Is this ok? Do you tolerate this?

You get the idea. Your thoughts?

Not with two traffic signals south of 14 before you even get to the interchange...

QuoteUS 14 at US 52/63

MnDOT classifies 14 as expressway, not freeway, despite the interchange at West Circle.

QuoteUS 63/MN 30 at I-90 (technicality)

Not a freeway and with multiple at-grades between 48th and I-90.

QuoteUS 10/61 at I-90/US 12 (technicality)

How?  There are multiple traffic signals between 494 and 94, including two fairly close to 94.

QuoteMN 101 at I-94

Southbound only.  And even then, there's a signal at Diamond Lake Rd before one gets to 94.

(Your other Minnesota examples, though, are legit.)


Another example not mentioned yet:  MS 7 at US 278/MS 6 in Oxford.

US 89

I hate these. It suggests laziness and a lack of effort by the DOT to build a whole freeway and then not build a full system interchange  where it intersects another freeway.

US 40 at I-80: it’s a SPUI. There are two direct ramps, but that’s not enough.
UT 154 (Bangerter Highway) at I-15: Bangerter is now a freeway from I-15 to 2700 West, but it ends at a SPUI on I-15.
US 89 at I-84: 89 is a freeway from Antelope Dr all the way up to 84, but the 84/89 interchange has traffic lights and at-grade intersections.

VA 37 at I-81 south of Winchester.

WV 43 at I-68 near Morgantown.

US 29 at I-64 Charlottesville?

If a freeway ends at an at-grade, then it can't also end at a freeway - because the at-grade makes it not a freeway.
Does that not seem like a logical conclusion?  :hmmm:

(ETA: Future US 219 (freeway) and I-86 will be a diamond interchange, is this along the lines of what the OP is looking for?)

Except in Tulsa, where two freeways end at the same at-grade intersection.

How about I-676 with itself?  FHWA sees it all as one route, but PennDOT and NJDOT see them as separate.  They are connected by an at-grade interchange in Center City Philadelphia

US 5 and MA 57 freeways.  MA 57 ends in a traffic circle.

In AZ, Loop 303 at I-17. Freeway-to-freeway ramps are planned sometime in the distant future. For now, it works. Traffic isn't too bad at this intersection.

AZ 143 at I-10 was also mentioned. Only one of the four movements (EB 10 to NB 143) requires going through a traffic signal. There have been plans in the past to completely rebuild this interchange, but only minor improvements are scheduled anytime soon. Biggest improvement needed is a flyover to replace the loop ramp connecting SB 143 to EB 10.

Was worse - WIS-29 used to interchange with US-51 at the West split at a diamond until 2008.  Now that's a Y with flyovers.  (also: U-51:I-39?)

US 29 at I-64 Charlottesville?
No need for a question mark, exiting from the freeway to I-64 E requires crossing traffic from US-29 N to I-64 W.

Others I've ventured past:
The VA-199 freeway's northern end at I-64 is a nonstandard parclo.
Wade Ave. at I-440 in Raleigh.
Summerlin Pkwy at CC 215 in West Las Vegas. (Would also include the beltway's current northern end at I-15 near Nellis, but it's not yet a freeway at that point)
Slightly complicated, but FL 826's ending at Florida's Turnpike in the Golden Glades interchange is effectively a parclo.
The northern end of I-99 in PA at I-80.

US 190 with I-35 in Temple, TX.  One of TXDOT's ubiquitous volleyballs (yes, I consider them at-grade intersections -- since signal-controlled movement governs transit from one facility to another).

....

I could see why the question mark might be deemed appropriate because US-29 isn't a freeway south of there. I don't know whether this is what the OP had in mind because I didn't look at a map to see the points the OP mentioned–does "end" mean the road has to end, or can a freeway downgrade to another class of road at an "at-grade interchange" while qualifying for this thread? (Looking at a map might well answer this, of course. I just didn't feel like doing so!)

Either way, something similar to that section of US-29 (a very short freeway running only from Emmet Street to I-64) for purposes of this thread might be the interchange between VA-286 (the Fairfax County Parkway) and I-95 in Newington. VA-286 has a short freeway segment northwest of that point up to Rolling Road and the Franconia—Springfield Parkway; the interchange with I-95 is essentially a cloverleaf except that the ramp on the southeast side from northbound I-95 comes up to a traffic light because Loisdale Road is on the far side. VA-286 isn't a freeway east of this point, so I'm not entirely sure this is the sort of thing the OP had in mind.

I see how this is misleading. Sorry. What I meant is more like "freeways that terminate at other freeways but don't have a freeway-to-freeway interchange"

vdeane

Does I-95/FL 202 still count?  It's a modified parclo, though Florida appears to have done a good job of ensuring traffic between the freeways would never encounter a signal.

US 15/PA 581 has become one.  I believe PA is ready to do the same to PA 283/I-283.

A-20/A-520

A-5/ON 417 will become this if the MTO uses their preferred tunnel alternative.

Is this also like US 75/US 82 in Sherman, TX?

The configuration is similar, but both US 75 and US 82 are through movements in Sherman; US 190 needs to exit its freeway self onto the frontage roads in order to make the right-angle (left WB, right EB) turns needed for route continuation onto and off of southward I-35, which it uses south to Belton, where US 190 turns west with the nascent I-14.
