-96.55445&spn=0.004557,0.010568&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.683309,86.572266&vpsrc=6&hnear=Chase,+Kansas&t=k&z=17
(This might be be a grade-separated interchange because of the nearby railroad tracks. However, this design really irks me. Couldn't it have been a simple diamond or a diamond/partial cloverleaf?)
This one might not count:
Shawnee Mission Parkway and Merriam Drive in Merriam:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Overland+Park,+KS&hl=en&ll=39.015458,-94.696065&spn=0.004518,0.010568&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.683309,86.572266&vpsrc=6&hnear=Overland+Park,+Johnson,+Kansas&t=k&z=17
(One could argue that Shawnee Mission Parkway is an expressway west of I-35, although it has many at-grade intersections between this interchange and Lackman Road. I think this is a gray area.)
This one doesn't count, since it involves a transition from conventional road to expressway (and later to freeway), but it shows context for the other two US 56/Shawnee Mission Parkway examples:
US 56/US 69/Shawnee Mission Parkway/Hidden US 169 and Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Overland+Park,+KS&hl=en&ll=39.014991,-94.667902&spn=0.004518,0.010568&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.683309,86.572266&vpsrc=6&hnear=Overland+Park,+Johnson,+Kansas&t=k&z=17
(I think US 69/Metcalf Avenue is clearly an expressway north of US 56.)

Kentucky has a few. Coming immediately to mind is KY 321 (formerly US 23/US 460) and KY 1428 (which, ironically enough, was the first routing of US 23 in the area) south of Paintsville. 321 crosses 1428 and a two-lane connector route links the two.

I haven't been there since that was built. I never really understood the need for it, but I think it was done to keep traffic staying on KY 3 north from pulling across four lanes of traffic, so I guess it was justified for safety reasons.
FL 76 and FL 710 in Indiantown. The connector was the original routing for FL 710 before the high-rise bridge was built. http://g.co/maps/bqats
US 27 and FL 19 north of Clermont. SR 19 gets the easy way out on this one. http://g.co/maps/wyh3d
Of course, there's several within Disney World. http://g.co/maps/b59tr
US 17/92 and US 27 in Haines City http://g.co/maps/59vu5
US 27 and FL 60, plus FL 60 and 4th St (connecting to FL 17 and downtown) Lake Wales http://g.co/maps/22y5u
I probably should have listed this one before: Gallows Road and US-50 in Northern Virginia. (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.865609,-77.2276&spn=0.012781,0.033023&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) When I was a kid this was a simple crossroads with a traffic light and a strip mall on the northeast corner (the other three sides were all thickly-treed areas). Later they built two separate right-turn lanes for traffic heading from northbound Gallows to the Beltway, but it was still a traffic problem and eventually they made it into a SPUI.
US-50 looks like a freeway there, and that's why I originally didn't list it, but upon reflection the "freeway" look is more out of geographical convenience. Notice the Beltway interchange just to the east. That used to be a conventional cloverleaf until Fairview Park Drive was constructed just east of there. Because of its proximity to the Beltway there's another interchange there, sort of a hybrid design, with the result being that the tangle of ramps looks a bit like something you'd see in New Jersey (I must admit it all works pretty well, though).
Tennessee has at least two that stick out in my mind along TN 100, which were most likely built in the 50's:
* TN 18 and TN 100 near Chickasaw State Park, which they will probably have to re-do the ramps on this one to give TN 18 the priority since it will be widened in the coming years. TN 100 doesn't see a great deal of traffic here. From this interchange, 18 runs north to Jackson, and south to Bolivar, Holly Springs, MS, and Oxford, MS (as MS 7). Hence it's the best way for most Tennesseans to get to Ole Miss. http://g.co/maps/56dn8
* TN 96 and TN 100 in Fairview. Yes, TN 100 widens to four lanes through this one, but it's two lanes on either end so I believe it counts. Actually they are planning to widen all of TN 100 through Fairview in the coming years as well. http://g.co/maps/h6yms

Shawnee Mission Parkway (from US 69 to the shopping center) and McDonald Drive both appear to be expressways, by my understanding and application of the term.
Actually, you're right about US 56/Shawnee Mission Parkway. I had forgotten that there are no undivided sections between US 69/Metcalf Avenue and Johnson Drive. As for McDonald Drive, scroll north on that satellite image!

Expressways (and freeways) don't need to be divided.
In Texas, there are two former interchanges that I can think of that have been removed due to decreased traffic volume.
1. Amarillo, Business I-40 (former US 66) at US 60. Traffic dereased due to traffic moving from US 66 to I-40. (duh)
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=35.25191,-101.642804&spn=0.006387,0.009624&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=35.25191,-101.642804&spn=0.006387,0.009624&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6)
2. In Dallas, SH 310 (former US 75) at Illinois Ave (former SH 246). Old maps show that there was a direct connector from SH 310 NB to Illinois Ave.Traffic decreased due to US &% traffic moving to I-45. Also, SH 246 was removed from the state highway system in 1951
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=32.712705,-96.752944&spn=0.006581,0.009624&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6

In Hillsboro TX. There is the OLD US 77/81 split. This interchange is no longer needed due to I-35/I-35E/I-35W.
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1209.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fcc395%2FBrian5561%2F07022011slr144.jpg&hash=766399818cbdda107929798fbd6ed8d4d1bef906). Traffic is so light at this interchange that you can stand in the middle if the highway right before the split for a long time before you will see a car, even on saturday afternoon.
There are several interchanges between streets in Dallas.
Back to KY 3 and KY 645 at Inez -- the satellite view shows the flyover, but go to Street View and you can't even see any signs that the construction had even begun when the camera car went through there. It's been a few years, but at least they had started doing some work last time I was there.
In OKC:
- Northwest Expy and May Av. Both are at-grade roadways except for the interchange.
- Lincoln Blvd and NE 23rd St. Around the State Capitol bldg
Others in OK:
- OK3 and US81 south of Okarche. Never understood this one.
The others that come to mind all involve "expressways" (defined as minor at-grade intersections with grade-separated interchanges at major junctions.

I was going to object that Northwest Expy is indeed an expressway, until I saw all the business driveways mucking it up. If I lived in OKC I'd be ticked at the planners for allowing that. It's very similar to US 23 in Delaware County, Ohio, in that regard.
Your Okarche example also looks like it involves expressways – the roads themselves are designed to expressway standards – but a few private accesses here and there indicate there's no real access control. I'm beginning to think Oklahoma doesn't know how to do a proper expressway, or maybe they loosened the rules at some point like North Carolina...
CT-12 and CT-184, this intersection was recently improved.

A few for Minnesota:
-One I came across the other day while driving: Pennsylvania Ave at Jackson St in St. Paul (http://g.co/maps/5jfjp)
-There are a few on Snelling Ave (MN 51) at County B2, Como Ave, Energy Park Dr, and Pierce Butler Route.
-Not a full interchange, but grade-separated anyway: County 81 at Lowry Ave/Wirth Pkwy (http://g.co/maps/7n8fq)
-Ayd Mill Road in St. Paul has pseudo-interchanges with a number of cross-streets (for example: http://g.co/maps/sqfbc)
This covers most of the ones I can think of. There's another set that I've been picturing in my mind by couldn't place until now.
Mississippi River Blvd in St Paul has "interchanges" with Marshall Ave and Ford Pkwy. Come to think of it, right across the river there are a couple more, at Franklin Ave and Lake St.
There's also the interchange between Wayzata Blvd (just south of 394) and Wirth Pkwy in Minneapolis.
We have some scattered around Mississippi. Jackson has only a couple I can think of: a partial cloverleaf (four ramps, favoring 80) at US 80 and State Street and a railroad-induced interchange at Woodrow Wilson and Mill Street. This last one is of the sort you sometimes see on older parkways, with very sharp turns on the ramps and virtually no merging space.
Another "standalone" interchange is planned for greater Jackson at Old Brandon Road (an ancient alignment of US 80) and Airport Road, adjacent to Jackson Int'l.
Hattiesburg has the old cloverleaf at US 49 and US 11. More modern cloverleafs that "stand alone" on otherwise open highway routes can be found on US 82 at US 61 (Leland), US 82 at US 49E (Greenwood) and US 45 at US 84 (Waynesboro, featuring CD protection for 84). Many diamond interchanges can be found along state routes, notably including MS 25 between Jackson and Starkville.
Porter Street, Beach Drive, and Klingle Road in Northwest DC. (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.933788,-77.050531&spn=0.003192,0.008256&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6) This one would look quite overbuilt to anyone new to the area. Klingle Road used to continue west from this spot under Connecticut Avenue to where another piece of road with that name still exists, but it got washed out during a storm in 1991 and has never been rebuilt (the story of that can, and in fact does, fill various websites owned by supporters and opponents of rebuilding the road). If you flip over to the map view you can use the property lines to trace the road's route if you're so inclined.
Here's a very compact cloverleaf at US 31 and AL 149 in Vestavia Hills, AL. (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Vestavia+Hills,+AL&hl=en&ll=33.468139,-86.777079&spn=0.003115,0.004683&sll=38.717662,-90.363922&sspn=0.745757,1.198883&vpsrc=6&gl=us&hnear=Vestavia+Hills,+Jefferson,+Alabama&t=h&z=18)

There are also a few along US- (http://maps.google.com/?ll=41.618859,-87.155764&spn=0.012977,0.027466&hnear=Davenport,+Scott,+Iowa&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6)12 (http://maps.google.com/?ll=41.621923,-87.119372&spn=0.012977,0.027466&hnear=Davenport,+Scott,+Iowa&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) in Northwest Indiana (both serve the Port of Indiana) and an obscure cloverleaf (http://maps.google.com/?ll=41.635299,-87.056158&spn=0.012974,0.027466&hnear=Davenport,+Scott,+Iowa&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) at US-20 and IN-49 (not sure why it's there).

Anyone know why INDOT would build it like that?
US-20 and MA-140 in Shrewsbury, MA.
US-6 and Westcott Road in South Killingly, CT.
MA-2 and MA-63 has a weird semi-interchange near Erving, MA.

US 1 @ Ives Dairy Road
This one is quite important though, because before it was built the intersection always had an insane amount of congestion and the railroad tracks right there made things much worse when a train came.

That interchange is actually in the city of Homewood, not Vestavia.
At the intersection of Palisades Drive and Palisades Blvd in Homewood, one of the movements involves going through a tunnel.

QuoteUS-50 looks like a freeway there, and that's why I originally didn't list it, but upon reflection the "freeway" look is more out of geographical convenience. Notice the Beltway interchange just to the east.

The interchange was built in the 1980s, though I don't know for how long it had been on the books. When I was a kid we lived fairly close to there on the other side of Fairfax Hospital and did our grocery shopping at the Giant that used to be on the corner there, so that construction project was one we passed through quite a bit. I remember during the gas shortages when the Shell station at the Gallows Road end had the lines set up so that you had to drive all the way around behind the Giant and then wait on line for the entire length of the back of the shopping center.
The interchange between NY 14 and NY 96 (http://maps.google.com/?ll=42.947054,-76.978133&spn=0.007256,0.013078&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6) has always puzzled me, even when I was little.
The intersection of NY 5/US 20 and NY 96A (http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.877277,-76.943521&spn=0.006085,0.013937&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6) just east of Geneva used to be a trumpet until the mid 90's, but I don't remember it.
I forgot about the ones in Wolcott and Watkins Glen until I read the pages posted by empirestate.
Most of these interchanges you folks are speaking of as "puzzling" are completely unfamiliar to me; I live nowhere near them. So I don't know if this would be relevant to any of these specific cases, but people are sometimes puzzled by the presence of, for instance, the large cloverleaf interchange in Leland, MS, which during its first years served a junction of highways that maintained more than two lanes in only one direction away from the interchange.
The case of the Leland interchange, therefore, may or may not be similar to any of the others mentioned. But the reason for that interchange, as I remember hearing it explained on the radio years ago on a WJDX public affairs program, was a high accident count at the previous intersection. The safety of both US 82 and US 61 in Mississippi was substantially enhanced simply by removing all left turns at that accident-prone junction.
The exit ramps between NY 23 and US 9W in Catskill, NY has some of the attributes of an interchange between these two highways. A couple of others of note would be NY 199/US 209 and US 9W in Kingston and US 209 and NY 28, also in the Kingston.
One more (half) interchange for MN: In Montevideo on MN 7 at N 1st St (http://g.co/maps/bqsys). This is probably due to the grade on MN 7 and the fact that 1st Street is a main road for the city of Montevideo.

I thought a jughandle was a ramp that departs from a road to the right, then turns left to meet that same road at a roughly 90-degree angle. That's not what's there on the map.

Here's a few in Northern Wisconsin:
-US 8 at WIS 35 in St. Croix Falls
-US 8 at WIS 13 in Prentice (which is interesting that WIS 13 acts as the "freeway" here... I also wonder why this interchange is here since it's kind-of in the middle of nowhere)
-US 2 at US 51 in Hurley
-WIS 312 at US 12 in Eau Claire
-Don't know if these count, but interchanges still exist on Business US 53 at WIS 312, Birch St, and US 12 (used to be US 53 until the current freeway opened a few years ago)

Not sure why they did it but living in NW Indiana for some time IN-49 goes right into the Indiana Dunes State Park which is a popular beach destination for locals and tourists and US-20 if I remember correctly has a speed limit of 55 through that area in between the towns of Chesterton and Michigan City, so it could have been done for matter of making traffic flow simple and non-congested with lights...but that's a guess, if someone has the real reason correct me.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=E+Main+St+%26+Wooster+St,+Hebron,+OH&hl=en&ll=39.960001,-82.482412&spn=0.013141,0.019419&sll=39.961974,-82.475545&sspn=0.013141,0.019419&vpsrc=6&hnear=E+Main+St+%26+Wooster+St,+Hebron,+Licking,+Ohio+43025&t=k&z=16\
---
A couple of other NorCal examples:
- Taylor Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road, Pleasant Hill. This was slated to be included in the original corridor for unbuilt Route 77.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Pleasant+Hill+Rd+%26+Holland+Dr,+Pleasant+hill,+CA&hl=en&sll=37.923347,-122.095463&sspn=0.013524,0.019419&vpsrc=0&hnear=Pleasant+Hill+Rd+%26+Holland+Dr,+Walnut+Creek,+Contra+Costa,+California+94597&t=h&z=17
It may be short, but that bypass portion of OH 79 is definitely an expressway by Ohio standards.
In your second example, I'd say Taylor Blvd looks a bit like an expressway, particularly north of that interchange. It doesn't seem to use Chapter 2E signage though...
Here's an example turned up by another thread: NY 15 & NY 252 (http://maps.google.com/?hnear=Columbus,+Franklin,+Ohio&t=k&vpsrc=6&ie=UTF8&hq=&ll=43.088197,-77.635993&spn=0.005673,0.010933&z=17). NY 252 looks like a half-assed attempt at an expressway, and the interchange looks like a half-assed attempt at a SPUI.
I don't know if this technically counts but Northwest Highway (us 14) and Illinois 68 Dundee road on the western side of Palatine as your heading out of the city is an interchange.

Nothing of the sort; this interchange predates SPUI nascency by decades. It's a diamond interchange with Texas U-turns, the only oddity being that the entrance ramps to NY 252 are controlled by signals. Well, that and all of the ramps have driveways intersecting them, hence the need for U-turns. Actually, when you put it that way, it's almost more like a mini-frontage road system than an interchange (although it serves that function also).
I won't disagree that Jefferson Road (as we call NY 252) here is a little half-assed, if only because the marked 45 mph speed limit is almost impossible to actually attain.
The recent widening is definitely half-assed, it would be so much better if they did 3 mainline lanes between Marketplace and Hylan Dr. The rest of the road moves well, but it is almost worse now there by leaving that one place small.

That part of the road wasn't included in the project, for whatever reason.
(I realize that's probably your point, so I'd just say that it wasn't half-assed, it was non-assed. :-P)
One more from MN that I came across this weekend:
Jackson Street at George Street in St. Paul (the ramps are not signed for George Street at all though)
There are a few in Madison, WI:
Campus Drive at Highland Ave. is a half diamond
Stoughton Rd. (US 51) at Cottage Grove Rd.
Stoughton Rd. at Milwaukee St.
Aberg Ave. at Packers Ave.
There are several in the Milwaukee area as well, I haven't looked them all up yet, but a few off the top of my head:
Capitol Dr. (WIS 190) at WIS 74/County F
Capitol Dr. at Pilgrim Rd. has jughandle ramps
Capitol Dr. at Port Washington Rd.
Those are the ones I can remember right now, there are several along Brown Deer Rd (WIS 100), Green Bay Rd (WIS 57), Appleton Ave. (US 41), and Loomis Rd (WIS 36) but I can't remember all the exact intersections.

Oldest in Alabama anyway, if this article is correct (http://magiccitypost.com/2011/07/30/investing-in-the-past-the-bob-wharton-cloverleaf-bridge/). I hope you're not too attached to it because it sounds like that interchange might be going away.
AbE: Oh yeah, check the part of the article where it says that the cloverleaf interchange has become obsolete. Seems the highway folks are switching over to something called "ramps".

Either Google's wrong in saying the two don't intersect, I'm crazy, or you're referring to Pennsylvania Ave (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=West+George+Street,+Saint+Paul,+MN&hl=en&ll=44.960699,-93.097801&spn=0.012283,0.027466&sll=44.956508,-93.092866&sspn=0.024568,0.054932&vpsrc=6&gl=us&hnear=W+George+St,+St+Paul,+Ramsey,+Minnesota+55107&t=m&z=16). :hmmm:

9th Street and Oak Street (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Louisville,+KY&hl=en&ll=38.234573,-85.766916&spn=0.019383,0.037208&sll=37.246455,-83.197167&sspn=0.009822,0.018604&vpsrc=6&hnear=Louisville,+Jefferson,+Kentucky&t=h&z=15) in Louisville. It was built in 2003 as part of the 9th Street Extension project. 9th originally ended at Kentucky Street. As far as I can tell, not many people travel the new roadway, and the interchange was really not needed. A stoplight would have worked just as well.

It looks like one of the few conventional road/conventional road SPUI examples, too!

Actually I think this is Robert Street and George Street, which definitely has some weird ramp things. At least it used to.
US 158/NC 87/Business US 29 in Reidsville, NC is a weird case: at times appearing to be a conventional boulevard, but then having Super Two-like segments at key junctions. Aptly named "Freeway Drive" -
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Freeway+Drive+%26+Vance+Street,+reidsville,+NC&hl=en&ll=36.353327,-79.691412&spn=0.013808,0.019848&sll=36.355107,-79.690554&sspn=0.013808,0.019848&vpsrc=6&hnear=Freeway+Dr+%26+Vance+St,+Reidsville,+Rockingham,+North+Carolina+27320&t=k&z=16
Although Wendover Avenue in Greensboro is clearly a freeway west of US 220, there is one segment through the urban core that briefly contains two interchanges, before reverting to city street on either side:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Summit+Ave+%26+3rd+Street,+Greensboro,+NC&hl=en&ll=36.088089,-79.776621&spn=0.013855,0.019848&sll=36.08743,-79.777157&sspn=0.013924,0.019848&vpsrc=6&hnear=Summit+Ave+%26+3rd+St,+Greensboro,+Guilford,+North+Carolina+27405&t=k&z=16
Here's another Greensboro example, at Merritt Drive and Patterson Street:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Halifax+Road+and+Merritt+Drive,+Greensboro,+NC&hl=en&ll=36.054381,-79.853911&spn=0.00693,0.009924&sll=36.054355,-79.854662&sspn=0.00693,0.009924&vpsrc=0&hnear=Merritt+Dr+%26+Halifax+Rd,+Greensboro,+Guilford,+North+Carolina+27407&t=k&z=17
Here are two folded diamonds (well, actually three) between conventional roads, that I drive by quite often. the first one is in Hawkesbury, ON, between ON-34 and old Trans-Canada Highway 17 (now Prescott & Russell County Rd 17).
http://maps.google.com/?q=45.59629,-74.62069
Then there is Old Québec Route 9C in Châteauguay (Chemin Saint-Bernard) which used to be an important bypass (or was supposed to be one...) of the city. Parts of it have been twinned, and interchanges have been built.
http://maps.google.com/?q=45.38083,-73.75236
Actually, west of the shown area, you can see that twinning work had been done; in fact another bridge was even twinned, but the north carriageway is not open to traffic and has probably never been. I think it might be a bike trail or something now.
EDIT: Fixed "been" typo.

Was this ever planned as part of Autoroute 30?
QuoteActually I think this is Robert Street and George Street, which definitely has some weird ramp things. At least it used to.
It is, and they still exist AFAIK. Functionally the same thing as several locations in DC: Dupont Circle (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.909895,-77.043933&spn=0.00642,0.014441&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6) (with Connecticut Ave NW passing underneath), Scott Circle (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.907281,-77.036621&spn=0.00321,0.007221&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6) (with 16th St NW passing underneath), Washington Circle (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.902652,-77.050145&spn=0.00321,0.007221&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6) (with K St NW/US 29 passing underneath), South Capitol St at M St SW/SE (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.876167,-77.009429&spn=0.006423,0.014441&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6), North Capitol St at New York Ave/US 50 (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.907319,-77.009166&spn=0.00321,0.007221&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6), and North Capitol St at T St NE/NW and Rhode Island Ave/US 1 (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.916272,-77.009118&spn=0.006419,0.014441&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6). South Capitol at Malcolm X Ave (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.844763,-77.008506&spn=0.006426,0.014441&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6) is more of a traditional tight diamond, with I-295 just to the east.
Elsewhere in DC, a partial interchange existed at New York Ave/US 50 and 9th St NE (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.91275,-76.992499&spn=0.00642,0.014441&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6). However, a recent bridge replacement project (shown under construction on the aerial) eliminated the direct ramps and replaced them with a connector road between New York Ave and Mt. Olivet Rd.
An elaborate mix of ramps exists between South Capitol St (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.865834,-77.002326&spn=0.006424,0.014441&t=k&z=17&vpsrc=6), Suitland Pkwy, Howard Rd SE, and Anacosita Dr SE. If the city finds funding for their planned Frederick Douglas Bridge replacement (South Capitol over the river), this will be replaced with a traffic circle.
Speaking of Suitland Parkway, it's a limited-access route (originially built as "Military Rd", connecting the then-new Andrews AFB to central DC) with a mix of intersections and interchanges. Interchanges exist at Alabama Ave SE, Branch Ave/MD 5, Silver Hill Rd/MD 458, Suitland Rd, and the Andrews AFB North Gate. DC has plans for an "inside the median interchange" at Martin Luther King Ave SE (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.860642,-76.994435&spn=0.003212,0.007221&t=k&z=18&vpsrc=6).
Semi-related, there are three segments of road in DC that were originally built in the '50s intended to be freeways, but are basically classified as short expressway segments now. These are North Capitol St (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.93421,-77.007294&spn=0.025671,0.057764&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=6) between Michigan Ave and Harewood Rd, Military Rd NW (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.961261,-77.043664&spn=0.012831,0.028882&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) between Oregon Ave NW and 14th St NW, and East Capitol St (http://maps.google.com/?ll=38.889429,-76.958928&spn=0.012844,0.028882&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=6) between RFK Stadium and 40th St NE.

Maybe in the early stages, but the final plan for I-95 followed the rail line to the east.

As NE2 says, I-95 would have passed to the east of there where the railroad tracks are. See this map on Scott Kozel's site. (http://www.roadstothefuture.com/DC_Interstate_Map_XL.jpg) The segment of North Capitol Street to which froggie refers is in the upper right quarter of the map where you see a cloverleaf interchange depicted (follow the red ink down from the top and look to the left when you hit the word "Brookland").
QuoteIs the North Capitol Street expressway part of what was planned to be I-95?
It was planned as a separate route from I-95 and then I-70S (today's I-270).
Here's a better map (1966): http://bp0.blogger.com/_BZaPGsbLyHM/RjvDr1eUTmI/AAAAAAAAAFY/bxHlvCnULtU/s1600-h/1966+NCF+Title+Page+Map+cropped+1280.gif
http://wwwtripwithinthebeltway.blogspot.com/2010/12/cap-north-capitol-street.html has a couple links at the end showing that North Capitol was to be a separate connecting route, continuing north from Hawaii Avenue to near the 95-70S split.
http://wwwtripwithinthebeltway.blogspot.com/2006/11/original-northern-radials.html (1959) doesn't have a legend (perhaps tan for freeway and black for arterial?), but appears to show an intermediate loop on Military and a radial on East Capitol.

I don't think so. Too narrow, and the exit ramps are way too tight (15 km/h advisory). I think it was just planned as a short expressway bypass.
Some locals do believe it was part of the A-30 project, but I'm seriously not convinced.

Who knows if it was to be A-30 but it was certainly planned for more.
U.S. 90 Alternate at State Road 291 north of Pensacola (http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=30.533750617252323~-87.20497929359843&lvl=17&dir=0&sty=h&form=LMLTCC).
(https://www.aaroads.com/southeast/florida090/us-090a_wb_at_fl-291_sb_01.jpg)
There is also State Road 295 near Warrington with interchanges at State Road 727 and U.S. 90, but I consider that a mini-freeway because there is limited access for a 1.1 mile stretch.

Sand Lake and Kirkman in southwestern Orlando was built for the Martin (Marietta/Lockheed) Company in the 1950s, when Sand Lake was planned as the western approach to the Bee Line Expressway. It hasn't changed since, except for minor changes to the eastbound right-turn ramp.
Interesting, NE3. So that was route 3, not 9C.

Watt is a semi-freeway from US 50 to American River Drive (including a second exit at La Riviera Drive near the shopping center there), more of an expressway than conventional road for that short stretch.
A couple I noticed were missed in Metro Detroit area. One at Greenfield and Rotunda, another at Schaefer and Rotunda, a third at Ford Road and Hines Drive and lastly Dix-Toledo/Allen Rd/Pennsylvania Rd. The last one is an interchange between all 3 and an intersection with Allen and Pennsylvania.

Looking at my lengthening itinerary for Route 66, how about US 67 in St. Louis? Several interchanges on it.

Looking at my lengthening itinerary for Route 66, how about US 67 in St. Louis? Several interchanges on it.
Looks like they were going for an expressway concept, but failed to properly control property access (or didn't want to disturb existing direct-access businesses). Perhaps this is the result of trying to convert a long-established conventional road into an expressway, a process US 23 north of Columbus may be going through now and over the coming decades.
Seattle has sort of a special case of this at the interchange between 4th Avenue and I-90. It's the western terminus of I-90 where it becomes Edgar Martinez Drive (formerly Atlantic Street). It's sort of a 3/4 SPUI from 4th Avenue to I-90/Atlantic (i.e. the traffic lights are on I-90/Atlantic).
Map here: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=seattle,+wa&hl=en&ll=47.590312,-122.329051&spn=0.002896,0.005284&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.047881,86.572266&vpsrc=6&hnear=Seattle,+King,+Washington&t=h&z=18
Don't remember if I have contributed to this thread, and too lazy to go look, but West Virginia has several along its Appalachian Regional Commission corridors, which are mostly surface routes. Also, the new US 35 four-lane is a surface route but has an interchange with WV 34 near Winfield.
There are a handful in Kentucky as well. US 23 is a surface route for all of its four-lane length but it has some interchanges scattered about. I wouldn't count the Hambley Blvd. interchange in Pikeville because it's the end of the route, but there are interchanges at KY 1384, KY 80, KY 114 and US 460. There are also plans to build a grade-separated interchange at KY 3 near Louisa. (Which, in my view, is a total waste of money. The current signalized intersection is at the bottom of a long downhill grade going north and the exit is being built, supposedly, to keep coal trucks from running the red light and slamming into vehicles that have the green on KY 3. I'd solve that by spending a few thousand dollars to put a mandatory truck stop at the top of the hill, instead of millions for an interchange.)
KY 67 has an interchange with KY 207. In Lexington, US 60 and KY 4 are both surface roads where they intersect on the east side of town, as are KY 4 and KY 922. (The freeway portion of New Circle Road starts just to the west, at the US 25 interchange.) And in Frankfort, US 60 and KY 676/US 421 are both surface routes at the site of Kentucky's first SPUI, built in the early '80s.
Kentucky also has a handful of grade-separated intersections that aren't fully directional interchanges. US 23 and KY 32 near Louisa, KY 321 (old US 23) and KY 1428 (even older US 23) south of Paintsville, KY 80 and KY 476 northeast of Hazard, new KY 15 and KY 205/KY 1812 in Breathitt County and US 119 and KY 160 at Cumberland are examples.
The logic of some of the grade separations on the newest sections of US 119 in Pike County escapes me.
In Tennessee, there is one in the western part of the state south of Jackson. Also in Kingsport there are grade separations at TN 36 (old US 23) and US 11W, and US 11W and TN 93. The southern split of US 25E and US 11W near Bean Station is a full interchange, while the northern split is not fully grade-separated.
Another Nashville area one that I forgot:
The US 31W/41 split north of town. It's right near exit 98 of I-65.
http://maps.google.com/?ll=36.345895,-86.717577&spn=0.018839,0.045447&t=h&z=15
Can't believe I forgot three in the Hazard area.
KY 15 and KY 80/KY 550 north of Hazard.
KY 15 and Hal Rogers Parkway/KY 80, also north of Hazard. At that point the Hal Rogers Parkway is a surface route, not a limited access "super 2."
KY 15 and KY 451 on the Hazard Bypass.
And in light of the bridge takedown, US 68/KY 80 and The Trace have a grade-separated intersection in Land Between The Lakes, much like the Blue Ridge Parkway intersections with state and US routes.
There's an interchange at US 62 and US 641/KY 282 near Kentucky Dam, and also US 62/641 and KY 453 at Grand Rivers.
There a couple that have been missed in Chicagoland.
A psudo one in Bensenville, IL 83 Kingery Hwy/Busse Hwy with IL 19 Irving Park Rd. Signs are posted on side streets to get to between the two roads.
There was one on IL 50 Cicero Ave in Chicago at the Ford City Mall that connected to Pulaski Rd but that was removed about 10 years ago.
US 14 Dempster St has one at IL 21 Milwaukee Ave in Niles.
Lemont Rd/State St at Main St/New Ave in Lemont. Coming south on Lemont Rd/State St, the bridge ends at the light at Illinois Ave and has signs posted to get to Main St/New Ave.
Along US 45 La Grange Rd in the southwest suburbs there are a couple of them. One is in Palos Hills at IL 83 Calumet Sag Rd. Another is at IL 171 Archer Ave/79th St but that also has a NB to SB I-294 ramp and SB to SB I-294 ramp mixed into the interchange. But I believe this should count since there are direct ramps between IL 171 Archer Ave and US 12/20/45 La Grange Rd. There is also a psudo one at IL 7 Southwest Hwy with signs posted as "to" along 143rd St.
Along US 41 Skokie Hwy in Lake County, there are several "exits" in the non expressway sections of the road. They are at Deerpath Rd, IL 176 Rockland Rd (using side streets), Northport Blvd (SB 41 access to/from only), Old Skokie Hwy (NB 41 access to/from only), IL 120 Belvidere Rd, IL 43 Waukegan Rd, Washington St, IL 132 Grand Ave.
Then there is Willow Rd/Palatine Rd through Arlington Hts and Wheeling. It is a psudo expressway but also has several lights and driveways along it so i would say it counts. There are exits at IL 83 Elmhurst Rd, Wolf Rd, and US 45/IL 21 Milwaukee Ave.

US 412 @ US 69
US 59/271 @ US 59 Bypass

* US 190 at Fairway Drive - http://g.co/maps/7bahg (http://g.co/maps/7bahg)
Not quite - US 190 between LA 22/North Causeway and I-12 is full freeway and (except for pavement condition) Interstate-standard at that interchange.
Does the Colonial Parkway in VA count? It has an interchange with VA 5 just north of the tunnel that is really with one connector road that is accessed from both directions and meets the Parkway at grade. BTW you cannot even consider this road a freeway or super two because it is not even striped its whole length except through the tunnel to prevent passing while inside.
There are actually two interchanges between conventional roads in Salinas.

That's what I think is the reason for this. I think 68 was supposed to be a freeway all the way to 101 near Laurel, but I guess only the part going into the mountains on the Salinas side got built as a freeway.

So what's your point? I did note in my post that expressways in Santa Clara County are more like conventional roads than limited access freeways. Remember, expressways and freeways are not equal nationwide. They may be in some states but not in others (like California).
Expressways in Santa Clara County are definitely expressways in the sense that they have a mix of intersections and interchanges. In other words, they're expected to have interchanges, so listing those interchanges is pointless, even if one thinks listing interchanges on conventional roads has a point.

So you would consider Lawrence Expwy in Santa Clara county equal to the Dan Ryan Expwy in Chicago? Lawrence has signal lights at at-grade intersections while the Dan Ryan is an interstate! I guess this really boils down to is what's VTK's definition of an "expressway".
I took 'conventional roads' to mean something that is neither and expressway nor a freeway. Otherwise, there's nothing really exceptional about an interchange being there. :fight:

The name of a road doesn't determine what its type is. You could call I-80 'America Street', but that wouldn't make it less of a freeway. You could call the street I live on 'Freeway 109', but that wouldn't make it one.

That varies from state-to-state or country-to-country. In California, freeways and expressways have different legal definitions and I don't think it's legal to name a city street a "freeway" unless certain requirements are met. Other states consider freeways and expressways the same type of road.
California may consider things to be such and such, as may Europe (let's hop over to SkyscraperCity for those discussions), but web forums tend to use generally accepted U.S. terminology, by which an expressway is a four-lane highway with at least some at-grade intersections and/or entries/exits, designed for moderate- to high-speed travel.
Once again, though....this is beside the point of the thread. Expressways and freeways are places one would expect to find interchanges. How about examples from more minor roads?

KP, you're half right. For instance, in Wisconsin, expressway and freeway have very specific meanings. Expressways have a mix of interchanges and at grade intersections. For example, US 12 around Madison is a freeway but US 12 near Baraboo is considered an expressway.

Much of US-101 north of Santa Rosa isn't technically a freeway, but it has interchanges much like CA-152 does at Casa de Fruta. I don't really consider it much of a 'conventional' road, but I'm not sure what the OP's intent of 'conventional' was.

Sounds like a bit of an edge case. Other factors to consider: direct private access (yes/RIRO/none), predominant guide signage type (MUTCD chapter 2D or 2E), breakdown lanes, clear zones...

This used to be my neck of the woods. Geez, that was like eight years ago....I feel old.... Anyway, they certainly function as ramps. Roosevelt and Route 59 are major highways through there, and–believe me–most traffic on those 'streets' is going between the two.

Yes, at Ridgeway Ave. (CR 111...but not right there). Mount Read Blvd. is a funny road...it's an engineer's expressway (so, ineligible for the thread by some of the above arguments) with frontage roads and these couple of interchanges, plus a few other assorted slip ramps along the way, but doesn't seem to serve a whole lot of traffic. It goes through industrial areas (Kodak Park is between the two interchanges) and is just generally gritty. For example, what for a time was Rochester's only all-nude strip club was there. I recall reading that it was an early iteration of the Outer Loop, later supplanted by NY 390 to its west.

Yes, but the ones on Long Island are primarily formerly proposed to be upgraded into limited-access highways of one form or another.
Within Portland, OR and in the immediate area there are quite a few:
Barbur Boulevard and 26th Way
Barbur Boulevard and Multnomah Boulevard (the overpass was built when Multnomah Boulevard was a railroad, one ramp SB-WB was added when Multnomah Boulevard was built)
Barbur Boulevard and Capitol Highway (Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway) (don't be fooled by "Capitol Highway" being called a "highway", it hasn't acted as a "highway" since the 1930s when Barbur Boulevard was constructed.)
Naito Parkway (formerly Front Avenue) and the the west end of the Ross Island Bridge (U.S. 26)
Powell Boulevard (U.S. 26) and S.E. 17th Avenue
McLoughlin Boulevard (Oregon 99E) and S.E. Milwaukie Avenue
McLoughlin Boulevard and Bybee Boulevard
McLoughlin Boulevard and Tacoma Street/Johnson Creek Boulevard
Milwaukie Expressway (Oregon 224) and Lake Road - although 224 is technically a divided expressway underneath Lake Road, there are signallized intersections immediately northwest and southeast of the interchange.
Interstate Avenue and N.E. Broadway
Greeley Avenue and Going Street
N.E. Columbia Boulevard and 33rd Drive

That's where I believe it to be, but I've looked at enough other sources to cast at least a little doubt. There's no clear pavement change to give away the exact spot, but there are reference markers up to Joanne Drive.
One that hasn't been mentioned yet: Cliff Gookin Blvd in Tupelo, MS has a trumpet-style interchange at Tupelo High School (http://maps.google.com/?ll=34.231275,-88.762268&spn=0.006839,0.010353&t=h&z=17). Unless any of you know of other examples, it's perhaps the only case of an interchange built to directly serve a high school.
There is actually one outside of Atlantic City, NJ. U.S. 40-322 has a trumpet interchange serving Atlantic City High School.
EDIT: I just looked at an aerial for this area and saw that there are some loop ramps in this interchange as well for u-turn movements.
There's this (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=white+oak,+silver+spring+md&hl=en&ll=39.043453,-76.991887&spn=0.009349,0.013776&fb=1&gl=us&hq=white+oak,&hnear=Silver+Spring,+Montgomery,+Maryland&t=h&fll=39.040986,-76.990557&fspn=0.00935,0.013776&z=16) interchange in the White Oak area of Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland, between U.S. 29 (Columbia Pike) and Md. 650 (New Hampshire Avenue), which is at least 45 or 50 years old.
It was, for decades, the only grade-separated interchange in Montgomery County that was not on an Interstate or on the federal Clara Barton Parkway, though that is no longer the case, as several new interchanges on U.S. 29 have been built north of this location in recent years, and there's also one on Md. 355 (Rockville Pike) at the new Montrose Parkway.
In Akron, on SR-93 (Manchester Road), there are a set of ramps for Kenmore Boulevard and Maryland Avenue. It's between I-76/77 and I-277/US-224 (the latter of which is closed for 4 weeks due to repaving, BTW)
Florida:
US 301 and US 441 in Reddick, Florida
US 301 and FL 24 in Waldo, Florida
US 98 and Pasco CR Alternate 35 in Richland, Florida
South Carolina:
US 21-ALT 17 and SC 68 in Yemassee, South Carolina
New York:
US 9W used to have a fly-under interchange with NY 303 that was southbound only to NY 303 and northbound only from NY 303. Instead of upgrading it, they tore it down and turned it into an at-grade intersection slightly further south back in the late-1980's. I wish I knew exactly when in the late-1980's it was torn down, so I could get the citation tag on the subject off of Wikipedia. I know it was sometime after the second road construction bond passed by the New York State Legislature.

Tacoma, WA: Union Ave and South Tacoma Way. Necessary because South Tacoma Way is in the Nalley Valley, while Union Avenue is on a viaduct over the valley.
I did anyone mention the trumpet interchange (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hurley,+WI&hl=en&ll=46.46531,-90.195286&spn=0.014248,0.01457&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=65.645551,59.677734&oq=Hurley,+WI&hnear=Hurley,+Iron,+Wisconsin&t=h&z=16) between US 51 and US 2 in Hurley, WI, yet?
US 6 and NY 293 near Harriman, NY. Two roads that are two lanes that intersect with a trumpet. The only thing more odd is the fact that US 6 is not dominate here, spite hardly any traffic goes from EB to NB and SB to WB. NY 293 is the main body, with US 6 exiting itself EB and WB goes through the trumpet ramp to merge into NY 293.
NC 49 and NC 73 have a 7/8 cloverleaf interchange (http://g.co/maps/crwbf) (with two-way ramps and one left turn) near Mount Pleasant. It wasn't made to accommodate future widening of NC 49 (and it's 4 lanes very nearby), as the bridge only fits two-lane 49 under it.
There are quite a few here in Northwest Indiana.
Indiana 49 has two: a two-way quarter cloverleaf connecting U.S. 12, seen here, (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.642684,-87.063121&spn=0.002822,0.005681&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=18) and one just half a mile south at U.S. 20, seen here (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.635356,-87.058368&spn=0.005645,0.011362&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=17) (note the access to residential areas in the northeast quadrant).
Since Indiana 49 is near freeway standard south of the Toll Road, I'll mention these in passing, an interchange with U.S. 6, a future interchange at Vale Park Road (which was once a traffic light controlled intersection, but is currently being rebuilt due to a high number of fatal accidents), another one at Indiana 2 (LaPorte Road), and a parclo at U.S. 30.
Here's another one at U.S. 20/35 and Indiana 212 in Michigan City. (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.698279,-86.827698&spn=0.00564,0.011362&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=17)
U.S. 12 has it's fair share in Porter County, including the main entrance to ArcelorMittal Steel, seen here... (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.622075,-87.11935&spn=0.005646,0.011362&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=17)
...and the Indiana 249 north terminus and the Port of Indiana entrance, seen here... (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.617905,-87.156225&spn=0.005647,0.011362&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=17)
...and this hard to explain interchange between U.S. 12, Indiana 249, and the entrance to U.S. Steel Midwest and the Portage Lakefront, seen here. (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.61691,-87.17189&spn=0.005647,0.011362&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=17)
Finally, I don't know if you count this, but here's one between County Line Road and the entrance to Indiana Dunes West Beach. (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Burns+Harbor,+IN&hl=en&ll=41.613966,-87.22209&spn=0.005647,0.011362&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.641855,93.076172&oq=Burns+&hnear=Burns+Harbor,+Porter,+Indiana&t=m&z=17)
I forgot to mention near San Diego, along the coastal route CA 75 there is one interchange when I was there back in 1988. It was with a park road that led to a beach parking area. However, the grad separation is only on SB CA 75, while the NB lanes intersected with the park road at grade.
Near Scranton, PA you have the same with PA 435 and PA 348 is a partial interchange you can say. Northbound PA 435 is grade separated from PA 348 with ramps, while SB PA 435 intersects with PA 348.
In Miami area you have the eastern end of FL 826 have an intersection with FL A1A. However to ease traffic flow at this junction, a flyover was added to carry left turn traffic from NB FL A1A to WB FL 826, making this into another partial interchange that is one of many along the coast in Miam-Dade and Broward Counties in FL.
Ayd Mill Road in Saint Paul. Was built to connect to I-35W (which it finally does) and I-94 which it does not. Built like a freeway with exits next to a railroad track below regular ground level but has stoplights. NIMBYs won't allow it to be connected (even though it takes traffic out of their neighborhood.
Interchanges being the two-way freeway-like connections between the two roads with the stoplights.
Here's a new one being built in the Columbus area:
http://franklincountyengineer.org/2012%20Projects/groveport_road.htm (http://franklincountyengineer.org/2012%20Projects/groveport_road.htm)
Click the Engineering Schematic PDF to see the design. It's actually more like a visualization shown at public meetings than an actual engineering schematic.
As far as I know, this is the first instance of Franklin County (not ODOT) building a road bridge over another road solely for the purpose of improving traffic flow.

I wouldn't really count that stretch of WI 145 for this example, as WI 145 is a freeway for that stretch. Also, your WI 16-WI 190/Capitol Dr. example doesn't really count, as WI 16 also is a freeway in that area. Otherwise, great finds.
I also found that you missed another example nearby to one you gave, at Brown Deer Rd. and N. 76th St.
Boulevard Pie-IX (Highway 125) and Boulevard Henri-Bourrassa in Montréal-Nord.

It will be torn down very soon and converted into a signal-controlled intersection. Many factors are causing this, including the new toll bridge on A-25 (drivers were previously routed to the bridge on Pie-IX), NIMBY residents and traffic calming measures.
Had forgotten about this one until I crossed it this afternoon.
US 68 and OH 350 near Cuba, south of Wilimington:

How about the current Huey P. Long Bridge northern approach with Jefferson Highway near New Orleans? Right now it is a complete intersection, but it was and will be again an interchange when the new bridge gets done. It used to be Jefferson Highway over Clearview Parkway and the northern bridge approach, it will be the other way around once this project gets completed. Neither roads are freeways, but some may argue that the HPL Bridge itself is a freeway, but it has surface arterials on both ends, so technically its a freeway by coincidence cause the bridge cannot be at grade with other roads.

Stoughton Rd. at Milwaukee St.
I wouldn't really count those. Campus Dr is an expressway, bypassing the older residential portions of University Ave. Stoughton Rd/US 51 for the most part an expressway thru Madison/Blooming Grove/Monona. Between the interchange with WIS 30 and the signals at Buckeye Rd, the two you list are the only access points along a stretch with a posted speeds of 45-55.

All the ones with Sunrise Highway were for a potential upgrade of Sunrise into a limited-access highway, and anything east of NY 109 doesn't count for this thread. The same goes for Conduit Avenue/Boulevard, which was supposed to be upgraded into part of the Bushwick Expressway. I'm not entirely sure that this was proposed for NY 25 though.
Did anybody mention Horse Block Road(Suffolk CR 16) and Long Island Avenue in Medford, New York? Well, I'm mentioning it now.
Valatie, NY has both US 9 and NY 9H interchanging there. I do not know if someone mentioned it already, but this one flips the bill for this topic.
US 20 and NY 19 south of LeRoy, NY. With a rail line paralleling NY 19 on the west side, all traffic exits/enters on the east side. There is a road that intersects in the southeast quadrant and there are driveways in the northeast quadrant.
In Alabama, US80 has interchanges with AL5 and AL17. Both in the middle of nowhere and I'm not sure why they exist. Also I'm not sure the one at US43 and AL24 in Russellville is entirely necessary.
In Louisiana, US 171 interchanges with US 190/LA 12, although the low traffic on both roads would be better served by a light. http://goo.gl/maps/SUjg2

There is a railroad right there. However, moving the road slightly to the north negates any need for a full interchange.

But there's still need for a bridge over the railroad. So why not take advantage of it?

It isn't on the map yet, but there's an interchange being built at US 285 and FM 1776 in Texas. These are two very lightly-traveled roads in the middle of nowhere. The highest traffic count is 1,300 vehicles per day on 285 south. 1776 traffic counts under 600.
Both roads have 75 mph speed limits. It was converted to a four-way stop as an intermediate measure because of very severe accidents. For some reason drivers on 1776 have been frequently running the stop sign at full highway speed for years.
In Nebraska:
Dodge Street (US 6) has an interchange with Saddle Creek Road, although that may be based on topography. OTOH, there are a number of turn-right-to-go-left situations on Dodge which have nothing to do with topography, like going west at 33rd Street, 42nd Street and at UNO (University of Nebraska at Omaha). Eastbound Dodge gets one at Happy Hollow. Saddle Creek gets one going north at 50th Street.
For some reason unexplained to me, NE 92 at Yutan in Saunders County has an at-grade interchange at Yutan.
In Iowa:
I vaguely recall there being one in the northern part of the Des Moines area. I think it is on Merle Hay north of I-80, but can't remember the cross road.
Sioux City has a number on Business US 75, including one with Business US 20. There's also one with Floyd Blvd and Transit Ave on Business US 75.
I think the one on US 59 and Iowa 92 by Carson was missed previously.
In Kansas:
I think US 24 and Topeka Blvd was not mentioned. It persists in being a cloverleaf interchange in spite of itself. I'm not sure if US 24 is supposed to be a freeway, expressway, or just a surface road in Topeka.
North Texas has them all over the place.

The Whitman interchange is being discussed to become a regular intersection
A new one has been just finished this month in Downers Grove IL between Belmont Rd and Burlington Ave/Warren Ave. This had previously been a signal with a railroad crossing just south of the intersection. When IDOT built the underpass for the railroad, they also made Burlington/Warren an underpass.
I don't know if anyone's mentioned Sea World Drive/Ingraham Street/West Mission Bay Drive/Sunset Cliffs Boulevard in San Diego. Almost a complete cloverleaf.
This one (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=36.522225,-121.80599&num=1&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6&vps=1) along Carmel Valley Road (Monterey County G16).
I noticed that many Texas Freeway frontage roads have interchanges with cross roads that bridge over the freeway that they compliment. The same in VA where US 301 is frontage road for I-95 south of Petersburg, where US 301 passes beneath many roads crossing over I-95 under the same overpass. You will see connector roads link US 301 with the other adjacent roadway.

I noticed that many Texas Freeway frontage roads have interchanges with cross roads that bridge over the freeway that they compliment. The same in VA where US 301 is frontage road for I-95 south of Petersburg, where US 301 passes beneath many roads crossing over I-95 under the same overpass. You will see connector roads link US 301 with the other adjacent roadway.
Very much true, and I hadn't even thought of that. It's a common occurrence.
Some rail lines that parallel many roads, have the overpass that spans the railroad also span the roadway as well. Some do not even have an interchange or connector, but there are many that do.
Then in Pottstown, PA you have PA 100 with a partial interchange with Old US 422 that involves a railway running close to one of the two road grades that requires the other to be separated from the other in order to raise itself over the train tracks. PA 100 is the one that spans both Old 422 and the railroad and the missing movements that the interchange lacks requires use of other Pottstown municipal streets in between. Sort of a Breezewood of a Breezewood you might say.
PA 100 was supposed to be all freeway from West Chester to Allentown originally, but now at Pottstown it's an "expressway" or whatever the non-northeasterners call it. :P

Yeah I see the Trexlertown Bypass is not full freeway either. Then you have the part freeway at West Chester that is a connector from US 202 that ends only a short distance later unless PA redesignated it when PA 100 got truncated and now ends at US 202 using that short freeway.

The Trexlertown Bypass appears to be just a downgraded remnant of the (needed) full 222 freeway from Reading to Allentown. I'm not sure how 100 would have originally tied into it if it would at all, or just meet it at a normal interchange to the east or west. It also may have ended there, or (better) gone up to 78/22.
Here's one whose existence puzzled me from the time I moved to South Bend 35 years ago to this day:

This is the intersection of SR 23 and SR 933 (formerly US 33) on the left side, plus Mishawaka Ave. on the right. All the roads are surface streets away from this interchange. This just blooms up out of nowhere, complete with BGSs:

I think that this part of SR 23 was intended as one section of an inner belt that never was finished. Two traffic lights would have sufficed.

PennDOT indeed redesignated that connector as the truncated southern leg of PA 100; previously it had no
signed route number.

US 6 and NY 293 near Harriman, NY. Two roads that are two lanes that intersect with a trumpet. The only thing more odd is the fact that US 6 is not dominate here, spite hardly any traffic goes from EB to NB and SB to WB. NY 293 is the main body, with US 6 exiting itself EB and WB goes through the trumpet ramp to merge into NY 293.
I think that's because US 6 in that area is supposed to be the Long Mountain Parkway. And you know on the other end of that US 9W has quite a few interchanges in the West Point Area.
Monterey Highway and Bailey Avenue in South San Jose.
Forgot the one in Bellevue, Nebraska at NE 370 and Fort Crook Road (the former US-73 and -75). I believe this may have been Nebraska's first SPUI, but I didn't live here then to know for sure.

I think that this part of SR 23 was intended as one section of an inner belt that never was finished. Two traffic lights would have sufficed.
This site: http://www.roadfan.com/sbnelkrd.html references such a plan under the section for IN 23. The IN 23/IN 933 interchange was to be the SE corner, and the Chapin/Lincoln Way intersection was to be the NW corner. This is also why IN 933 (formerly US 33) got routed onto Sample St. when in reality it's quicker to just stay on Lincoln Way/Monroe to get to Michigan St.
To add an entry from the other end of the state, in Clarksville, the former IN 62 and the former IN 131 have an interchange.
^ Thanks for the additional info about my town, cabiness.
Off the subject, but I'm still trying to figure out why US-33, north of the St. Joseph Valley Parkway, had to go away. It was a useful route, and it's an easier number than SR-933. Furthermore, 933 doesn't even touch 33, since Elkhart County for whatever reason decided that they didn't need the 933 designation.
Once the SJVP was completed from US 31 in South Bend to US 20 West of Plymouth, it became the primary East-West corridor in St. Joseph/Elkhart counties. US 20 was rerouted around the SJVP, and they could have done the same with US 33, but that would have been a needless concurrency since 33 ended in Niles anyway.
The 933 designation means that the road is still a state highway and maintained by INDOT. For whatever reason, St. Joe County wanted INDOT to continue to maintain the road but Elkhart County was willing to take back responsibility for the road.

If it's less than a mile long, it's too short to really be established as anything. Again, that's just a working definition we had.

I find that intriguing because California seems to define it at an absurd minimum at times - the section of Skyline Boulevard between Westmoor Avenue in Daly City and Hickey Boulevard is officially a freeway due to one interchange with Route 1, yet the section of the Junipero Serra Freeway that carries only Route 1 north of I-280 in SF isn't officially one despite three interchanges.

But bikes are allowed here (http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist1/d1transplan/bikeped/bikeguide/2930.pdf) (and apparently on all other freeways in Caltrans District 1). I suppose it could be for the emergency parking only (CVC 21718: "No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle upon a freeway which has full control of access and no crossings at grade") but that seems like an extremely minor reason.
Roadgeek definitions of terms like "freeway" and "expressway" do not have to agree with legal definitions in specific jurisdictions or colloquial usage in specific regions...
Well, there are two interchanges along that section: one at Riverton St/Glass Run Rd and one at Baldwin Rd. In all directions from those two interchanges, all roads go back down to two lanes. So I would say it's a marginal example, but an example nonetheless.

I think control of access is the principal reason. Prevention of non-emergency parking can't be the only reason because that can be done by order, without the need to declare a freeway.

I'd cut it to two in a row, and maybe sometimes one, if one of those is with another freeway.
I'd cut it down to one interchange if the facility is two miles or greater and has other grade separations. Take the IL 137 freeway in Waukegan - it's only about 2.4 miles long and has only two interchanges - one of which is at the northern end of the facility and will be changed to a conventional T-intersection in the future. Given the two overpasses on the south half, it should be classified as a freeway.

And as the IL 137 case could be an example for, if the facility was to be part of a much longer facility at one time, it should be able to get the freeway classify despite not having three interchanges or a decent length.

In general they do, but California law (to the best of my knowledge) does not distinguish expressways as a separate category of access-controlled facility. In California a freeway is legally defined as a road in respect of which abutters either do not have a right or easement of access, or have only a
limited right or easement of access. So under California law a road which has access control but still has driveways by permit is legally a freeway, despite not meeting the AASHTO definition of a freeway, which is based primarily on features of physical construction such as access only at interchanges.
I don't think "BEGIN FREEWAY" in this context is intended to signal the beginning of an AASHTO freeway: rather, it delimits the start of a length subject to limitation of access.

Both are country roads. Although this looks to be a bypass section of MD 26. And since the current imagery shows the bridge under construction this interchange must be old. So I think it would be safe to say it predates I-70 to the south. So I guess back then this road could have carried a good amount of traffic between Baltimore and points west.

So under California law a road which has access control but still has driveways by permit is legally a freeway, despite not meeting the AASHTO definition of a freeway, which is based primarily on features of physical construction such as access only at interchanges.
I don't think "BEGIN FREEWAY" in this context is intended to signal the beginning of an AASHTO freeway: rather, it delimits the start of a length subject to limitation of access.
there are two different styles of FREEWAY signs in California.
large signs, intended to be read by motorists at speed, designate AASHO-style freeways.
small signs, placed on the fence delineating the edge of the right of way, look like this:
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.safewaysign.com%2FImages%2Fsigns%2Fs3-1%2528ca%2529.png&hash=9ff489a94d00d26e371bcf25cab7afe8c76f1d6a)
that entire sign is 24x18 inches (IIRC) and is intended to be read while stopped, so that a developer may contact CalTrans appropriately. those identify what California defines as a freeway, in terms of access rights.
the second style of sign seems to have been much more commonly used in the 50s and 60s - all the ones I know of are porcelain, and I've seen only one which mentions CalTrans as opposed to the (pre-1973) Division of Highways. I've seen them along two-lane roads with limited access control - i.e. only along sectional lines a mile apart. old US-99W paralleling I-5 north of Sacramento comes to mind.
Denver:
W Colfax Ave (I-70 Business/US 40/US 287 east of this interchange) & N Federal Blvd (US 287 north of the interchange/CO 88 south of the interchange). This used to be a full cloverleaf, but was converted to a partial with the removal of the loop from NB Federal to WB Colfax, and the extension of the ramp from NB Federal into the parking for Mile High as Elliot St.

Quebec St and 40th St/Sandown Rd & Smith Rd. Quebec was supposed to be a freeway from I-70 south to the former Stapleton Airport. The freeway was never built, and this interchange (and the wide median on Quebec south of here) are the only parts that were constructed.

Englewood:
Hampden Bypass/Jefferson Ave (US 285) & S Broadway.
Hampden Ave is an expressway beginning a few blocks west of here (then becomes a freeway farther west), but on both sides of this interchange, it has a light every block with a 35 speed limit.

Colorado Springs:
E Platte Ave (former US 24) & Academy Blvd (former CO 83).
Built when Platte carried US 24 east from downtown to Limon. Academy was CO 83 until that highway was moved east to Powers Blvd. Academy is a very busy commercial street.
S Circle Dr & Hancock Expwy.

I hope I didn't miss someone else's posting of these...
NC 49 at NC 109 (http://goo.gl/maps/H247e), at Old NC 49 (http://goo.gl/maps/gN2Id) and at US 64. There's also a grade separation that doesn't strictly appear to be dictated by topography [url=http://goo.gl/maps/EFXs6]here (http://goo.gl/maps/YSk2A), with room for a second roadway. I think that NC 49 was a pretty big deal when it was built in (I guess) the 40-'s-50's.
Others for South Jersey:
NJ 73 at NJ 70 (fairly new)
NJ 73 at US 30
US 322 at NJ 50
US 322 at NJ 54 - There had been discussions about making this a conventional intersection, as the overpass is nearing the end of its life, the clearance on 322 is barely 13' 6" in the left lane, and there's a serious hill to get above the railroad tracks nearby this interchange. In addition, due to those railroad tracks, there's no accel/decel lane on US 322 to and from the left. The last time I saw anything about that though was years ago.
Others in Delaware:
DE 7 at DE 58
DE 2 at Centerville Rd (although one can argue this is just an overpass...there's not much 'interchange' here unless you use nearby intersections)
There was talk about one at US 40 at DE 7, but DelDOT designed to shy away from that, much to the anger of nearby residents. This was after DelDOT approved another large strip mall near the intersection, which will add to the already congested conditions found there.
One more in central NJ:
NJ 33 Business and Monmouth County 55 (Kozloski Road), here:
http://goo.gl/maps/8YvUb
(The "bigger" road appears to be Kosloski Road, on the top side of the intersection, but even that's not barrier-divided.)

That looks like a prototype expressway where they didn't know anything about access control yet – much like portions of US 23 in southern and central Ohio. I also note that the 2-lane portions appear to have a ROW wide enough for future twinning.

Denver Avenue is old US 99W, right? It seems like this is actually part of a short freeway that starts to the north at I-5 and ends at Argyle Street, with a second interchange at Whitaker Road.

I'd also call it a freeway.
The Interstate Avenue-Broadway interchange is a remnant of another former freeway portion of US 99W, via the Steel Bridge and Harbor Drive.

Quaker Bridge Mall near Princeton, NJ would qualify. Even has a traffic light where the overpass meets the mall ring mode. The light may date back from when the mall opened in 1975, and operates in a fixed-time mode.

Like US 1 at Longwood Gardens or US 22 at the Monroeville Mall in, of course, Monroeville.
Not private/commercial, but I've always been intrigued by the set up at Atlantic City High School (http://goo.gl/maps/RhwSN).
VA 150 at Stony Point would fall into that category. The exit existed before the mall was built, but some commercial buildings were there then as well. The southbound exit is still posted on the ramp as a way to turn around onto northbound 150.
Exit 180A (Mall Road) on southbound I-71/I-75 in northern Kentucky?

That reminds me of one I saw in Topeka, Kansas the last time I was there. On US 24 in northwestern Topeka, there is an exit for the Goodyear plant, although I don't know for sure if there is a regular road there or not.
Isn't there a ginormous grocery store called Jungle jim's with its own exit from US 127 north of Cincinnati? I saw this on TV somewhere.
And we're definitely getting into territory for a new thread.
AT& T in Bedminster, NJ has an interchange with US 202 & 206.
Beneficial (Now UpJohn Pharmacuticals) has one with US 206 near Gladstone, NJ.
AT & T has one with North Maple Avenue at their Basking Ridge Office.
Six Flags has one with CR 537 outside of Great Adventure Park in Jackson, NJ.
How about this one: Reedman Auto Dealer in Langhorne, PA has an interchange with PA 213. This is an extreme rarity with a car dealer having an interchange with the road its on. Although, Reedman does own property on both sides of PA 213, that may be to grade separate himself from the local streets without having to leave his facility.
I did obtain my 1989 Chevy Beretta from across the street from the showroom, and had to cross that particular interchange to see my car pre purchase in the salesman's vehicle.

I wouldn't count either. US 9 in Poughkeepsie is most definitely a freeway, and I would count 44/55 as at least an expressway from just east of 9, across the bridge, and all the way to 9W, because, going west, after Jefferson St, you have the ramps to 9, the bridge, the eastbound toll plaza, and then the interchange with 9W. No intersections and no driveways.
US 9 and NY 113, however, I would count. (http://goo.gl/maps/Cetbu)

On a similar note, do Google Maps links include things like the labels on/off setting, or is that set by the browser I'm using? I don't know others' preference, but I always like to leave labels off, because usually what I'm looking at is exactly what the labels hide: i.e., the road itself!

I believe they do include which map style (roads / aerial / aerial w labels / terrain). Except there doesn't seem to be a way to link to nadir aerial view where 45° imagery is available. I'm not sure how much of that is actually followed by mobile website, Android app, iOS app, etc.
Most important thing is to remove the "q=...&" from the link, or better, remove the result marker from the map before generating a link.

To an extent, you're right, I was being foolish -- I remembered CR 522 for it's uniqueness (it's the only one the intersecting road crosses under, not over) and because it's the one I passed through most often. But it's far from your typical Jersey freeway, as there's a traffic light in only half a mile in either direction.
But yeah, there's so many on that section of US 9 (and NJ 18 after the freeway ends) that it's hardly notable. My bad.
I'm going to add a bunch of NJ 38 interchanges to this list (some I don't believe have been noted before, and I honestly don't feel like checking out all 13 pages again to verify):
@ NJ 73
@ NJ 70
@ NJ 41
@ Haddonfield Rd
@ Cuthbert Blvd
It can be argued that while Rt. 38 can be considered a Jersey Freeway, there are enough traffic lights along this road that these interchanges meet the criteria. And it's a rarity that TWO Jersey Freeways intersect each other at interchanges, but both 38 @ 70 and 38 @ 73 do just that.
I distinctly remember one on US 1 someplace between Southern Pines, NC and Sanford, NC. I do not know if that is where US 1 was bypassed with the new freeway alignment or not, but US 1 was two lanes and it interchanged with another two lane road.
US 6 and NY 17 in Harriman, NY where there is a half diamond that replaced an at grade intersection when US 6 and its grade level overlap with NY 17 was traded in with a more direct connection to freeway NY 17 (future I-86).
Also, I think I might of said this before, but if I did not a few miles east of Harriman you have the US 6 & NY 293 interchange with two 2 lane roads and the main one exiting itself EB and merging WB.
As far as US 9 being Jersey Freeway south of NJ 34, I agree with Kacie as it has many signals despite its many interchanges. However, north of NJ 34 to US 1 it is all jersey freeway there as lack of signals between Perrine Road in Old Bridge and Smith Street in Avenel. Technically for US 9 between the US 1 split and Smith Street it is part of the jersey freeway, but for US 1 being that a signal exists south of US 9, the same section is not.

Speaking of US 1 in North Carolina...
When I was a kid and we went to the Outer Banks on vacation, it was back when I-40 ended at Greensboro. A couple of years on the trip, my dad took NC 98 east out of Durham to connect with US 64 outside of Bunn. I remember some interchanges along that road even back then, and I would guess they're still there.
There is one coming to KY 18 (Burlington Pike) at KY 237 (Camp Ernst/North Bend Roads) in Burlington, KY. It will be a SPUI.
I do not know if this counts, but Jackson Street and Raymond Boulevard in Newark, NJ. Due to the fact Jackson Street crosses the Passaic River into Harrison, it is elevated some where Raymond Boulevard being at grade next to the river, crosses under Jackson and has a partial interchange with it.
Being Raymond Boulevard is one way westbound it does not need a full interchange and to go SB from WB there are side streets that can act like ramps. Ditto for NB to WB as well.

Which one will be the through route and which will have the traffic lights?
And more importantly, WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH? (Caps intentional).
We've got rural communities practically begging to have a new, modern, safe route built to connect them to the interstates and parkways, and they're wasting money on this?
Guess I should really read our six-year plan. On second thought, maybe I don't want to. The amount of stupid and wasteful projects (like the two proposed DDI's on I-75 on NKY's southern fringes) will probably cause me to stroke out.

A DDI conversion involves no new right-of-way and no new or widened bridges, while giving an increase in throughput when turning traffic is predominant.

I think at least one of the I-75 projects is going to involve more ROW as well as other costly improvements on the east side of the interstate.
As to this...
Quote...no new or widened bridges...
That depends on whether the route being diverged is on the bridge or beneath it, and the configuration of the crossing route. The I-44/MO 13 DDI in Springfield has the surface route on the bridge above the interstate. I don't remember if that bridge had to be widened or not.
^ Part of the attraction to building a DDI is that most often there is no need to reconstruct a bridge to accommodate it. In cases where the diverging road is on the bridge, the crossovers occur before and after the bridge on the abutments, so it can still be implemented on an existing bridge without widening.
I don't think I've seen this posted:

I was just thinking about this topic and coincidentally this old thread popped to the forefront.
Foy Ave and Lycoming Creek Rd. near US 15 in Williamsport, PA. The connection is sort of a modified trumpet if you look at it a certain way.
http://bit.ly/11zAFzW (http://bit.ly/11zAFzW)
For about 20 years, Foy Ave was the terminus of the US 15 freeway, and traffic was funneled here to and from Lycoming Creek Rd. Apparently even before that, these ramps served as an interchange between the now decommissioned PA 828 (Race St.) and US 15 when US 15 followed High St. through town.

Norfolk, not Virginia Beach. It looks like a tight urban diamond, but it functions as a SPUI where you can continue "straight" on the ramps. SPUI's probably close on the date...it's definitely been that way since 2001 when I was first stationed in Norfolk.

Yeah that's the configuration I've always remembered it being, I just never considered it a SPUI - and still don't.
http://goo.gl/maps/7UAwn
I don't recall how the signal phasing is set up, but it looks from the setup and the cars in the aerial imagery (streetview's too low quality) that the signals are set up just like a standard diamond.
In my book, if it's signaled like a diamond, and allows straight movements like a diamond, it's a diamond.
It's a SPUI if left turns can be set to go simultaneously. Straight movements have nothing to do with it.

Looks like one to me.
But they aren't. Like I said in my previous post, the signals do not appear to be timed like that. They are timed with straight+left in one direction, then the other. I'm only guessing this from aerial imagery, since it's been years since I've driven there, but you can see cars going straight and turning at the same time in the imagery.
Maybe it can be set up that way, since it seems the markings and signs allow it, but you can see right there in the imagery that it is not functioning as a traditional SPUI, which is why I still say it isn't one.
I'd consider it a hybrid, but not a true SPUI.
It's a SPUI that doesn't walk the walk.
Why can't a SPUI operate with split phasing some of the time?
Unless I missed it, I can't believe nobody has mentioned Park Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan near Grand Central Terminal. Unfortunately, the northbound off-ramp has been closed and is only used for bicycles now.
US 31 (SR 6) at the General Motors Spring Hill Assembly south gate. There is an interchange there.
QuoteMaybe it can be set up that way, since it seems the markings and signs allow it, but you can see right there in the imagery that it is not functioning as a traditional SPUI, which is why I still say it isn't one.
It's functioning as a single intersection, instead of two. By definition, that's a SPUI.
The ramps may have split-phase timing, but US 58 doesn't. Both lefts at the same time on 58.

Functioning as a single intersection is not the only thing that makes a SPUI a SPUI.
The original SPUI, at US-19 & FL-60 in Clearwater, does not have through movements on the surface-level road. I would consider the design of
that interchange to be the definition of what a SPUI is. Adding through movements for the surface-level road changes things. You might call it a Modified SPUI, but don't call it a SPUI.
Is three-phase signalling even possible with those additional movements? I'm no expert, but the only way I can see making a SPUI that's been modified in that way function as a single intersection is to add a fourth signal phase.

It may be a borderline case with three interchanges in such a short span, but I think you'd be hard pressed to consider 15th any sort of expressway. It's not divided through one and a half of the interchanges, and there's no restriction of access between the southern two interchanges. (Nor would there be between the northern interchanges, but since it's going over a bridge, there's no adjacent property.) Also note how the streets a block or two north and south of Leary intersect the ramps to/from 15th.

He meant McDonald Drive at US40 and US59...
I'd count that as an "interchange", yes, but close to not. On the other hand, McDonald Drive is on the border of being an expressway, so this might not fit the "conventional roads" criterion of the thread.
I suppose since this example is borderline by two different criteria, that would literally make it a "corner case".

Looks rather SPUish, but it's hard to tell from older aerials whether it was always so, or only after the bridge was rebuilt in 1990.
Many of the examples listed don't allow for all movements, but there is a grade separation and at least one ramp connecting one street to the other.

That Tyburn Rd is questionable regarding whether it's "conventional". Clearly designed with some expressway characteristics, though property access was allowed in a few places.
I don't think any of these have been mentioned... All are in PA
PA 41 with Limestone Rd. just north or the DE line (Limestone Rd becomes DE 7 after crossing the state line. (Modified diamond)
Old US 322 (Atherton St) at Alt US 220 (trumpet) east of State College
Debatable, but PA 61 at 11/15 (presently a trumpet), and PA 147 in the Selinsgrove/Sunbury area
Also debatable, US 322 at PA 72 near Cornwall. Both surface roads, but merge and form a quasi-expressway for about a mile before splitting back into surface roads. Additionally, that brief quasi-expressway has an interchange with PA 117.
Also, soon-to be, but very debatable, US 220 at Auction rd, just north of I-80 (future modified diamond). Presently an at-grade, but aside from that, 220 is essentially a super-2, so take that as you will.

Here's a rural interchange in Wyocena, WI between WIS 16 and WIS 22. The interchange was built when WIS 16 was US 16, and there were initially bigger plans to upgrade US 16 at the time because it was a shortcut route between Portage and Milwaukee as an effective bypass of the Madison Area. There is also a mapped corridor to make the route shorter northwest of Watertown, but those plans are scrapped, even though it still remains mapped. The interstates efficiently moved traffic and not only did they stop this road from being upgraded, US 16 was decommissioned and became a state highway in Wisconsin.

That interchange is in the City of Industry.
There is a similar interchange a few miles west at Valley/Azusa.
A lot of the LA area examples have a grade separation due to having railroad tracks right next to the street. The tracks near Valley Blvd are one of the main routes for transcontinental freight trains heading from the ports to the rest of the US. If you want to have a grade separation of Nogales or Soto or Azusa from the tracks, you will necessarily have to have a grade separation with Valley as well. Then, some road can be constructed to connect the two - forming an interchange between two "streets"
I found one that surprised me the other day. It's a junction if what are basically two farm roads in a plains state.

There are a bunch along US 20 between Albany and Buffalo, including NY 166, NY 14, NY 19, Genesee CR 15, and NY 98. The first two and CR 15 are due to terrain and NY 19 is due to a rail line that parallels NY 19 between NY 19A and Le Roy.

The 2 interchanges are pretty far apart. The 2 may have been part of a long range corridor plan at one point, but nothing more than that. WISDOT is only committed to improving WIS 16 east of WIS 26, and only plans on maintaining the road as is west of WIS 26. WIS 16 between WIS 26 and I-94 was just added as a 2030 connector route by WISDOT, so that route will eventually be improved over time. After the Watertown Bypass of Wis 26 was built, an interchange with Business 26 was built with WIS 16 so the DOT must feel that WIS 16 carries significant traffic to justify the interchange. Wis 33 and County LL in Port Washington along with Wis 124 and Business 29 in Chippewa Falls were 2 interchanges downgraded to roundabouts, which shows that they're committed to keeping the WIS 16 Watertown Bypass a high quality road. Also notice that the bridges and the intersections along that bypass continue to be improved, while the Wis 16 and Wis 22 interchange looks like it's in rough shape with the original concrete and bridge deck.

Not sure I'd count those US 72 examples around Scottsboro. US 72 is basically an expressway in that area, and they tend to have a mix of at-grades and grade-separated interchanges. See the other ARC corridors, especially in West Virginia and Virginia, for good examples.

I discovered this one a few weeks ago as part of my ongoing exploration of paved county roads in Sedgwick and the surrounding counties. At the time I suspected the grade separation was built when this length of SW 20th Street was still part of K-254. However, while HistoricAerials.com is not being cooperative at present, I can find no evidence this intersection was ever on K-254. The 1959 aerial photo (oldest available) shows it as a flat intersection while, just to the west, the road that Google Maps now shows as "Old K-254" swings north to converge on the current expressway alignment of K-254.
In the old days, when it was still a two-lane state highway, K-254 was on top of the east-west section line road known as 61st Street North in Sedgwick County and SW 20th Street in Butler County, and ran straight through Benton and Towanda. This is largely still true of the expressway relocation, which was built in the mid-1990's, except that both Benton and Towanda are now bypassed with "Old K-254" former alignments. However, the 1959 aerial shows that K-254 swung north in Towanda (well west of Ohio Street Road) to enter El Dorado along Central Avenue, and I suspect this was its original alignment since the K-254 designation was created in the mid-1950's. (Side observation: east-west county road numbering in Butler County is based on north/south distance to Parallel Street, which overlaps the Fifth Standard Parallel South and continues in Sedgwick County as 77th Street North. The bulk of K-254 runs parallel to it but two miles south, while Central Avenue in El Dorado is also parallel to it but runs half a mile south.)
As for the grade separation at SW 20th Street and Ohio Street Road, this can have been built only by Butler County, though why it was done is a bit of a mystery. There are a few clues, though. The 1959 aerial shows Ohio Street Road making a spread-out wye on the south side of SW 20th Street, while the 1979 topographic map shows pavement on Ohio Street Road ending at the wye--north of it, it was just gravel. The 2002 aerial shows the grade separation in its current configuration and Ohio Street Road paved all the way north to its current intersection with relocated K-254.
I suspect that the northern mile and a half of Ohio Street Road was paved as a complement to the K-254 relocation and widening. It is uncharacteristically extravagant for Butler County to put in a grade separation instead of a four-way stop, and this may have been done to avoid creating new stop conditions for straight-through traffic on SW 20th Street. (There would have been pre-existing stop signs on either arm of the wye for northbound traffic going from Ohio Street Road to SW 20th Street in either direction, but these would have affected turning traffic only.)
Ohio Street Road gets its internally redundant name from the fact that it is the county road extension of Ohio Street in Augusta. It is currently a convenient paved shortcut between US 54 and K-254, though using it entails some knowledge of Augusta streets since it passes under the US 54 railroad viaduct instead of intersecting it on the level. In time it will become much less convenient because Augusta has no meaningful planning control and is sprawling north along Ohio Street.

Amazingly, MPO wants to rebuild it... but just to widen Winchester underneath. At the very least it should be SPUI-fied.

Calaveras Blvd. (CA 237) and Main St. in Milpitas, CA connect via a folded-diamond interchange; the Calaveras/237 bridge over Main Street also crosses over the UP Milpitas branch RR line as well as the under-construction BART San Jose extension. Many years ago there used to be a terrific BBQ joint called Quincy's on Main St., essentially under the bridge; it's now unfortunately closed.
Lindbergh Blvd at Olive, which is MO 340. There are others at Watson, Page, Midland, and St. Charles Rock Road (MO 180).
I think Maryland routes 150 and 151 in eastern Baltimore County. Also, U.S. Route 40 has a lot in Baltimore and Harford counties, and I would even throw in Harford's Bel Air Bypass (U.S. Route 1) because while it has an interchange at Maryland Route 24/924 north of Bel Air, it also has a traffic light where MD-24 splits off to head into the Bel Air retail area, and toward I-95 and Edgewood.
Oh, and Rhode Island Avenue at Irving Street in northeast Washington, D.C.
Here's one in Youngstown, Ohio, just north of Youngstown State University in an old industrial section of town.
Intersection of McGuffey Rd. (US 62 on that stretch) and Andrews Avenue, grade separated both for terrain and other use (railroad tracks, creek).

Anybody else catch the "ghost ramp" within the 1/2 cloverleaf of US-62 & US-422? I wonder what purpose that would have been for?
There are a whole batch of them on Long Island, especially in Suffolk County. For example:
* Jericho Turnpike (NY 25) and Hillside Avenue (NY 25B)
* Jericho Turnpike (NY 25) and NY 106/NY 107
* Sunrise Highway (NY 27) and Merrick Road (Nassau CR 27)
* NY 110 and NY 109
* Woodside Avenue (Suffolk CR 99) and Waverly Avenue (Suffolk CR 61)
* Patchogue-Mount Sinai Road (Suffolk CR 83) and Bicycle Path
* Captain Daniel Roe Highway (Suffolk CR 111) and East Moriches-Riverhead Road (Suffolk CR 51)
I haven't included any of the interchanges on Nicolls Road (Suffolk CR 97) or Cross River Drive (Suffolk CR 105) because those are expressway-like enough that I wouldn't necessarily classify them as conventional roads.

Answer here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unused_highways_in_Ohio#Youngstown
New York has quite a few. Some are due to terrain or railroad tracks, but others don't have a purpose other than to remove cross traffic. Other than those mentioned downstate, here are a few notable ones:
-3 on US 20 between NY 98 and NY 19, inclusive. All of these date to when US 20 was upgraded in the 1930s.
-NY 2 at NY 22 (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.7516021,-73.3462134,531m/data=!3m1!1e3). Just to the west of here, NY 2 descends from the Rensselaer Plateau, so the bridge reduces the grade for through traffic.
-2 on NY 9H in Kinderhook/Valatie (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3998499,-73.6854725,2911m/data=!3m1!1e3).
-NY 9G at NY 308 in Rhinebeck (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9377084,-73.8834164,479m/data=!3m1!1e3). This one has no obvious purpose whatsoever.

SR 42 and the Powers Highway, both 2 lane highways, are connected with an interchange.
US 101 and SR 18 just north of Lincoln City has the same deal.
North of Gold Beach on 2-lane US 101 is an interchange that hooks up with the street going into the Rogue Hills development.

Two off the top of my head in Utah:
-US 89 and SR 51 (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.1568458,-111.6123921,661m/data=!3m1!1e3), Springville: historically, this was the split of US 89 and US 91, and it was grade separated in 1959.

When the railroad was removed in the early 1960s, SR 106 was moved from Main Street to 200 West and the old railroad alignment, using the existing bridge to interchange with US 89. 106 has since been renumbered to 68, but the interchange has not changed.

How about UT 29 and UT 57? It's a diamond interchange between two double-lane mining roads that lead to nowhere. About as "conventional" as a pair of roads in an interchange can get.

Just looks like it is to divide access to the center and traffic headed further up to the observatory.

Cool. Any other interchanges like that?
I saw a video today on the KYTC District 6 (https://www.facebook.com/KYTC.District6/) page highlighting a new SPUI at the KY 18/KY 237 intersection. Not sure why they built a grade-separated facility here; there used to be a traffic light, and there are other signals on both routes.
And this made me think of the KY 4/US 60 SPUI in Lexington (New Circle is not a freeway here) and US 60/KY 676/US 421 in Frankfort, as well as US 421/US 127/KY 2261 in Frankfort.

The interchange area itself does not have any freeway connections, but TX-482 becomes a freeway 1/2 mile south of there.
That small arterial section serves a freeway movement, but nonetheless is still an arterial, not freeway interchange.

In Riis Park, NY, Beach Channel Drive and Rockaway Beach Blvd. (two parallel roads!) have an interchange. Shore Front Parkway has one that might not be one at 108th Street, and used to have one at Cross Bay Parkway before it was replaced with an intersection and boardwalk enterance.

In this case the road used to end at the Visitor's Center, and was later extended to Johnson Ridge. They didn't want to reroute and re-grade the entire road, so the built the interchange.

Those would both count if grade separation is enough to constitute an interchange.
Although one of them does have an uninterrupted connection to a the tollways and expressways East of here, these are all basically conventional roads. This is probably one of the most unique designs for a cloverleaf with a diagonal route running through it.

Yeah, and I guess the only reason I count 83 as conventional road is the presence of so many stoplights and the fact that there are businesses along it in plenty of spots in the area of this interchange. Further South is definitely more expressway and even borderline freeway in a few patches between 88 and 55. The one I actually think is more borderline right here is Roosevelt Road between here and 294.

Oh, look: overhead signs! Other states, listen up:
this is how you handle complex junctions with arterial highways. Use some good friggin' signs and put them overhead when you have closely spaced exits! You don't have to reserve overhead signs for freeways; you can use them on non-freeways, too!
This is one of many reasons why I love New Jersey's roads. :)

Oh, look: overhead signs! Other states, listen up: this is how you handle complex junctions with arterial highways. Use some good friggin' signs and put them overhead when you have closely spaced exits! You don't have to reserve overhead signs for freeways; you can use them on non-freeways, too!
This is one of many reasons why I love New Jersey's roads. :)
The two examples I listed above have adequate overhead signage.

I'm not saying other states never do a good job, Virginia included, but this is a pretty crappy way to sign a major turn-off from a friggin' expressway:

https://goo.gl/maps/omFJX6MAbNTDkjYC7
And here are a couple of things in my home state I don't like:
Not the best way to sign a cloverleaf on an expressway: https://goo.gl/maps/SFRhyi1mmLBEXUny5
This is not how I would sign a major decision point on an arterial highway, but at least they got the "RIGHT LANE EXIT ONLY" message in there: https://goo.gl/maps/5GYDBRwmKDqZRL7eA
Long story short, all of the above examples would be best served by overheads.
The MN-23/9th Ave interchange (https://www.google.com/maps/@45.5573071,-94.162185,439m/data=!3m1!1e3) in downtown St. Cloud, MN comes to mind. Not sure I'd quite call it an "interchange" but it's grade-separated and it has some (very tight 10 MPH (https://goo.gl/maps/XfYtbLW7ELCUqoXt9)) ramps. The fact that there are sidewalks throughout the interchange and even houses on the easternmost ramp probably disqualifies it, though.
Some examples from the KC area:

US 56/169/Shawnee Mission Parkway from just east of US 69/Metcalf Avenue to just east of Roe Avenue is an expressway, although if you consider expressways to be a spectrum rather than singularly discrete category, it's pretty close to the line between expressway and conventional road. Also, as I've mentioned, that's a terrible way to sign a cloverleaf. KDOT should really use the expressway standards for cloverleaf guide signs with overhead signs in all directions at that location.

US 69/Metcalf Avenue is an expressway between US 56/169 and I-35/635. Also, that interchange is horrible. There's probably no good way to improve the east side of it, but the west side of it is unnecessarily dangerous, and it's been that way since the 50s. (A couple of ideas to fix it: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=3618.msg2509154#msg2509154 and https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=3618.msg2509880#msg2509880 .)

MO Secondary W/Bannister Road is an expressway for a brief stretch there.
I skimmed thru the whole thread, looking to see if another Chicagoland example was mentioned. I didn't see it, but if it was already mentioned, I missed it
IL 56/Butterfield Rd and Highland Ave in Downers Grove is a pretty standard SPUI Interchange, with Butterfield getting the "freeway" -style ramp ends treatment and Highland getting the Traffic Signal Controlled ramp ends
Further east and west IL 56 is much more freeway-like, but in this immediate area it is very much a signalized arterial

Depending on how loosely "interchange" is being defined, there's this (https://www.google.com/maps/place/St+Cloud,+MN/@42.9048366,-78.2546412,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x52b48aa982cb02f5:0x55b4e60ed08b7f44!8m2!3d45.5579343!4d-94.1632605!5m1!1e1) at US 20/NY 98, and this (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0953999,-77.6121287,18z/data=!5m1!1e1) at NY 15A/BHTL Rd. Those would both count if grade separation is enough to constitute an interchange.
Adding to this, there's also this cloverleaf (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9469734,-76.9791393,17.04z) between the otherwise 2-lane NY 14 and NY 96.

Quote from: kphoger on October 05, 2015, 02:07:29 PMI found one that surprised me the other day. It's a junction if what are basically two farm roads in a plains state.
SW Ohio Street Road & SW 20th Street (https://goo.gl/maps/PnMhDftVuBk) in rural Kansas, just west of El Dorado.
Might be because of terrain, so the north-south road doesn't have to dip down too much.
I discovered this one a few weeks ago as part of my ongoing exploration of paved county roads in Sedgwick and the surrounding counties. At the time I suspected the grade separation was built when this length of SW 20th Street was still part of K-254. However, while HistoricAerials.com is not being cooperative at present, I can find no evidence this intersection was ever on K-254. The 1959 aerial photo (oldest available) shows it as a flat intersection while, just to the west, the road that Google Maps now shows as "Old K-254" swings north to converge on the current expressway alignment of K-254.
In the old days, when it was still a two-lane state highway, K-254 was on top of the east-west section line road known as 61st Street North in Sedgwick County and SW 20th Street in Butler County, and ran straight through Benton and Towanda. This is largely still true of the expressway relocation, which was built in the mid-1990's, except that both Benton and Towanda are now bypassed with "Old K-254" former alignments. However, the 1959 aerial shows that K-254 swung north in Towanda (well west of Ohio Street Road) to enter El Dorado along Central Avenue, and I suspect this was its original alignment since the K-254 designation was created in the mid-1950's. (Side observation: east-west county road numbering in Butler County is based on north/south distance to Parallel Street, which overlaps the Fifth Standard Parallel South and continues in Sedgwick County as 77th Street North. The bulk of K-254 runs parallel to it but two miles south, while Central Avenue in El Dorado is also parallel to it but runs half a mile south.)
As for the grade separation at SW 20th Street and Ohio Street Road, this can have been built only by Butler County, though why it was done is a bit of a mystery. There are a few clues, though. The 1959 aerial shows Ohio Street Road making a spread-out wye on the south side of SW 20th Street, while the 1979 topographic map shows pavement on Ohio Street Road ending at the wye--north of it, it was just gravel. The 2002 aerial shows the grade separation in its current configuration and Ohio Street Road paved all the way north to its current intersection with relocated K-254.
I suspect that the northern mile and a half of Ohio Street Road was paved as a complement to the K-254 relocation and widening. It is uncharacteristically extravagant for Butler County to put in a grade separation instead of a four-way stop, and this may have been done to avoid creating new stop conditions for straight-through traffic on SW 20th Street. (There would have been pre-existing stop signs on either arm of the wye for northbound traffic going from Ohio Street Road to SW 20th Street in either direction, but these would have affected turning traffic only.)
Ohio Street Road gets its internally redundant name from the fact that it is the county road extension of Ohio Street in Augusta. It is currently a convenient paved shortcut between US 54 and K-254, though using it entails some knowledge of Augusta streets since it passes under the US 54 railroad viaduct instead of intersecting it on the level. In time it will become much less convenient because Augusta has no meaningful planning control and is sprawling north along Ohio Street.
While detouring due to a bridge that was out for reconstruction on Saturday, I ended up using the craziest path through this interchange while my wife and I were out running deliveries. This path totally defies common sense and, at each turn along the way, I was never quite sure if my next turn was even a possibility.

Oh yeah, there
is a permanent Michigan Left in Kansas! I had forgotten about that one! I assume they decided a conventional left turn would have been unsafe there, so they went to the expense of dividing the road and building that median U-turn.

Especially cool because QR U is unpaved on both sides of the interchange.
(There's another interchange like it 12 miles to the west, and another one 11 miles to the east.)
Colorado Springs has at least 3: Platte Blvd/Academy Blvd, Platte Blvd and Peterson Rd, and Austin Bluffs Pkway and Union.
Powers Blvd is right on the edge of an expressway. The northern portion is completely limited access, but the southern portion is basically a normal road. Platte Blvd and Woodman Rd stand out as oddities, as they are interchanges isolated from the limited access portion of the road. However, this will change, as Research Pkway is getting a new DDI, making the interchange at woodman the new southernmost interchange.

i've only been through cos a few times, and it stuck me as odd that they seem to have a lot of ... for want of a better term.. 'pretend freeways' -- city streets that are sort of freeway-like.

Colorado Springs area tho I can't come up with anything specific
Powers has some up north, though maybe that is more of a freeway. there is also some on SR 115. Also, Austin Bluffs and Union, as well as Academy and the road that goes to the airport. Also, Platte has some.
Lorne Street/RR 55 and Big Nickel Road/RR 34 in Sudbury (https://www.google.com/maps/place/46%C2%B028'19.2%22N+81%C2%B002'21.5%22W/@46.4719947,-81.0415017,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x4d2eff36c6f132ed:0x668dd5b8879c8cf8!2sGreater+Sudbury,+ON,+Canada!3b1!8m2!3d46.4917317!4d-80.993029!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d46.4719913!4d-81.0393126), Ontario.
One I've been on a couple of times yet somehow forgot about until now:

Saw this mentioned in the Freeways of Los Angeles facebook group and somehow I hadn't noticed it before:
Temple Street at Figueroa Street (former US 6/Route 11) in Los Angeles, notable because it is very close to the Four-Level Interchange:
