Unusual Places for Exit Numbers

Places that have an exit number, but should not have that particular number or not even part of a system of numbers.
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rockingham,+NC&hl=en&ll=34.95075,-79.84756&spn=0.017939,0.037379&sll=27.698638,-83.804601&sspn=9.834914,19.138184&oq=roc&t=m&hnear=Rockingham,+Richmond,+North+Carolina&z=15&layer=c&cbll=34.95062,-79.847767&panoid=KbsRm5Qfzrg2nUIe_dTPtg&cbp=12,229.58,,0,-0.09

This is at US 74 Business in Rockingham, NC where it meets its parent at a trumpet interchange.   US 74 Business is not a freeway, nor does it have a bunch of exits with numbering.  Plus, the ramp to US 74 EB is not an exit as the route here terminates and thus both are indeed ramps including to US 74 WB.



https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Orlando+International+Airport,+Jeff+Fuqua+Boulevard,+Orlando,+FL&hl=en&ll=28.457373,-81.310158&spn=0.038183,0.074759&sll=34.943573,-79.844856&sspn=0.017941,0.037379&oq=orlando+in&hq=Orlando+International+Airport,+Jeff+Fuqua+Boulevard,+Orlando,+FL&t=m&z=14&layer=c&cbll=28.457137,-81.310152&panoid=ZxNk9zABYtNyLQdwcQaNdA&cbp=12,186.07,,0,0

Also, FL 436 has exit numbers for its ramps from its arterial to the FL 528 freeway.
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Orlando+International+Airport,+Jeff+Fuqua+Boulevard,+Orlando,+FL&hl=en&ll=28.457373,-81.310158&spn=0.038183,0.074759&sll=34.943573,-79.844856&sspn=0.017941,0.037379&oq=orlando+in&hq=Orlando+International+Airport,+Jeff+Fuqua+Boulevard,+Orlando,+FL&t=m&z=14&layer=c&cbll=28.457137,-81.310152&panoid=ZxNk9zABYtNyLQdwcQaNdA&cbp=12,186.07,,0,0

No other interchanges along FL 436 are numbered and in all cases FL 436 is the subordinate of all the other roadways it interchanges including FL 50 and soon to be US 17 & 92.

How the Mount Carmel Connector (CT 40) in Connecticut, which has exit 1 but no other numbered exits?  See http://www.greaternyroads.info/roads/ctstate/ct40.  Also, the exit numbers of the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) skip from 18 all the way to 68 near the northern end.

I-95 has that situation due to the fact the Somerset Freeway was cancelled.  The NJTA did not even own I-95 beyond Exit 18 in Ridgefield Park until recently and did not want to change what was already established.  That is really a case of a break in sequence more than unusual.

Grand Concourse in The Bronx used to as well. Some of the signs are still in place, but the exit numbers have all been greened out.

Less obscurely, the West Side Highway in Manhattan has exit numbers signed more or less at the former locations of the exits on the torn down elevated highway.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

I'd say any at-grade intersection qualifies as an unusual place for an exit number, even in situations like the one you describe where they used to be proper exits, or like on the Garden State Parkway where it's done for continuity's sake.

The Hot Springs, AR bypass (US 70-270) has exit numbers, mile based beginning at the western end of the bypass at US 270-270B.

The on-ramps for NS-102 from Dunbrack Street/Northwest Arm Drive are numbered Exits 1K and 1H for some reason.

Nova Scotia 103 between Yarmouth and Halifax has exit numbers posted for some ordinary intersections.

The exit tabs are also on the left, but I recall that being the provincial standard anyway.

I'm suprised that nobody has yet mentioned MA 128 in Gloucester.  Exit 11 (MA 127) is a rotary intersection called Grant Circle, Exits 10 (MA 127) & 9 (MA 127A & MA 128's northeastern terminus) are both signalized intersections; and Blackburn Circle, also a rotary intersection located between Exits 11 & 10, has no exit number assigned to it.
GPS does NOT equal GOD

Central Avenue

US 23 in Worthington, Ohio has (albeit not for much longer) the ramps to I-270 signed as exits 23A and 23B.



US 23 isn't a freeway at this point, so having exit numbers for this one interchange doesn't really make sense.

That said, I certainly will be sad to see them go, because of the three-way 23 coincidence. (US 23, exit 23 off I-270, and mile 23 in Franklin County for US 23)

And that's what's most annoying about it, when it's not even done consistently for at-grades.

Some of Virginia's limited-access bypasses of towns in the SW part of the state have sequential exit numbers posted on the exit gore signs. Examples are US 23 near Norton and US 19 near Lebanon.

US-1 in Wake Forest, NC received exit numbers about 2 years ago at the NC-98 and NC-98 Business exits. Yet the limited access Henderson bypass still doesn't have any exit numbers.

The Parksville at-grade is gone now, but the Hale Eddy ones (two of which are hidden exit 85 and hidden exit 86) will be around a while longer.

Let's not forget Carrier Circle on NY 298 near Syracuse.

The traffic signals are (or at least were, pre-Katrina) numbered on US 90, from west to east, in Harrison County, Mississippi.  Poking around in Streetview it doesn't look like the numbers were replaced post-K.

I sort of like the idea of having exit numbers for access to frontage roads.  This would aid in navigation if your next turn is not the main road being signed at the gore point.

^^ Also, yet another instance of the rare centered Clearview exit tab.

Oregon 18's interchange with Business 18 in Sheridan and in Willamina, as well as the Fort Hill interchange, have exit numbers.  But the Sheridan city center exit does nor does the Oregon 22 (eastbound) exit, nor any of the exits in McMinnville (Oregon 99W, Three Mile Lane) or Dayton (Oregon 233) and there are various at-grade intersections.

Oregon 22, at Oregon 99W, also has an exit number, but the interchange with Oregon 223 (just to the west) does not, nor do the exits in West Salem, and there are also various at-grade interchanges.  Oregon 22 east of I-5, is more consistent with a freeway and even the on-ramps to I-5 bear an exit number of 1A and 1B (although the exit number for I-5 is not consistent with the mile marker), although the I-5 off-ramps come to a traffic signal and T-intersection on 22.
