The Phoenix area has a "Broadway Road." It runs from south Phoenix eastward through Tempe and Mesa.

Broadway Road Aliment runs from Maricopa/La Paz county line east to Maricopa/Pinal county Line (Continues east in to Pinal County as Broadway Avenue)

Also Tucson has Broadway Blvd

PJ McArdle Roadway in Pittsburgh, PA, the main route from the South Side and Liberty Bridge up to the top of Mt. Washington.

Moorpark, CA has both an "Elk Run" and "Elk Run Loop."

Des Moines is pretty much entirely conventional, with exception to this one, Sterling Trace:

I found Viewmont Close in Kitchener, ON.


It's also interesting since it's shaped like an upside-down "T", with two cul-de-sacs on each end, which means there's an intersection within itself.

I'm resurrecting this old thread for another example I found: Westchester Bourne on the 401 near London, ON. I tried looking up bourne, but all I see is Jason Bourne :pan:

There's a "Yates Bay", "Moorland Chase", and "Nantwick Ridge" near me.

Where I used to lived in New Mexico, "Loop" was fairly common.

I have one nearby called "Morris Blacktop," although I'm not convinced that's the road's real name.

EDIT:  Yep, it's not.  It's actually N 30th Road, although businesses along the road call it Morris Blacktop.
I'm never wrong, just wildly inaccurate.

"˜Parade' is a common suffix here in Australia, e.g. Anzac Pde, Marine Pde, Railway Pde etc.  https://goo.gl/maps/WLYyK4SXhSB2

Oswego, IL has a "Partridge Square"

I find "Terraces" to be fairly uncommon.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the Pinellas Bayway near St Petersburg FL.

There's a street here in Kingstowne called Lavenham Landing, made doubly strange because it's not near water.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

In Kenilworth, NJ there is a Via Vitale.  I guess the Vitale is the name and it has no suffix, but one IMO is uncommon.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Via is Latin for road, so that basically acts as the suffix here. (Hence, viatology :pan:). It’s no different than Spanish road names in the southwest like El Camino Real (the royal road).

Too bad what would be North Roadway is part of Rockwell Ave instead...
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Here's one that I haven't seen before: Private.

Not "Private" as in private road.  I found a road in Ottawa called Thad Johnson Private.

Here's the Wikipedia page about Thad Johnson.  There's even a line near the end about the road named after him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Thad_Johnson

As far as I can tell, no one in this thread has mentioned Indianapolis' fondness for double suffixed streets, such as Fall Creek Parkway, North Drive or Kessler Boulevard, West Drive.

Also, in regard to the suffix Trace, Wayne Trace in Fort Wayne, IN (and in nearby areas of NE Indiana & W Ohio) is a prominent urban street and rural road.

Kulerage

In Cary, I've found an Arlington Ridge, and Village Greenway. Greenway isn't uncommon, but usually refers to recreational trails instead of roads.
