The North Split (I-65/70) interchange is the sixth-busiest interchange in Indiana.

A quick look today showed the following (by traffic volume):

1. I-69/I-465/I-70 (east side)
2. I-465/I-69 (Clear Path)
3. I-465/I-65 (south side)
4. I-74/I-465/I-70 (west side)
5. I-65/I-80/I-94 (Borman)
6. I-65/I-70 (North Split)

That surprises me, I expected something on the Borman would be 1.

If you measured only trucks, I'm certain that I-65/80/94 would be #1, but a lot more commuters are using those Indy interchanges.

I'm actually surprised the Borman made in the top five at all. While it may have the worst traffic of any interstate in Indiana, there are only 2 system interchanges on the Borman, I-65 and the Toll Road. The Toll Road has traffic volumes on par with area surface streets and is far enough east that the Borman has lost half of its peak volume. The north leg of the I-65 interchange only has 27k AADT, and the south leg has 98k. This is practically a directional interchange where I-65 feeds the Borman about 40% of its volume between I-65 and the IL state line.

Realistically, you could say IN 912 - Cline Ave is a system interchange since it is a freeway north of the Borman. But I get your point.
