I can't speak for 183 because I never go up that way, but on 360 northbound between Lamar Blvd and 183, I'm counting 14 traffic lights.

1. Office park that has access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
2. Entrance to Barton Creek Square Mall
3. Walsh Tarleton
4. Westbank Drive
5. Lost Creek Blvd.
6. Las Cimas Pkwy.
7. Pascal Lane
8. Westlake Drive
9. Cedar St.
10. Courtyard Drive
11. Lakewood Drive
12. Spicewood Springs Rd (west of 360)
13. Spicewood Springs Road (east of 360)
14. Great Hills Trail.

There's additional streets that cross 360, but don't have traffic signals like Stone Ridge Road, Parkstone Heights Drive, Waymaker Way, and 2 crossings for Wild Basin Road - one to go east into the park and a different one to go west onto Wild Basin Rd. Also, most (or maybe all) of 360 doesn't have frontage roads. That's a lot of work to be done to bring it up to expressway standards like Ben White is today.
