Editor’s note: This press release was provided by County Legislator Terry Clements.

Drivers on the Hutchinson River Parkway may have noticed that the exit numbers are changing.

As part of a New York State Department of Transportation project to install new reflective signs, the DOT is also transitioning to a mileage-based exit numbering system, replacing the consecutive exit numbering system.

Under the new system, exit numbers correspond to mileage markers.  So, an exit between mileage markers 1 and 2, will be numbered Exit 1.  If there are additional exits before mileage marker 2, the exits will have letters added — 1A, 1B, 1C, etc.

Below is a table from the NYS DOT showing the old consecutive exit numbers and the corresponding new mileage-based exit numbers.
