Off the top of my head I do not recall another road where ordinary at-grade intersections have "exit numbers" assigned to them.

The West Side Highway (NY 9A) on Manhattan has a number of those.

NY 17, Garden State Parkway (both planned for upgrades)

Ah, haven't been on the former in years and I've only used the part of the GSP from I-195 north to the Thruway within the past 30 years so I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

I believe posting intersections with exit numbers on major highways is a standard Nova Scotia thing.

In the converse of the situation posed in this thread, the Eisenhower Avenue exit from the "Thru" carriageway on the Beltway does not bear an exit number. The only other non-numbered exits I can think of on the main lines of Virginia's Interstates (i.e., not counting the barrier-separated HOV facilities on Shirley Highway and in Hampton Roads, especially as I haven't been to Hampton Roads since 2006) are the two left-lane exits on westbound I-66 at Monument Drive and Stringfellow Road. Those used to be HOV-only and not open at non-HOV hours, but it was changed during the past few months so that the offramps are open at all times other than the morning rush hour but are HOV-restricted during the westbound HOV hours.

I-370 in Maryland lacked exit numbers until earlier this year.  When the first segment of MD 200 was opened, I-370 was finally given exit numbers, leaving I-395 as the only Interstate in Maryland without them.

As well as Grand Concourse in the Bronx and Linden/Conduit Blvds in brooklyn

When the exit numbering project is completed, all freeway exits within California will be numbered.
Leave it to California to go from one extreme (no exit numbers with only a couple exceptions) to the other.

Oregon: Pretty much every freeway has exit numbers.
US 26 along the Sunset (53-73). Ross Island Interchange; OR 35 interchanges unnumbered (and the Mt Hood Hwy has a different internal highway number anyway).
US 97 through Bend. Not sure about Klamath Falls.
OR 217 numbered north to south.
OR 569 numbered south to north to east.
OR 18 has at least two numbered interchanges on the Willamina-Sheridan Bypass. The new freeway segment near Grande Ronde doesn't yet, but the OR 22 duplex may have something to do with it...
OR 126 past the I-105... not sure. I'll investigate (and clinch) in January.
Delta Hwy is Lane County maintained/owned.

Washington: At least WA 14 has exit numbers from Vancouver to Camas.

WA 3 & 16 had them added around the time the new Narrows Bridge was opened, although the further north (west?) you go, the less consistently they're signed.

US 97 at the OR-422 interchange near Chiloquin is signed Exit 247. OR-140 has a numbered interchange in Klamath Falls serving the Klamath Falls Airport. That is signed Exit 3.

OR-22 has a freeway segment from Salem east with numbered interchanges. From Exits 1A-B (I-5) to Aumsville, which is Exit 12, I believe. OR-22 also has an Exit 16 west of Salem at the OR-99W interchange near Monmouth.

Could you imagine getting directions from a guy with tourettes?

In Ohio, SR-2 in Lorain County is signed with exit numbers between I-90 & SR-60. 
Problem is, the mileage is based on the distance from the Erie/Huron County line and not the distance from the OH/IN Border. :confused:

Also in Lorain County, SR-10 is signed with exit numbers between US-20/SR-57/SR-301 in Elyria to I-80/I-480 by the Ohio Turnpike with mileage based on distance from the US-20 split.

Problem here is that it's only a distance of about 5 miles, then the freeway resets back to zero when I-480 takes over.  It would have made more sense here to start with the signed exit numbers at the beginning of the US-20/SR-10 freeway in Oberlin, base the mileage on the distance of US-20 from the OH/IN border, and then continue the numbering the additional 4 miles to I-480, even though US-20 has already left the freeway and is traveling regular full-access roads to almost Cleveland.   

This would have avoided the confusion of TWO different Exit 3's (SR-83 & Stearns Road) and TWO different Exit 1's (US-20/SR-57/SR-301 and I-80/Ohio Turnpike) within 5 miles of each other on the same freeway :banghead:

SR 8 in Akron, SR 11 near Youngstown, and SR 562 near Cincinnati also have exit numbers as well, even though neither of them are interstates.

Exit numbering for non-interstate expressways vary from one ODOT district to another. One district will have exit numbers either resetting at county lines or the duration of the route up to the state line.

I'm blanking but there was/is some portion of road in Brooklyn or Queens that had a couple of at grade exit numbers...I wish I could remember.

Grand Concourse and Linden Boulevard (NY 27) both had them.

Ah, Linden Boulevard was the one I was thinking of.
