Salt Lake.
Various Utah cities do not count, the block number is the Street Name.

The US 19 freeway in Pinellas County, Florida has block numbers on guide signs routinely posted for the accompanying frontage roads.

The type of signage being talked about is as in the photographs below:

Lake Shore Drive (CDOT):


Kennedy Expressway (IDOT):
"If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." - Ramsay Bolton, "Game of Thrones"

"Symbolic of his struggle against reality." - Reg, "Monty Python's Life of Brian"

IIRC, NB I-55 in St. Louis has block numbers on advance signage to differentiate the two exits for S. Broadway. Not sure if that counts, though, since I think the BGS's themselves just say Broadway.
Davenport, IA -> Valparaiso, IN -> Ames, IA -> Orlando, FL -> Gainesville, FL -> Evansville, IN

I swear it's done in Michigan somewhere. But I'm probably mistaken. Either thinking of Chicago doing that or other MI oddities, like having clearance signs on a bunch of the overpasses.

The block numbers show up on NB I-55:  Interchange sequence sign, at Exit 204, and at Exit 206B



WB US 40 through St. Louis also has a block number for one of the exits to Market Street.  Streetview
