I recall seeing ranch access along I-40 in New Mexico, with signs saying 'Temporary'.  That was a good fifteen years ago, probably.  I'm curious to see if those driveways are still there, and if they still have signs saying 'Temporary'.  Does anyone know?

gone as of 2006 or so.

No ranch accesses in New Mexico, AFAIK, when I drove almost all of I-40 through the state this March.

But in Texas just east of the New Mexico state line, there are several ranch accesses still in place.  Indeed, I used one of them to do a legal U-turn on I-40.

I don't have opinions anymore. All I know is that no one is better than anyone else, and everyone is the best at everything

So are the only Interstates with at-grades with full median breaks, accessible to all traffic, I-10 and I-40 in west Texas? (Not counting the obvious ones like I-180 and Jersey City.)

No, I-40 had it in New Mexico as well. Of course, you only have access up to the ranch gate.

Where on I-40? I know there used to be some RIRO access west of Albuquerque.

My mistake, I rechecked the photo and there's no median break.

While there are no median breaks, there are a few pullouts and RIRO dirt roads along I-80 near the California-Nevada border.  With the Truckee River being right along side I-80, these access points are mainly for getting to the river whether it be for fishing, rafting, etc.

If I owned a dam and decided to donate it to charity, would I be giving a dam? I'm sure that might be a first because no one really gives a dam.

There are at-grade intersections on some of Oklahoma's turnpikes that lead to maintenance buildings.  Here's one just north ("west") of the Muskogee service area on the Muskogee Turnpike:
