Two of the same exit

[Alps]

On a similar note, how about 2 exit numbers for the same street?  King St., which straddles the state line between Greenwich, CT and Port Chester, NY, has an Exit 30 on one side of the border on the Hutch Parkway.  Cross under King St, and you have Exit 27 on the Merritt Parkway for the same street.

Separate thread, plz.

I-87, has multi exits with the same number!

I think we already established that multiple sets of exit numbers don't count.  But it is interesting to note that I-90 has no duplication despite having three sets of numbers!

Exit 19A of I-20 EB in LA is used twice.

Exit 19A of I-20 EB in LA is used twice. 

How so?

one exit but it has so much information it's across two signs for NB and SB

Another type of of "two of the same exit": Exit 51 and 53 from I-35 in OK are both to US 77 - Turner Falls Area. There is also a Scenic Turnout after both of them.

That could really use two different suffixes as the two ramps do split after the gore and have two different guide signs.  Even if it did have one sign, it still would be better to use two different letters.  It makes it more confusing to explain when giving out directions, especially being for two completely different streets.  Even though same route number, two different city streets.  If directing someone, for example, to Spring Street using the exit number 19A, you would have to explain something like this: Take Exit 19A and bear right imediately as the ramp divides right at exit.  If it had a different letter you would just use the unique exit number.

1 exit.  nuff said.

Its debatable.  Being they end up on two different streets, it could count as two different exits.  If it were to the same roadway (where LA 1 is on one two way road) it could be one exit for sure.  The point is, Exit 130 along the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey has the same set up, but with one large sign with a line down the middle.  In my opinion, I would even give that two  different numbers and where I see any type of split in ramps, I would give it two suffixes!   

You are right though, but I am only saying what I would do  if it were to me to sign these roads and the fact that two completely different signs are used with the same exit number is something of interest from another point. Perhaps another thread on this I may start soon as this seems also like something of interest.

I still don't see how it's funcionally any different than here, yet no one complains there are two exit 6As.  The only real difference is that your example has two separate exit-tabbed signs, whereas the Wichita example uses one sign.

I do not think it is whether you have the same, different, or no numbers.  It is optional of course too each state or state district. 

In Florida you have one exit number on I-75 for I-10 that has one ramp that splits.  Then several hundred miles to the south you have two completely different number suffixes for I-195 & FL 112 on I-95 for the same (or almost the same) type of set up.

You did convince me, however even though its the same exit, personally I would give them two suffixes to make  it easier on people.  Granted LaDOT did it so they would not have to erect a large sign and for better lane control, but with the two signs I think having two different letters would make it easier on the eye.  With that said, it would still be one exit as you say, but two numbers.  Heck, in  Orlando, FL on  I-4 you have one ramp eastbound with both B & C suffixes as if it were two different exits, but Exit 81BC goes for Kaley Street via one diamond ramp.

You could certainly argue for the LA example to have two different exit numbers at the split, but the germane point is that it diverges from the main highway as only one ramp, not as two consecutive ones with the same number.

As for Exit 81BC, now you have an interesting converse situation: one ramp with two numbers (suffixes) but with no further splitting after the first divergence.

Also does New Jersey have one exit with two suffixes as well.    Just like I-4 in Orlando so does I-295 in Deepwater, NJ with NB Exits 2BC being actually one exit for NJ 140.

Well, the ramp does sorta split when it gets to 140... but that's a good one. The most egregious one I know of is Turnpike NB at I-78: Exit 14-14A-14B-14C! (Yes, those are all separate exits, but there's a gore sign listing all of them.)

[roadman65]

Both exits in FL and NJ are where exit ramps are so close together and indeed have a unique situation where another interchange uses the same number suffix thing.

On I-4 in O-Town you have on the Westbound Side where Exits 81 B & C are indeed two completely different ramps and an Exit 81A (WB only) for nearby Michigan Street. 

On I-295, for southbound traffic at NJ 140 there is Exit 2B for EB NJ 140 and Exit 2C for WB NJ 140.  Then Exit 2A is NB only and is not really an interchange itself, but part of the nearby Hook Road interchange as it lacks a SB I-295 ramp.  Exit 2A really is a U Turn back to I-295 SB from I-295 NB to allow Hook Road to access the Delaware Memorial Bridge.  As you know, there is no SB Exit 2A. 

That is one of the many things that happen when you have many exits within a mile of each other.  Sometimes you get missing suffixes, but sometimes one other ramp will serve the same function as the missing one in the other direction.  It will be interesting to see how I-278 in NYC would be numbered if mile based numbers ever get into the Empire State as many of the sequential numbers now are within a mile of each other and the highest exit number on I-278 exceeds the interstate's total number of miles. You will see many ABC etc. and many exits  to another  of the samestreet with two different whole numbers if for each direction of travel  especially if the EB and WB ramps diverge from  different places along the BQE.

And Texas has an exit with two separate numbers:

[mcdonaat]

split after the gore

1 exit.  nuff said.

One exit. 19A North and 19A South. However, down the road, you have Exit 118 A-B, where US 165 North and South split after the gore. The only difference is that the two exits are actually separate going westbound.

I say keep it as 19A. Sign it well as LA 1 South and LA 1/US 71 North, but one exit number. It is, after all, one exit.

I need to post the photos for proof, but the two exits at Monterey, Tenn., are exactly the same (same route numbers, same destinations) but the only difference is the exit numbers that are 1 apart.

If I remember correctly, I-75 in Charlotte County, FL had two exits for Northport signed the very same way.  I cannot remember if it was NB or SB, but nonetheless neither exit had route numbers, but FDOT left a blank space on the sign above the Northport control point on both signs.  Now, FDOT did a sign overhaul and from what I seen someplace (I cannot remember who's site it was on) but now the road names are used on the main guide as before they were listed on auxillary signs for example. Jacaranda Boulevard for the Venice exit in the same area was on a separate sign from the main guide.

Then you have both US 301 exits north of Lumberton, NC both signed for US 301 and Local Traffic, like hb mentioned for Monteagle with two different exits but the same there, I guess you could say that for here as well.
