There's also 4 miles on I-90 WB on the NYS Thruway on the Exit 38 (CR 57) advance sign.  I want to say at one time there was a "2 miles" on I-90 EB on the NYS Thruway on the Exit 37 (Electronics Pkwy) advance sign, but that one went away with the last sign replacement.

Nebraska posts these on most exits on I-80; I believe there is a "NEXT EXIT 2 MILES" (if not 2, for sure 3 or 4 miles).
I'd guess one there would qualify for the shortest distance. I'm not sure why they use them in that fashion, as it seems to defeat the purpose of drawing attention to truly long gaps.

At 51 miles, I think the exit for Yeehaw Junction on Florida's Turnpike might be the winner for longest distance, though there's a longer distances (especially out west) for services.

Until the BGS's at that point were modified to be more MUTCD compliant, an overhead gantry on the NJ Turnpike NB read "Next Exit 3 Miles", just before Exit 12.

Now with Kissimmee Park Road interchange 4 mils ahead it makes the gap shorter.   However, cash tolls were still 51 miles out, as the Kissimmee Park ramp is AET, but now Orlando area on the Turnpike is all AET so the gap is reduced for all to 41 miles.

Also to note that from SR 60 at Yeehaw Junction to SR 70 at Fort Pierce is 41 miles between the two.

In Brazil, it was, at least back in the 1980s, common to put "Saidas Proximas" on most Exit Sequence Signs, so, if you want to go for short, it might be well to look there. I was last there in 1987, they may well have refined or changed the practice since then. I only remember the sign on the road from Downtown to the International Airport and the shortest distance that I saw was "4 km". ... And I only remember that because my cabbie nearly had an accident from someone merging. I was reminded of the proper phrasing of how to question the circumstances of someone's birth in Portuguese. I'm not sure that the cabbie knew that I knew how to speak Portuguese or he may not have been so forthright in his questioning of the conception of the other driver. I don't see how he could possibly know what the other driver's mother did for a living!
