Unusual Places for Exit Numbers

I think that this one qualifies as unusual even though it is justified to have them.  Exiting the Holland Tunnel in NYC has numbered exits around the circle.  I know this is part of I-78 and its not an interstate grade freeway here, but as a tool for drivers it is helpful though unusual due to its location.

Look at the gore point–I'd say that's an unusual place for an exit number... :spin:

What is so unusual about that?  I think its a great place as it points out very well the place of diversion.

I think the point is that the numerals on the gore sign are at the lower right instead of the lower left.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

The point is that instead of being an actual sign designed for an exit number, they just took a non-numbered exit sign and wedged an "11" in between the arrow and the edge of the sign.

I've seen that done in other locations.  That's more of sign fabrication afterthought and/or error rather than an unusual location for an exit numbered interchange/intersection.

The thread title does say "Unusual places for exit numbers", not "unusual places to have an exit numbered interchange/intersection", so technically you can joke around by posting examples of the physical location of the number on the sign and still be on topic.

I was noticing that near Wichita, KS on K-254 approaching I-135 and I-235 it has exit tabs for I-235's Exits 16 A & B, even though it does not begin I-235 until through the interchange itself.  K-254 does not have exit numbers  for itself so this is unusual that its ramps to I-135 (and US 81 & K15) have them.
