Good day.

During my travels to Ohio this week, I've paid extra attention to something I've always seen on the stretch of I-65 between Merrillville and Indianapolis.

To get to Lake Freeman and Lake Schafer (Indiana Beach), southbound drivers are directed to use exit 201 (U.S. 24/231). Northbound drivers, however, are directed to use exit 178 (Indiana 43).

Are there any other situations where one interstate has two different exits to reach an attraction based on direction? Please discuss, and I thank you for your responses.

You use turn signals. Every Time. Every Transition.

Of course there are, if the attraction is better reached by different exits.

Yeah, happens all the time out here if something is between two exits or a ways off of a major road

Not attractions, but pretty much every major interchange on I-5 in the Central Valley. For example, NB I-5 at CA 46 is signed for Lost Hills and Paso Robles, whereas SB I-5 at CA 41 (31 miles north) is signed for Kettleman City and Paso Robles.

Depending on the direction you're heading on the 5, Santa Ana Freeway, different exits are used to access Disneyland.

SB, best bet is exit 110B, Disneyland Drive, used to access the massive parking structures.

NB, use exit 109, Katella Ave/ Disney Way

Universal Studios Orlando is accessed by I-4 Exit 74B westbound but 75B eastbound, since 74B is WB only.

I-295 Northbound signs Atlantic City right at the 295-Turnpike-US-40 split (exit "0"), while Southbound it's at NJ-42 (exit "26S"). That's a distance of 25 miles. The former might go away once there is actually access to NJ-42 from I-295 North, but maybe not. Arguably, a better route southbound is to get off even earlier at Exit 36 and follow NJ-73. The only problem is that that segment of 73 is often congested. Then again, so is that segment of 295.

In Detroit, on I-94, the Tunnel to Canada is signed for I-75 going westbound (www.google.com/maps/@42.373884,-83.047988,3a,74.2y,240.81h,87.45t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sTAyoW2TTrOKaEDill5T-Cg!2e0?hl=en) and the Lodge (M-10) going eastbound (www.google.com/maps/@42.355718,-83.081708,3a,75y,48.69h,85.24t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sLcznum9cNFlrSPnh6Zy71Q!2e0?hl=en)

If One Direction uses on exit, does *NSYNC use the other?

Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH is a great example:

OH-2 -- From the West:  US-6 East/Fremont Avenue
OH-2 -- From the East:  US-6 West/Rye Beach Road

I-80/90 -- From the West:  OH-4/Exit 110 (used to be OH-53/Exit 91)
I-80/90 -- From the East:  US-250/Exit 118

Elizabeth on the Garden State Parkway is signed NB at Exit 137, and going SB on the GSP its Exit 140. 

Legoland in Florida along I-4 is directed via Exit 55 going WB, and Exit 27 going EB.  A distance of almost 30 miles.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

There is a similar issue in Portland for the exit for US 26.  While it is one Exit from I-405, if you are going East, you are directed to use Division, if you are going West to use Powell.  The issue of course being that US 26 is Powell, not Division, and once you turn onto Division, you are not told how to get to US 26, until you get to Burnside.  Makes navigation a little weird.
They said take a left at the fork in the road.  I didn't think they literally meant a fork, until plain as day, there was a fork sticking out of the road at a junction.
