exit numbers

Ramp designation signs

Exit numbers identify specific interchanges on highways and freeways, typically corresponding to mile markers or sequential order: Take exit 42 toward downtown.

They appear on road signs and in navigation directions.

In some countries, exit numbers follow distance-based systems; in others, they're assigned consecutively regardless of mileage.
