Exit 0
SPUI
If it is not used, you usually have at least 1.5 miles of exit 1*, or you
modify it so exit 1* is only before mile, exit 2* is before mile 2, etc.
Here is a full list of which states use exit 0.

Umm, the Wheeling Island exit on I-70 is Exit 0.

The beginning of Kentucky's parkways are usually given the "Exit 0"
number.

Yes. On my long-neglected Purchase Parkway page
(http://www.users.mis.net/~hbelkins/PurchasePkwy.html) You'll see that
there is, indeed, an Exit 0, for KY 116 and KY 166.

Oregon could be marked NX, there are a couple places where an exit 0
would work. OR-22 in Salem has Exits 1A and 1B at the spot where the
I-5 interchange/overpass is, which is also the point where the mile
posts start from zero and increment in both the east & west
directions. I think US-26 in Portland may be mileposted like this too.

I-540 is kind of a wierd exception to this:
Originally, it ended with Exit 1 A/B at I-40. After it was extended
north towards Fayetteville, the exit was renumbered 15 (though there
are also still signs noting it as Exit 1).
Neil Alexander Bratney
I-380 is Exit 0. See Jason Hancock's page:
http://iowahwypix.tripod.com/ic/80-380b.jpg
I don't know about the northern (Western?) terminus of I-74. Anyone
else?
> If it is not used, you usually have at least 1.5 miles of exit 1*
I-29, I-129 and I-480 all have exits less than 1/2 mile from the border.
They are all named exit 1.
I-35 has an exit at the Missouri border. It is exit 114 (Mo numbering).
I-80 has two exits within 1.5 miles of Nebraska:
Exit 1A = I-29 @ 0.2 miles
Exit 1B = 24th Street @ 1.4 miles

Hmmm - looks like TX uses exit 0 in rural areas but not urban areas. Or

That might be why I-45 doesn't have an Exit 0 on the Island, even though
the 0 mile point is where the on-ramps from 61st Street hit the end of I-45
and the start of Texas 87 (a/k/a Avenue J, or Broadway). For what it's
worth, the only exits on the Island are 1A (61st), 1B (71st), and 1C
(Teichman Road/Harborside Blvd) -- the last of which is just a few hundred
feet before the Mile 2 post. If the exits were numbered correctly, 61st
Street would be Exit 0, 71st would be Exit 1A, and Teichman/Harborside
would be Exit 1B.) Mile 2 occurs just before the approach to the northbound
Causeway back to the mainland, at which point the numbering manages to
follow the mile markers more or less correctly.

Looks like my memory failed me. I thought that the beginning of the
Natcher Parkway and Cumberland Parkway were both numbered exit 0. The
Audubon Parkway at the Pennyrile _IS_ numbered 0. As is the afore
mentioned exit on the Purchase. The other parkways appear to use 1 as
their first exit, also with the other mentioned exception of the
Pennyrile. Also as previously mentioned in this newsgroup, planning
appears to be moving ahead on constructing an extension of the Pennyrile
to I-24.

The Pennyrile and I-24 finally meeting? That's got to be one of the Seven
Signs. (I spent a lot of my childhood summers a little farther west in Trigg
County, having great-grandparents there, and remember the hoopla when the
Pennyrile opened -- finally, you could get from Hopkinsville to somewhere else
on something *other* than a *&^%$#@! two-lane road, even if it was only
Madisonville and Henderson. :-) I've never been on the Natcher, but since US
68 is Exit 5 on it, and I-65 is about five miles southeast of there, I'd
wonder just how the exit at I-65 is numbered. The Cumberland, as you
mentioned, uses 1 for its end at I-65 -- and who knows what it'll be numbered
as if it's designated as I-66. (That's assuming I-66 winds up extending west
of I-65.)

Again there is already planning studies for choosing a route west of the

generally like the plans for a new road. There is a log of information

I'm sure the people in Bowling Green would, because at present there's no real
access around the area to the north of town, and the improved US 68 doesn't
kick in until you're out past the Natcher. What happens out west of there,
though? I-66 could be justified to I-24 in Trigg County, maybe, but after
that, it'd be a stretch, at best. 68 doesn't have the AADT to justify an
Interstate corridor (of course, that could partly be because it's still two
lanes from Cadiz westward, including across the LBL), but maybe if it could
share I-24 to Paducah and then split off westward into Missouri along the
I-57/US 60 corridor and end up at I-44 in Springfield...that might be doable.
(I'm not expecting to live long enough to see that.)

The last exits of I-74 and I-280 are unnumbered now, but until about
1988, both of them were Exits 1A-B. (And the US 6 exit for I-280 used
to be Exit 1C; it's now just Exit 1.)

There are plans to improve US 60/KY 80 through the Land Between the
Lakes. Technically I-66 through the Land Between the Lakes is still a
possibility.
I've thought that the reconstruction of US 68/KY 80 from Bowling Green to
Cadiz should have been to I-standards, but unfortunately it was not. Now
there is a nice four lane road, but unfortunately most of it probably
wouldn't be useful for extending I-66 along a more southern corridor.
Instead it looks like it will follow the Western Kentucky Parkway
corridor.
There is a little bit about US 68/KY 80 and LBL at:

A somewhat related question: which states will "stretch" the numbering
(for example, number three exits between mileposts 15 and 16 as 15,16,17
rather than 16A,B,C if it won't create conflicts)? NM does this repeatedly
and I thought it was a neat idea, though of course it will backfire if that
area builds up enough to create a conflict later on).

north exit be 0, but it's not. I-29, I-74, and I-280 all have at least one
mile before their first exit; I-35 uses Missouri's 114 because it's on the
line. I do not know about I-680, I-235, and I-129, all of which have an exit
before the first mile marker.
Personally, I'm a fan of it. If the west or south terminus is an interchange,
it should be Exit Zero.

GDOT has done it in at least one case I know of -- I-285 between GA
400 and Ashford-Dunwoody Rd. The interchange for A-D Rd is Exit 29
even though it's *west* of mile marker 28! (The eastern end of the
eastern ramps are around mile marker 27.8; the western end of the
western ramps are around MM 27.2 or so.) GA 400 itself is exit 27;
Peachtree-Dunwoody Rd (half-diamond) is exit 28.

The GSP does it, but that's independent of NJDOT I believe. I-80 around
Paterson avoids lettered exits except for the same road or the same ramp
complex, so exits 56-61 are all pretty close to each other.

It's a possibility, but I'd hate to see LBL get split by it when the
justification isn't yet there. (Considering where it would be, think of the
environmental paperwork that would have to be done...my four-greats
grandchildren *might* live to see it done.)

At least the only challenges there are 1) the ROW for I-66 between I-65 and the
WK, and 2) getting the WK rebuilt to Interstate standards. Having grown up
making the 68/80 trip from London to Cadiz (or vice versa) once and sometimes
twice a summer, I can remember the nightmare it used to be -- though building
it to Interstate standards around Cadiz would have wiped out where my
great-aunt and uncle lived for years on the east edge of town, right where the
bypass meets the old route into town. (As it is, the new road is almost at
the front door, which means it's about 250 feet north of where the old road
ran.)

I'll have to check that out...and if 68/80 get rebuilt between Cadiz and LBL,
I hope they make allowances to at least preserve an exit at Pete Light
Springs. :-)

One of the reasons for rebuilding US 68/KY 80 through LBL is that the
bridges over the Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake are getting very old and
probably wouldn't survive an earthquake on the New Madrid fault, so there
is interest in replacing the bridges with earthquake resistant
structures.
There was a study a couple of years ago that said the Purchase area would
be cut off completely from the rest of the Kentucky if there was a major
earthquake in the region because none of the bridges (including I-24)
across the lakes and rivers would survive an earthquake.

That's something that's been needed since around 1812, when both of the 68/80
LBL spans appear to have been built. (The last time I went through there in
July of 2000, I was worried mainly about anything larger than a Saturn SL2
trying to cross either span from the opposite direction -- those bridges are
old and narrow.)

That wouldn't be surprising, since the origins of the New Madrid activity
weren't really known until the last 20 years of the last century, and most of
the infrastructure in the Purchase and adjacent Tennessee and Missouri was
built prior to that. So far, I've been lucky to not be within 50 miles or so
when even a 3.5 occurs...

<nitpicking>
I-29 Exit 1 (IA 333) is indeed Exit 1, as my copy of Street Atlas has 1.75
miles of I-29 in IA before it. Right on the other two, though.

The ramp from I-16W to I-75S in Macon is signed as "Exit 0."

No it's not. It is signed as Exit 1.
