Line 45:

* [[California]] uses exit numbers on all of its non-interstate highways statewide when they are built to freeway standards. However like its interstate highways (as stated above), the state's budget woes have caused exits on these routes to only be signed with numbers when signs need to be replaced.

* [[Colorado]] does not use exit numbers on non-interstate highways. The exception is [[E-470]] and the [[Northwest Parkway]], which are separate toll highways.

* [[Connecticut]] uses sequential exit numbers on longer non-interstate freeways, such as CT Routes 2, 8, 9, 11, 25, and 72, but will eventually transition to distance-based exit numbers. Exit numbers on CT Route 2A, CT 40, CT 184, CT 349, and "secret" CT 695 are mileage-based; these changes include the eastern end of the former [[Connecticut Turnpike]]. Shorter freeway sections, such as the US-6 Windham Bypass, Route 20 (Bradley Airport Connector), and freeway sections of Route 17 lack exit numbers. {{paragraph}}Exit numbers on Route 15 ([[Merritt Parkway|Merritt]] and [[Wilbur Cross Parkway|Wilbur Cross]] parkways) are sequential; CT 15's exit numbers arewere originally a continuation of exit numbers from the [[Hutchinson River Parkway]] in New York. However, exceptNew York has since added additional exits on the Hutchinson River Parkway, so that now the the [[NY 120A|Route 120A]] interchange on the state line is '''Exit 30''' eastbound (Hutchinson), and '''Exit 27''' westbound (Merritt). The Wilbur Cross Parkway, eastbound, takes over the Merritt's sequential numbering. Freeway sections of US 7 also use sequential numbering.

*In [[Delaware]], [[Delaware Route 141]] uses sequential exit numbers. [[Delaware Route 1]] uses kilometer-based exit numbers despite using milemarkers since 2003 (and newer exits use numbers making no sense to either system, such as Exit 86 in Frederica not being 86 miles or kilometers from the Maryland line).

* In [[Florida]], the [[Florida's Turnpike|Turnpike]] and other expressways owned and operated by the Florida Turnpike Enterprise use distance-number exits. Toll roads under the [[Central Florida Expressway Authority]] also use distance-number exits. The [[Florida State Road 618|Lee Roy Selmon Expressway]] in [[Tampa, Florida|Tampa]] uses a sequential-based exit numbering system. Expressways under the authority of the [[Miami-Dade Expressway Authority]] have no exit numbers.<ref name="2008fdotir">{{cite web|url=http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/hwydata/interchange.pdf |title=Florida Department of Transportation Interchange Report |date=2008-11-24 |format=PDF |publisher=[[Florida Department of Transportation]] |accessdate=2009-07-27 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208015944/http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/hwydata/interchange.pdf |archivedate=2012-02-08 |df= }}</ref>
