Greatest number of exits in a row you've clinched on one highway

[kphoger]

Counting exits like this feels like double counting.

In the interest of fairness, then, I docked his score.

-6.415 - Ted$8roadFan, for not counting

Looks like...34 exits for I-95 in Rhode Island.

I counted Exit 33 as one exit, since there's a 33A and a 33B which has two different routes depending one's direction of travel on the Interstate, but US 1 gets its own exit (34) as a one-segment ramp from southbound I-95.

The problem is that the exit renumbering from a few years ago may create a slightly different count; Exit 36B was once Exits 19 and 20, depending on direction. But then again, 36A was once the same two exit numbers, so it sort of washes out...No wonder Ted didn't want to give an exact number!

[kphoger]

I counted 35 exits for I-95 in Rhode Island; I counted Exit 33 (Old Exit 16) twice, since there's a 33A and a 33B which has two different routes depending one's direction of travel on the Interstate.

I've now updated his score.  And, for your selfless act of kindness, you now have an additional 0.1 added onto yours.

[hotdogPi]

30 exits on I-93, from Exit 17B in MA to the southern junction of I-293 (unnumbered) in NH. Clarifications:

• I have Exit 17B but not Exit 17A. As these aren't part of a directional pair and they go completely different ways, 17A breaks the streak.
• I don't have Exit 19 in my file, but I do have US 1 between I-93 and US 60, and I don't think this is possible without getting on or off at Exit 19.
• Under sequential numbering, 29 and 30 were separate exits; they got changed to 21. I'm counting it once.
• The rest area/visitor's center between the state line and Exit 1 in NH does not count. It would break my streak if it did.
• Exit 4A in NH is not open yet and therefore does not count. My streak will decrease from 30 to 28 once it does.

For me, this appears to be 22 exits on I-294, from 127th and Cicero in Alsip up to Lake-Cook Road at the north end.

I-10 between El Paso and Phoenix appears to be awfully low hanging fruit, though...

[CNGL-Leudimin]

I've counted all exits in the longest section I've used all of them (A-23 North of Monreal del Campo, exit 166) and I've come up to 47 Ausfahrten. For now I can only extend it South, for anything further North it would have to wait until 2030 or so...

Well, I have an update. Several new exits just opened up on TX 288 south of TX 6 which I used today, pushing my number to 18 northbound (or 15 southbound).

I've used every exit on I-40 in Arkansas between 81-242 at least once, which is 43 exits in a row. I'm missing 74 and 78, but I have 55-67 (or five more exits), which means I could get 50 in a row if I get those two.

I don't usually track which exits I take, this took a lot of remembering for me.

[ModernDayWarrior]

41 for me--all the exits on I-44 in MO from exit 113 (Conway) to 264 (Eureka).

[Bruce]

93 for I-5 between exits 128 in Tacoma and 240 in Alger, including the express lane ramps and HOV ramps.

[SkyPesos]

36 exits on the same stretch of I-71 as my entry on that other thread (between exits 180A in KY and 50 in OH).

[TBKS1]

I've used every exit on I-40 in Arkansas between 81-242 at least once, which is 43 exits in a row. I'm missing 74 and 78, but I have 55-67 (or five more exits), which means I could get 50 in a row if I get those two.

So I did this exact thing yesterday, so now I have 50 in a row. All exits on I-40 in Arkansas between 55-242.

I've since extended this to 56, down to exit 105 South(east) of Teruel.

[cockroachking]

I'm now up to 50, having used every exit on I-84(E) west of Exit 21 in Waterbury, CT.

How are we handling the 35E/W splits? Should I count each highway as separate, can I count the 35E exits since the mileage still progresses as if it were one highway, should I treat I-35 as a separate highway with zero exits between the split, or a mega conglomerate and count the exits on both 35E and 35W?

Follow the exit numbering schemes to figure out the impostor I-35. ;D

[Molandfreak]

If counting a former exit and exits A and B to different highways, 155 exits at this point. If counting neither, 153 exits. I should really venture south of Des Moines a little more just to beat you, Rothman.

Since I posted the OP, I'll weigh in on this.

Typically, I consider each route as its own thing:  that is, I-35 has a gap in the Metroplex and another in the Twin Cities.  However, for the sake of this thread, you can count either I-35E or I-35W as a continuation of I-35.  Follow whichever split helps you get the best score.

Oh wait, we're only supposed to count exits clinched on a single trip?

I-35? 

Every exit on I-35/35E from Iowa 5 south of Des Moines to Duluth.
