I don't know if anyone's mentioned Sea World Drive/Ingraham Street/West Mission Bay Drive/Sunset Cliffs Boulevard in San Diego.  Almost a complete cloverleaf.

This one along Carmel Valley Road (Monterey County G16).

I noticed that many Texas Freeway frontage roads have interchanges with cross roads that bridge over the freeway that they compliment.  The same in VA where US 301 is frontage road for I-95 south of Petersburg, where US 301 passes beneath many roads crossing over I-95 under the same overpass.  You will see connector roads link US 301 with the other adjacent roadway.

On April 27, D-Dey65 was kind enough to name the only interchange (out of 10) in the Central Savannah River Area that is NOT in Metro Augusta, Ga. (in Yemassee). Here are the other nine:

Richmond County:

GORDON HY (US 1/25/78/278/GA 10/121) & BROAD ST
GORDON HY (US 25/78/278/GA 10/121) & PEACH ORCHARD RD
DEANS BRIDGE RD (US 1/GA 4) & TOBACCO RD

Aiken County:

JEFFERSON DAVIS HY (US 1/78) & MAIN ST (SC 191)
JEFFERSON DAVIS HY & ATOMIC RD (US 278/SC 125)
JEFFERSON DAVIS HY (US 1/78/278) & EAST MARTINTOWN RD (US 25/SC 121/230)
ATOMIC RD (US 278/SC 125) & AUGUSTA RD (SC 421)
ATOMIC RD (SC 125) & SAND BAR FERRY RD (SC 28) & WILLISTON RD (US 278)

The US 1/25/78/278/State Route 121 & 5TH ST interchange are in both Aiken and Richmond counties.

Very much true, and I hadn't even thought of that.  It's a common occurrence.

Some rail lines that parallel many roads, have the overpass that spans the railroad also span the roadway as well.  Some do not even have an interchange or connector, but there are many that do.

Then in Pottstown, PA you have PA 100 with a partial interchange with Old US 422 that involves a railway running close to one of the two road grades that requires the other to be separated from the other in order to raise itself over the train tracks.  PA 100 is the one that spans both  Old 422 and the  railroad and the missing movements that the interchange lacks requires use of other Pottstown municipal streets in between.  Sort of a Breezewood of a Breezewood you might say.

PA 100 was supposed to be all freeway from West Chester to Allentown originally, but now at Pottstown it's an "expressway" or whatever the non-northeasterners call it. :P

Yeah I see the Trexlertown Bypass is not full freeway either.  Then you have the part freeway at West Chester that is a connector from US 202  that ends only a short distance later unless PA redesignated it when PA 100 got truncated and now ends at US 202 using that short freeway.

The Trexlertown Bypass appears to be just a downgraded remnant of the (needed) full 222 freeway from Reading to Allentown. I'm not sure how 100 would have originally tied into it if it would at all, or just meet it at a normal interchange to the east or west. It also may have ended there, or (better) gone up to 78/22.

Here's one whose existence puzzled me from the time I moved to South Bend 35 years ago to this day:

This is the intersection of SR 23 and SR 933 (formerly US 33) on the left side, plus Mishawaka Ave. on the right. All the roads are surface streets away from this interchange. This just blooms up out of nowhere, complete with BGSs:


I think that this part of SR 23 was intended as one section of an inner belt that never was finished. Two traffic lights would have sufficed.

PennDOT indeed redesignated that connector as the truncated southern leg of PA 100; previously it had no signed route number.

I mentioned some stuff in Omaha which may qualify, but I completely forgot the one I actually go thru nearly every day, which is L Street (US 275/NE 92) and 72nd Street.

Austin, TX has this one near the airport.

https://maps.google.com/?ll=30.220675,-97.684786&spn=0.014759,0.02738&t=h&z=16

the intersection at Riverside is currently being converted to an underpass to eliminate all stops between I-35 and the airport

or this one at 183 and Loop 1 - full freeway style interchange

Did I mention US 421 and US 127 in Frankfort?
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

In Quebec, there one at the junction of PQ-360 and PQ-138 at Beaupré

In "close but no cigar", I could mention the diamond interchanges on the PQ-117 by-pass at Riviere-Rouge and Labelle.

In Toronto, the junction of Bloor Street, Dundas Street and Kipling Avenue http://goo.gl/maps/hAUDA
and Weston Road at the junction of Albion Road and Walsh Avenue http://goo.gl/maps/HIUKp

US 6 and NY 293 near Harriman, NY.  Two roads that are two lanes that intersect with a trumpet.  The only thing  more odd is  the fact that US 6 is not dominate here, spite hardly any traffic goes from EB to NB and SB to WB.  NY 293 is the main body, with US 6 exiting itself EB and WB goes through the trumpet ramp to merge into NY 293.
I think that's because US 6 in that area is supposed to be the Long Mountain Parkway. And you know on the other end of that US 9W has quite a few interchanges in the West Point Area.

Monterey Highway and Bailey Avenue in South San Jose.

Forgot the one in Bellevue, Nebraska at NE 370 and Fort Crook Road (the former US-73 and -75).  I believe this may have been Nebraska's first SPUI, but I didn't live here then to know for sure.

ADDED ON 11-27: Also forgot about NE 370 and NE 50, on the SW edge of the Omaha area.
