Thread Name: BS: Unusual Street/Road Names
Subject: RE: BS: Unusual Street/Road Names
In western Colorado we lived on a road that was 5 miles long and had 6 or so other homes on it, but the road was not named. We told visitors that we lived near the end of the road that is the third right turn over Surface Creek off of 65 a couple mile outside of Cedaredge. I doubt that the first two roads had names either. Our address was a box number on Route Two (of only two mail routes in Cedaredge.

On another side - Orlando, FL is famous for having roads that do not make sense concerning their official U.S., state, or county numbers.

Interstate 4 (an east-west number) travels nearly north-sout through most of of Orlando

State Road 436 (east-west again) heads due north from the airport for about 15 miles, and then curves west for 10 or so miles before ending

State Road 434 also starts going north and then curves to the west. It also eventually curves south and CROSSES S.R. 436 as it continues south.

State roads 17(n-s) and 92(e-w) join up near Downtown Orlando and head due north for 20 some miles the road is known as 17-92 and few people know that the nuber is actually two different roads.
