exit number

Ramp identification sign

An exit number is the identifying number assigned to a highway off-ramp, usually displayed on signs approaching the exit.

In most systems, exit numbers correspond to mile markers: Exit 42 is about 42 miles from the state line.

Travelers use them for navigation and meeting points: Get off at exit 17 and turn left.
