I'm surprised people think this is so challenging. I suppose it would be if there is a dearth of short 3di's or non-interstate freeways in your state or region, but otherwise there's plenty of scope to do this without necessarily even trying.

I'm reasonably sure I've used every exit/entrance ramp on both I-590 and NY 590, though there's a couple dubious ones that I'll now have to use just to make sure.  :D

I'm pretty sure 590 is the only road I've done it for, and even that I'm not too sure about.  Do I need to re-clinch I-590 south to NY 31 east?  Do I need to get NY 31 west to I-590 south (the left turn version) even though I already have NY 31 east to I-590 south (and does that need a re-clinch?)?  And I'm not 100% sure whether I've been on Ridge Road to NY 590 north or not (and there are some movements at Blossom that I can't recall when I've used them, although I'm pretty sure I have).

Wow, I somehow forgot that used to be a free-flowing entrance onto NY 31. Still, it didn't change enough to require re-clinching IMO.

Interestingly enough, that was one of the two I was uncertain of as well (the other being the original NY 31 WB to I-590 SB loop). Thinking on it further, I would also add I-490 EB to I-590 SB. I have almost certainly used it at some point, but I can't recall a specific instance.
