Roads named for businesses with an exit off a freeway

[SkyPesos]

Most roads named for businesses are small roads that serves said business and ends at an arterial. But how many of those roads named for business can we think of have an exit off a freeway? The freeway doesn't have to be an interstate.

Here's my example: I-71 Exit 121 to Ikea Way

[hotdogPi]

They're everywhere. Advertising isn't allowed on freeway signs (except logo signs), but having the business or shopping center as the name of the road is a very common loophole.

However, that is a very misleading sign. It implies that to access Ikea, you must use the second lane from the right, but if you want Ikea Way, you must use the third lane from the right. And the two directions of OH 750 are accessed by the right and second from right lanes, but not the third from right.

Chrysler Drive exit from I-75 in Auburn Hills, MI
(Yes, it kept the original name.  No DaimlerChrysler, no LCA, no whatever it is now.)

Ok how many examples would be left if I exclude shopping malls from this thread to keep it more exclusive? Depending how you interpret this thread, there's multiple examples in Columbus: Polaris off the sign in the op, Easton off I-270 Exit 33, and Tuttle off I-270 exit 15. And then there's cases like Kenwood Mall and Kenwood Rd in Cincinnati; did the mall or road come first?

And for the actual BGS, think it has been discussed on the forum before, and there's a general agreement that it's poorly signed. Honestly, Ohio's old way with dancing arrows before it was disallowed looks better than this. An APL is another good option, but Ohio doesn't use APL signs outside of Toledo for some reason.

A relative new interchange on !-85 in Georgia is exit 6 - Kia Blvd for their new assembly plant.

[CoreySamson]

Nissan Pkwy in Canton, MS came to mind after seeing the Kia post.

Coca-Cola Drive on MD 100 in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

The bottling plant is still nearby, but no longer directly on Coca-Cola Drive.

One that was updated: Stephens Drive off MN 100 in St. Louis Park, MN was named for the Stephens Buick dealership, and when that dealership was bought and rebranded as Westside Voikswagen, the street name was changed to Westside Drive.

Exit 89 off I-20 in Alabama:
Mercedes Dr

Exit 189 off I-26 in South Carolina:
Volvo Car Dr (brand new when GSV went through)

Exit 9 off I-75 in Tennessee:
Volkswagen Dr

All three (plus Kia and Nissan referenced upthread) are examples of foreign automakers opening plants in the American south. Kinda off topic, but do southern states offer some sort of incentive to foreign companies to open plants there? I know Airbus has a plant in Mobile.

As of January 16 it's Stellantis, which sounds like a skincare product.

Not a plant, but Nissan and Mitsubishi moved their US hq from California to Franklin, TN, a suburb of Nashville, not that long ago. I don't know that actual reason, but there probably was an incentive. The Nashville region as a whole has been attracting businesses lately.
And the Airbus plant in Mobile is notable too as another transportation based business with a plant in the south. Think they're doing the final assembly of A220 and A320 series planes for US airlines there now instead of at Toulouse.

A two-fer from Milford, CT on I-95: Sub Way and Bic Drive

However, that is a very misleading sign. It implies that to access Ikea, you must use the second lane from the right, but if you want Ikea Way, you must use the third lane from the right. And the two directions of OH 750 are accessed by the right and second from right lanes, but not the third from right.

That's cause you can't access OH 750 from the 3rd from right lane. The exit leads to a 3-lane c/d road, with the left lane for Gemini Pl/Ikea Way, right lane for OH 750, and the middle lane an option lane between the two.

The only reason Ikea/Ikea Way is confusing is because on the "Ikea" sign they left off all of the suffixes (note that panel just says "Gemini" and "Polaris", as well).

Cabela Dr., off I-70 in WV.

Auto Mall Parkway between I-880 and I-680 in Fremont

Some theme park related ones:
Disneyland Drive off I-5 in Anaheim
Great America Parkway off US 101 in Santa Clara
the former Marine World Parkway off US 101 in Redwood Shores, and the also former Marine World Parkway in Vallejo off Route 37 (park is now Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and street has been renamed Lewis Brown Drive)

Firestone Boulevard (former Route 42) was named for a Firestone Tire plant in South Gate, California that operated until 1981:

Zhone Way in Oakland off I-880 (near the Coliseum) is named for Zhone Technologies, who used to be headquartered at the intersection of that street and Oakport Street.

Honda Way off I-95 in Florence, SC?

More to do about politics, that unions are a no-go in that region.

Decided to sketch a partial APL concept for this BGS. Michigan uses this a lot, and I actually like it. This BGS could be a good one for the "Redesign This" thread, after I learn how to draw it on Inkscape, with more attention to details compared to the sketch ofc.

That's very exciting!

I-81 (for now) Exit 23B (SB only) in NY is for Destiny USA Blvd

I-890 Exit 3 (EB Only) is simply labeled GE Truck Terminal

[interstatefan990]

The Holiday Inn off Saw Mill River Parkway Exit 37 is located on Holiday Inn Dr. I was surprised by how rare this naming practice for the hotel chain's access roads is, as the only other Holiday Inn Dr that Maps could find me was in Cambridge, Ontario, and it isn't even near a Holiday Inn.
