This is meant to be a compliment to the "Highways that are city streets" thread.
I'll start with two here in Denver - 6th Ave (US 6) and Pena Blvd. (the airport spur). Both are full freeways.
Wichita's one example is semi-famous: Kellogg Avenue (US 54-400), which despite the name is a full freeway for 13 miles.
In Greensboro, Fordham Boulevard is I-40, Preddy Boulevard is Business (Green) I-85/US-29/US-70, and the new I-840 Loop will be Painter Boulevard. US-29 is called O.Henry Boulevard and is full freeway from I-40 to the city limits. Plus, Bryan Boulevard is almost full controlled access for its entire length, and Wendover Avenue is controlled access between Spring Garden and US-220.
Philadelphia has Roosevelt Boulevard (US 1), which does continue on as a surface street, but is a freeway for about three miles from the Schuylkill Expressway to 9th Street. The freeway portion is technically called "Roosevelt Expressway", but in my experience, nearly everyone calls it Roosevelt Boulevard–and sometimes just "the Boulevard".
New York has both FDR Drive and Harlem River Drive–basically two sections of the same freeway–on the east side of Manhattan Island.
San Francisco has (had) Doyle Drive, which I suppose could be considered a freeway, but is currently being dismantled. I have not seen a definite answer yet on whether the old name will be applied to the new Presidio Parkway.
I-44 in Tulsa is named Skelly Drive.
The spur from exit 289 on I-40 to I-440 in Raleigh is named Wade Ave.
The freeway portion of US 70 in Durham is named Muldee Street.
When I-90 in Seattle was a Super-2, it was called Lake Way. Its RIRO intersections had street signs.
Also in Philly, I-676 is referred to as either the Vine St. Expressway or Vine Expressway.
A portion of Wade Avenue in Raleigh is freeway-grade, although back before they built the hockey arena they used to park cars on the grass median for NC State football games.
A small portion of Allen Road in Toronto is a freeway.
In southwest Anchorage AK, the south end of Minnesota Dr., and the west end of O'Malley Rd., form a single L-shaped freeway, which is about five miles long and has six exits. The freeway doesn't have its own name, nor is it assigned a route number, but the northern leg is sometimes known as the Minnesota Dr. Bypass.
SR 912 in Gary, known as Cline Ave.
The Eisenhower Expressway in Chicago(290) was originally the Congress street expressway. All the Chicago expressways/Freeways and Tollways have names now but I think only the IKE held an actual street name.
Avenue Souligny in Montréal is a freeway between Dickson and Honoré-Beaugrand.

True, but it was the "Congress Street Expressway" for its full name. When I-55 was built in 1956 through DuPage County, I think the name may have just been "Joliet Road" as that is what it replaced from Exit 268 to Exit 276C.
Part of the Calumet Expressway began as Doty Avenue; however, I am not sure from the maps I've seen where the name changed or if any of the expressway portion was "Doty Avenue".
Of course, there's always "Lake Shore Drive" which is mostly expressway or freeway.
Then we have the odd names such as the "Ohio Street Feeder Ramp".
"Drive" seems to be the most common manifestation in urban areas, but when Boston's Storrow Drive reaches turns northeast at Beacon Hill it becomes either Embankment Road or David G. Mugar Way, depending on who you ask.
At its western end near the B. U. Bridge, it changes again to Soldiers Field Road.

It's both, even if there is no way to get to the Drive from the building. It's more a matter of prestige than functionality.
I-43 bridge in Green Bay is referred as the "Tower Drive bridge" as the freeway was built where Tower Drive used to be. But the pre-freeway road never crossed the Fox River.

Technically, it does, as does I-80.
I-57 is the West Leg of the Dan Ryan Expressway.
I-80 is the Moline Expressway west of the Tri-State Tollway (I-294).
I-695 in Washington, DC crosses the Anacostia River on the 11th Street Bridges.
Toronto's Allen Road is an expressway, as is Hamilton's Burlington Street.
I think in most cases, freeways with street names are either former surface streets that have been upgraded to freeway status or freeway extensions of surface streets. I wonder how many of the above were just given street-like names without falling into one of those two categories?
In the Philly chatter above I thought the first one that came to me was mentioned, but it wasn't: Woodhaven Rd.

There is a 3-km spur off A-25 in Montréal that bears the name "Avenue Souligny".
http://goo.gl/maps/IzEcQ
The signage is mute about that name, though :
-On Dickson Ave., you have to follow "To A-25/A-20/A-40" signs (http://goo.gl/maps/7c7dp);
-On A-25, the signs tell «Montréal CENTRE-VILLE [downtown]» (http://goo.gl/maps/yGn1a).
In Philadelphia, there's Woodhaven Road (PA 63). Also, on Long Island, there's Nicolls Road (Suffolk CR 97) and Cross River Drive (Suffolk CR 105) that are large multilane divided roads with numerous grade-separated interchanges, although there are some traffic lights on these roads as well.

I've seen a few expressways around Madrid with ordinary street names.
In English, it is spelled "pena" because we don't use accents.
Memphis of course has Sam Cooper Boulevard (abandoned midtown I-40) and Plough Boulevard (the freeway from I-240 to the airport). Functionally parts of Getwell Road and Jackson Avenue are freeways. If we're including "parkway" as a normal street name, that'd add all three legs of TN 385 (Paul Barret, Nonconnah/Bill Morris, and Collierville-Arlington/Winfield Dunn).
In Tupelo you've got part of MS 178/McCullough Boulevard, and US 45 is designated as MLK Avenue.
AL 255 in Huntsville is Research Park Boulevard.
Various bits of the directional Boulevard almost-loop around Montgomery are freeway-standard (ironically perhaps the bits that are least travelled on the north side).
Metro Atlanta has Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (GA 141).
Probably dozens of roads in Texas designed with wide medians for future freeways fit this category too. Most folks would apply the frontage name to the freeway too (e.g. Research Boulevard/US 183 and Ben White Blvd/TX 71 in Austin).

I remember some old maps of Montreal when A-40 was referred until the early 1980s to "Boulevard Metropolitain" instead of Autoroute Métropolitaine. Same with Decarie. A-20 in West-Island was once marked as Montreal-Toronto Boulevard back when it was a regular divided highway part of PQ-2.
Major freeways, expressways in Calgary are referred as "Trail" like Crowchild Trail, Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail.
In Columbus, the freeway portion of OH 104 shows up on some maps as Frank Road. It's actually called Frank—Refugee Expressway, or James L Wanger Memorial Highway, but most folks just call it 104 (or The 104 Freeway, not as an imitation of SoCal, but to distinguish from the older 2-lane leg of 104 that runs down the west bank of the Scioto).
Cincinnati has the first 1½ mile of I-71 called Fort Washington Way.
St Louis has the Pearl Poplar Street Bridge or something like that, carrying like 4 Interstates across the Mississippi.
edit: remembered the correct expansion of PSB
I-83 in Baltimore at it's stub southern end is President St. Also, the Bulkeley Bridge in Hartford, which was incorporated into I-84, was originally built as the Morgan St. Bridge and connected directly with Connecticut Boulevard in East Hartford.

If you want to do without the tilde for whatever reason, "ny" rather than just "n" is the better replacement for "ñ" (for example, "cañon" = "canyon").

FWIW, users with iDevices have easy access to the "accent mark"—style letters by holding down the respective "key" (for lack of a better word for a touchscreen keyboard)–holding down "N," for example, gives you the option of "ñ" or "ń" (or the capitalized form if needed).
The foregoing sentence is the first time I've ever used that feature, though.

This is one case where a previous regular surface street was progressively upgraded over the years to become a full freeway. These upgrades are still under way.

Two around Dayton, OH:
- The freeway that connects I-70 to the Dayton International Airport is called simply "Airport Access Road". Never understood why it was never given 3di status like I-170.
- Harshman Road is basically a freeway between the railroad tracks and the intersection with Airway Rd. (It has an interchange with Springfield St., but otherwise it's a surface arterial with no driveways and a Jersey wall placed in the middle.)
And at Walt Disney World in Florida, "World Drive" is built to freeway standards between Epcot Center Drive and US-192 -- and would be all the way to the southern terminus if not for two at-grade T-intersections.
In Virginia, VA-28 was recently upgraded to full freeway between the signalized entrance to Lawrence Park and its northern terminus at VA-7. (The RIRO entrance to the Sully Plantation was relocated to the museum interchange) Yet it still seems to be called Sully Rd.
In California...beyond the Doyle Drive example...
- For years (not sure if still the case now), the segment of what is now Route 15 south of I-805 in San Diego was "Wabash Boulevard", dating back to the 1950s before the route had received a number.
- Is the section of former Route 134 in Glendale "Colorado Freeway" or "Colorado Boulevard"? Google Maps lists it as the "Colorado Street Freeway Extension"
- Although this will change with the ongoing removal of the cloverleaf at US 50, Watt Avenue in Sacramento between Fair Oaks Boulevard and Folsom Boulevard is functionally a short full freeway.
Bakersfield, CA also has the Alfred Harrell Highway.
Cedar Avenue in MN. No one refers to it as highway 77 (it's freeway segment), county 23, or county 152. ;-)

NO need to get all MC Grammar here... Most keyboards dont have diacritcs ( accents etc) from other languages. We are writing in English and most of us would not be thrown off by a n being used when Spanish has a tilde Many Slavic names are prouniouched in English with an "...ic" which has the check on top making it a "ch"... some actually changed the spelling to end in "..ch" .

Jacksonville has JTB or J. Turner Butler Boulevard (or SR 202)... all but about 2 blocks is full freeway... when it was build about 4 miles was surface street but it was upgraded before sprawl

On a traditional computer keyboard, pressing the ALT key, then typing 164 on the numeric keyboard (not the regular number keys), usually does the trick. But when I tried it here in this Quick Reply box, it came up with an emoticon. So to type "ñ" I instead did the above in Notepad, then copied the resulting ñ here.
Not that necessary here, but useful in other contexts where tildes and other diacritical marks can radically affect the meaning of a word. Also, the same trick works for Greek letters, and miscellaneous typographic symbols like º (alt-167) and ¼ (alt-172).

ALT+164 is the DOS sequence, which Windows continues to support because MS doesn't like to break the little things that don't really matter. The Windows way to do it is ALT+0241 – the leading zero means to look up the character in the Windows "Western" character set, assuming that's the character set "in use", a distinction made largely obsolete by Unicode. Many apps allow a sequence like CTRL+~ N.
On a Mac, there's probably an easy way to do it with some combination of the Option, Cloverleaf, and/or N keys.
How about "Alligator Alley" in Florida? Granted, it was just a 2-lane road before it was upgraded to Interstate standards.
In Annapolis, MD: The freeway part of MD-665 is called Aris T. Allen Blvd. Granted, there are two RIROs near the eastern terminus, plus one that goes nowhere. There's also a slip ramp (?) that leads to a (strip) shopping center. The non-freeway part continues as Forest Drive.

Over here in Portland, the segment of US 26 between exits 71A (OR 8) and 73 is SW Canyon Rd, though colloquially it's referred to as the Sunset [Hwy].
The freeway portion of US 30 between I-405 and NW Nicolai Ave doesn't have a name, though it could be an extension of NW Yeon Ave.
NE Airport Way between NW 82nd Ave (OR 213) and I-205 has its own exit (Cascades Station).

Yep, and U.S. 10 is Main Street through Anoka (partial freeway)

QuoteCedar Avenue in MN. No one refers to it as highway 77 (it's freeway segment), county 23, or county 152.
True on the last one...One occasionally hears the other two, especially south of Apple Valley for County 23. It's not common on the Hwy 77 stretch, though.
It should also be noted that, in light of NE2's comment, the stretch of MN 77/Cedar Ave from the Mall of America down to I-35E was all new-alignment construction, not an "ordinary street given freeway upgrade".
QuoteYep, and U.S. 10 is Main Street through Anoka (partial freeway)
The part of US 10 that is coincident with Main St is the at-grade section northwest of downtown. The freeway is simply "Highway 10".
QuoteAnd MN 47 (University Avenue) has a short freeway segment to connect it with U.S. 10.
That part of MN 47 is not University Ave. University Ave splits off of MN 47 in front of Northtown Mall.

ñ
For a Spanish-language accent, it is 'alt/option+'E'', then type the letter that you want accented - á, é, Ã, ó and ú

If you want to do without the tilde for whatever reason, "ny" rather than just "n" is the better replacement for "ñ" (for example, "cañon" = "canyon").
Spanish used to treat "LL" as a separate letter than "L". But the academy in Madrid no longer considers LL a separate letter

QuoteIn Virginia, VA-28 was recently upgraded to full freeway between the signalized entrance to Lawrence Park and its northern terminus at VA-7. (The RIRO entrance to the Sully Plantation was relocated to the museum interchange) Yet it still seems to be called Sully Rd.
Yes, VA 28 is still Sully Rd through there.
....
Indeed when I check the online statement for my E-ZPass account it refers to the Route 28 toll plaza as "Sully Rd" (if I hover over the plaza code). I can't say as I recall the last time I heard anyone actually use that name, though, other than when I used it myself about two weeks ago (but only because Ms1995hoo and I were in the car on that road and I commented that I remember when it was a two-lane road out in the sticks and people knew it as "Sully Road"....she did not remember those days).
In Kansas City: Bruce R. Watkins Drive. (AKA, the reason why I-49 ends at the Triangle). Planned as a freeway, built as a partial freeway/partial expressway by consent decree. I think most of you know the story by now ;)

QuoteCedar Avenue in MN. No one refers to it as highway 77 (it's freeway segment), county 23, or county 152.
True on the last one...One occasionally hears the other two, especially south of Apple Valley for County 23. It's not common on the Hwy 77 stretch, though.
It should also be noted that, in light of NE2's comment, the stretch of MN 77/Cedar Ave from the Mall of America down to I-35E was all new-alignment construction, not an "ordinary street given freeway upgrade".
The amusing thing about the southern Cedar Ave freeway alignment is that Cedar Ave retains its name south of the end of the freeway, technically displaced from the grid from its northern at-grade portion in Minneapolis, unlike other arteries like, say, Portland Ave and Nicollette Ave.
Has to do with the old Cedar Ave bridge (ca. 1890) being in place before the streetnaming grid.

Wichita's one example is semi-famous: Kellogg Avenue (US 54-400), which despite the name is a full freeway for 13 miles.
Ya beat me to it! You think they will ever just call it Kellogg Expressway? I hope not. How about a new name? This could carry over to the Central States....

This is one case where a previous regular surface street was progressively upgraded over the years to become a full freeway. These upgrades are still under way.

I usually refer to it as "The Kellogg Freeway," and if you Google those words, inside quotation marks, you'll find that I'm not the only one.

In Omaha, US 6 west of I-680 is officially West Dodge Road, although everyone calls it Dodge Street, largely because it is a westward extension of what is officially Dodge Street.
Jacksonville, Florida did call part of the freeway section of US 1 Alternate the 20th Street Expressway. 20th Street itself was the arterial section that is mainline US 1 after US 1 Alternate ended and continued under I-95 transforming from freeway to street status. However, the signs on I-95 for US 1 South leading to US 1 Alternate did say 20th Street as well as US 1 Northbound at Exit 354 the transitioning point.
Now that it is all the Martin Luther King Parkway both US 1 and its child, I am sure they do not call that section of freeway the M.L.K Parkway Expressway as Parkway is a common name for a freeway, hence New York State.

Beltline Rd. in Eugene, OR is a freeway (other than the last mile or 2 before OR-126) from I-5 to OR-126 on the west side of Eugene. It now has a state route number, OR-569 (it used to not), but Beltline Rd. is the most common name for it.
Just looked on Wikipedia, and apperantly its official name is now "Randy Papé Beltline", but whatever, it'll always be Beltline Rd. to me :P

I've never heard anyone refer to it at all, so I don't really know how people call it, but as of yesterday (Saturday), when I drove it both directions in its entirety, signage on both I-93 and I-495 still refer to it as both MA 213 and the Loop Connector, with the small text next to the shields.
Other connectors in New England include the Mass Ave Connector in Boston, and the Biddeford and Scarborough connectors off the Maine Turnpike.
This reminded me of another notable name - the "Maine Turnpike Approach", which connects the Maine Turnpike to 295, the Maine Mall, the Scarborough Connector, and US 1 in South Portland. I've seen this name on multiple maps, and it is used in MaineDOT's 511 alerts, so I presume it's official.
On connectors, Columbus has a few. They're surface streets. There's Main St — Rich St Connector, one way northbound, which may have at one time carried US 33 n-westbound. There's also the Goodale — Neil Connector, but I think that's just signed as Vine St now. I want to say there's a third example but I can't remember where.
So I suppose Connector is an "ordinary" street name suffix after all, as central Ohio has more of those as surface streets than as freeways. But I would also consider this to be a different phenomenon from state route spurs like Georgia state route CONN 347.

"kingery" sounds like some archaic crime. "he was arrested for allegedly committing three counts of kingery, and one count of affray, all with the same goat."
For some of the Chicago area examples, I should point out that the segments mentioned are simply controlled-access portions of otherwise surface-level roads. I hardly think we should expect them to rename, for example, that 2.5-mile portion of Roosevelt Road just because there happen to be no cross-streets or entrances along there. The Roosevelt Road name, after all extends 34 miles, from Lake Shore Drive to the Geneva village line.

It's actually a name, Robert Kingery, former Director of Illinois Public Works (forerunner of IDOT), Regional Director of the Chicago Regional Planning Association, and a proponent of the current Illinois Tollway configuration around Chicago. He died in 1951, and his name was applied to the Kingery Expressway (I-80/94) in 1953, and also applied to the highway in DuPage County (IL-83).

That's actually point of variation across the country in American English. According to one of the maps at http://www.businessinsider.com/22-maps-that-show-the-deepest-linguistic-conflicts-in-america-2013-6, much of the country (including Ohio) tends to prefer the word "highway" as a general term for a major road for high-speed travel. According to that same map, some places prefer "freeway" for that, and some places use both, but with a slight distinction in meaning between the two.
But yes, "highway" can also mean essentially any public road, even a gravel township-maintained road. But clearly for many people, it implies an important road, possibly even a freeway. For some people, on the other hand (perhaps many from Lenawee County, MI) "highway" is much more likely to be part of an ordinary road name like "road" or "pike".
But the question "What is your general term for a big road that you drive relatively fast on?" doesn't even imply to me that it has to be four lanes, even. US-400 between Wichita and Pittsburg is a big road that I drive relatively fast on, yet it is in no way an expressway or a freeway. It is a highway, though.

Part of the problem inherent in the point you raise is that they had to come up with a way to frame it without using a leading question.
Indeed. But that doesn't mean it's OK for the purpose of this thread to say that "Highway 50" in O'Fallon, Missouri, is erroneous because it's a two-lane road.
(As we all know, "Highway 50" in O'Fallon, Missouri, is erroneous because it's no longer 50.

Woodhaven Road (PA 63) in Philadelphia is one example. As far as I know, this is the full proper name of the freeway itself, in addition to the frontage roads (which were originally just a surface road of the same name).
The recently upgraded southernmost section of PA 28 in Pittsburgh is labeled on Google Maps as East Ohio Street, which was the name of the old four-lane road. I have no idea if this is still the official name, though if it were, it wouldn't mean much as there's nothing fronting it anymore.

Portions of Kenilworth Avenue in PG County, Maryland. Some people, including some radio traffic reporters, extend the "Kenilworth Avenue" designation southwest to cover part of what is now designated DC-295. I believe in the District that name technically refers to the service roads but became the common name for the highway because there was no other useful designation for it when it didn't have a number.
I don't know if this one counts because when I was a kid it was a rural two-lane road that has now been rebuilt into a six-lane freeway: Most of Sully Road north of I-66 in Fairfax County, except for a very small segment just north of the Interstate. This is VA-28, the infamous "I-366 with an 85-mph speed limit" of forum lore (for those not familiar, that's a longstanding joke here, and the speed limit is a universally-ignored 55 mph). I say "I don't know if this one counts" because it's not clear to me whether the OP wants freeway-type roads that were built as such but given names as if they were surface streets, or whether roads rebuilt into freeways count. Certainly "Sully Road" was a perfectly normal name for the two-lane road and it's also perfectly normal to leave a road's name in place when it's upgraded. Not too many people still call it by its name, though–nowadays "Route 28" is more common (with "route" pronounced either way, "rout" or "root," depending on who's speaking).
(Edited to fix a typo. My iPad's autocorrect stubbornly insists on capitalizing "road" most of the time regardless of how I'm using the word, and I usually don't notice it. In this case, it had changed what I typed to read "perfectly normal name for the two-lane Road." :angry:)

Thanks. I read somewhere that it was just the service roads, but I worded it the way I did because I wasn't sure. I kind of figured the usage had been around for such a long time that there had to be some legitimate reason for it!

CA-87 Guadalupe Parkway in San Jose is a Freeway.
Summerlin Parkway Las Vegas/Clark County area is a freeway.
Doyle Drive/Presidio Parkway in San Francisco is a Freeway going to the Golden Gate Bridge.
So we should include all the parkways in New York?
And Kentucky?
Parkways almost always have four lanes, a landscaped median, and some form of access control. Therefore, something called a "parkway" that is a full freeway doesn't exactly defy expectations - In fact, almost every parkway I can think of is either a freeway or expressway. Essentially, no, parkways are not what I'm looking for.
It would be much more interesting to discuss the reverse: surface streets/two-lane roads named as a "parkway". Thousand Islands Parkway comes to mind.

Eh, not really. Those aren't even remotely unusual; I could likely produce dozens of examples in metro Atlanta alone. Maybe not two lanes, necessarily, but very much surface roads with little to no access control.

Indeed. (https://goo.gl/maps/j6tmn3Ax2Cx) (That's a Street View link to a residential street named "The Parkway.") I don't think there's anything special about the word "Parkway" except in places where that designation carries a restriction, such as the prohibition on commercial traffic in New York.
Quote from: 1995hoo on July 21, 2018, 12:32:47 PMI don't think there's anything special about the word "Parkway"
I agree, in the sense that parkway doesn't generally refer to any one type of road - it can be used for both a surface boulevard
and a full freeway in different circumstances.
Therefore, roads called "parkways" just aren't a good fit for this thread, because there's no existing expectation of what a "parkway" should look like that is defied if it is in fact a freeway. Similarly, no big shocker if a "parkway" is in fact a street in a residential neighborhood.
We're looking for roads that have names with a lot less ambiguity (street, avenue, drive, etc. - very distinctly non-freeway type of names) used to refer to full freeways.

By definition, a parkway is an open landscaped highway. I understand, as you've just shown, that basically any type of road can be named parkway regardless of whether it meets the above criteria.
In New York State, we have the state parkways, which are very distinctly "open landscaped highways" in most cases. Two lane roads or business parks are rarely named "parkway", though I'm sure someone will come up with a counterexample. Just goes to show the ambiguity of the word "parkway".

Omaha has West Dodge Road, which people mistakenly call Dodge Street.
Sam Cooper Boulevard in Memphis (the uncompleted section of I-40).
President St, a de facto southern extension of I-83, since the south end connection to I-95 was never built. There's also portions of PA 12, the Warren St. bypass in Reading, that are full freeway.
Off the top of my head:
- Sully Rd: a six-lane freeway portion of VA-28 near Dulles.
- Most of the freeways around Greensboro have some sort of surface street name:
- Fordham Blvd: I-40 through town.
- Preddy Blvd: Old I-85 / BL-85 through town.
- Bryan Blvd: Part of I-73 west of I-840, runs as a solo freeway into town.
- OHenry Blvd: US-29 through downtown.
- Wendover Ave: Has a decently-long freeway portion.
- Painter Blvd: Refers to the entirety (IIRC) of the Greensboro Urban Loop (All of I-840, parts of I-73, 85, and 785)
- Google seems to refer to the freeway section of US-220 between I-40 and I-73 as part of Freeman Mill Road, but I have no other evidence of this.
- Jarvis Klapman Blvd: A short freeway section of SC-12 in Columbia.
- Minnesota Dr and O'Malley Blvd in Anchorage, AK have a section of freeway that connects the airport to AK-1. (It may have a different name by now, haven't been up there in awhile)
Doyle Drive in San Francisco; the south approach to the Golden Gate Bridge and part of US 101. Formerly a narrow multilane viaduct, now (since reconstruction) a wider multilane viaduct/tunnel. West of the Marina Blvd. intersection it's limited access (that intersection used to be a semi-directional "Y" interchange with US 101 doing a TOTSO).
Congress Parkway, which still holds some freeway designation from I-90/94 to Wells St east of I-290s ending

Marina actually has a different new interchange with 101/Presidio Parkway/Doyle Drive, a partial diamond:
https://goo.gl/maps/3D6SiMFLFM12
First intersection is where 101 becomes Richardson Avenue, at Lyon Street.
At one point the Marina Boulevard through lanes on the pre-2015 TOTSO configuration were proposed to be part of Interstate 480 (as was the entirety of Doyle Drive)!
The Roosevelt Expressway in Philadelphia (US 1 between I-76 and Broad Street) is popularly known as the Roosevelt Boulevard (the official designation it has north of there, where it really is a surface boulevard. Sometimes it's also called "Roosevelt Boulevard Extension". Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Camden (US 30 east of the I-676/US 30 split) is a Jersey freeway (no median breaks, but access to businesses on the same side of the road).
Another Virginia example is Dominion Blvd (US 17) in Chesapeake, which is now a full freeway between VA 168 and Grassfield Pkwy.
US 183 is Ed Bluestein and turns into Anderson Lane....while Anderson Lane exits and becomes a street and 183 become Research Blvd.
forgot to mention another San Diego example: Kearny Villa Road in the Miramar MCAS airbase area, former I-15 and previously US 395.
The Friars Road arterial is essentially a freeway with no interruption between Frazee Road and River Run Drive in San Diego's Mission Valley.
Palatine Rd in North Suburban Chicago tries really, really, really hard to be a Freeway between I-294/Tri-State and the IL 53 Freeway, but it just doesn't quite get there, as it still has a few At Grades, despite having many Grade Separations AND Express/Local (or Mainline/Frontage, depending or perspective) Lane setups
Collins Rd (IA-100) in Cedar Rapids is a freeway west of I-380. I don't know how far west it's signed as Collins Rd, as until recently it only extended about a mile west of I-380.
Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Though mentioned already, Kellogg Avenue in Wichita (as it was a surface street at one time).
Burlington Street in Hamilton, ON.
Queen Elizabeth Way between Toronto and Fort Erie in Ontario is a big freeway given a local street name. You figure that it should be Queen Elizabeth Highway or even Freeway.

Interestingly, the freeway portion recently was renamed...to Nikola Tesla Boulevard, so yet another surface street type suffix.

In the US, this would be a 3 digit interstate and the QEW as a 2 digit route. This freeway acts as a spur of QEW and is like a child of it.
Yeah, but giving it another street name is odd. I can see Burlington Street cause that was a surface road until it became elevated, but it should be Nikola Tesla Highway or even Expressway or a freeway type suffix.
I am also surprised the MTO did not assign it a 400 series route number being a freeway.
Sam Cooper Blvd in Memphis which was supposed to be I-40 until the portion near Overton Park was cancelled.
Wayzata Blvd in Minneapolis which is I-394.
Amarillo:
* I-27 / US 60 / US 87 south of I-40 is still officially Canyon Drive (but it's been an interstate for decades now; most locals call it "the E-way", as in Canyon Expressway, one candidate that should be considered if the city ever gets around to renaming it)
* US 87 / US 287, the freeway part north of downtown is still officially Dumas Drive (which is as dumb and outdated as the Canyon Drive name IMO)
Butler Blvd. in Jacksonville, FL is mostly a freeway. In fact only the small section from US 1 to I-95 is only a street. East of I-95 to its terminus at FL A1A is all freeway now.
Most of Peachtree Industrial Blvd northeast of Atlanta is a surface road, but about 4 miles of it was upgraded to a freeway in the mid-1990s and the name wasn't changed.

iPhone
Kellogg was, yes, but I think it's officially Kellogg Ave. (JN? Richie?). Kellogg Drive is the name of the frontage roads that exist now.
Research Park Boulevard here in Huntsville, AL probably qualifies.
Keystone Parkway in Carmel from north of 96th Street to U.S. 31 may not be the most freeway-kind of freeway but it is freeflowing with interchanges. The roadway became a "freeway" after losing its numerical designation (Indiana 431) when the state decommissioned the highway.

The signs on I-235 refer to it as an Avenue. The signs on I-135 call it just plain Kellogg. The reason for the signs on I-135 being that way is cause most streets in Wichita are called by name and no suffix. My friend lives on Pawnee Street but its called Pawnee and even when I mail a letter to him I just use the Pawnee name just as the exit guide on I-135 reads.
I-395 in Baltimore bears the honorofic, but unofficial, name of Cal Ripken Way.
Two that quickly come to my mind in Wisconsin, both disconnected from any other systems, are Campus Dr in Madison and the Mason St Fox River Bridge in Green Bay.

I'm not sure I would call Campus Drive or Mason Street "freeways." They are mostly surface streets with a short stretch of freeway like features. Campus Drive is less than a mile, and that stretch of Mason is a hair over a mile.
Lake Parkway in Milwaukee is another one in Wisconsin.
In the southern Twin Cities metro, the entirety of the MN 77 freeway is also called Cedar Ave. And unlike some of the other examples, it's unambiguously a freeway for 10+ miles.

The most amusing one near me is one that really shouldn't count, but CalTrans bothered to put in the "end freeway" and "begin freeway" signs for it:
Skyline Boulevard/Route 35 between Westmoor Avenue in Daly City, and Hickey Boulevard in Pacifica.
Exactly one exit (a full-system interchange between the Route 1 freeway and Skyline with three cloverleaf ramps and one flyover from 1 south to 35 south).

In Rochester, NY the freeway portion of NY104 from Veterans Memorial Bridge to NY590 is often called the Keeler St Expressway by radio traffic reporters. While Keeler St does cross over NY104 it has no connection with it.
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Kenilworth Avenue in Washington, DC is not a street but a full freeway. I figure if it wasn't I'd mention it.
Kenilworth Ave. is part of DC Route 295.
In Macomb County, I-696 is sometimes referred to by the road it was built over, 11 Mile Rd.
The old Business 40 (current US 421) in Winston-Salem, NC, is called Salem Parkway.
I-564 is called Admiral Taussig Blvd, the road it was built on top of (formerly VA 170), although a couple of non-freeway pieces of Taussig Blvd still exist, namely VA 337 between Hampton Blvd and I-564, and a short back street between US 460 and VA 165.
VA 27 is a full freeway for its entire length and is named Washington Blvd.
It's fairly short, but there's Allen Road in Toronto (4.5 miles). It is along the route of the once-proposed (but never built) Spadina Expressway, which was cancelled in 1971.
Quote from: Evan_Th on April 17, 2024, 12:56:06 PMThe old Business 40 (current US 421) in Winston-Salem, NC, is called Salem Parkway.
And this street name is most unusual, having been selected in a 2016 contest by NCDOT District 9 requesting suggestions for renaming the freeway. Thirteen (13) supposedly independent individuals suggested the name "Salem Parkway", and the runner-up name was "Piedmont Corridor". The section of the former "Green 40" was closed down for reconstruction starting in late 2018, and the name change wasn't official until after the freeway reopened on February 2, 2020.
I don't know if it's different elsewhere, but in this neck of the woods a parkway is just as likely to be a freeway as not. Of course, in New York state "parkway" also means "no trucks", so there is a difference between freeway parkways and other freeways, but a large chunk of the Garden State Parkway allows trucks.

California's usage of Parkway can be pretty variable too:
Arroyo Seco Parkway (former US 66, now Route 110) fits the New York definition - which makes sense, given its 1943 origins. Limited-access, trucks not allowed.
Guadalupe Parkway in San Jose (Route 87) is a freeway that is pretty much Interstate-standard and allows trucks, and had SPUIs added to it in the last decade and a half.
Richmond Parkway (approximate corridor of planned Route 93, but not a state route) is a expressway with some intersections and interchanges.
Los Patrones Parkway in Orange County is very much "Yeah, this is a Route 241 full freeway extension, but let's not say it is", kinda like how Presidio Parkway in San Francisco is an 2010s Interstate-standard upgrade of the old US 101 Doyle Drive freeway, but with excessively slow speed limits near the tunnel segments.
Then we have stuff that is straight up surface road (Guadalupe Canyon Parkway in Brisbane/Daly City, Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont)
I-55 in St. Louis area crosses the Mississippi River on the "Poplar St. Bridge". I-70 now has its own bridge.
