Intersections where both roads change names

[jp the roadgeek]

Just thought of another in Bristol, CT that qualifies: the eastern terminus of the US 6/CT 69 overlap.  Here, CT 69 departs US 6 to the north on Burlington Ave.  The portion west of the intersection (the overlap) is known as North St.  US 6 east of the overlap is known as Farmington Ave.  Meanwhile, you have a city street (Maple St.) coming in from the south directly across from Burlington Ave.

In Omaha, 132nd Street southbound turns into Millard Boulevard and L Street westbound turns into Industrial Boulevard.

Here's one in Huntsville, AL:

One I go through every day just south of Ypsilanti: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2150632,-83.6190563,207m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

East leg: Huron River Dr
South leg: Whittaker Rd
West leg: Morgan Rd (dead ends not far from there; serves mainly as a back access to/from a nearby strip mall)
North leg: Huron Rd

Another one in Ypsilanti: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2602512,-83.6496584,672m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en
East leg: Huron River Dr

North leg: McAuley Dr

At this intersection in Atlanta, Peachtree St becomes Whitehall St while Memorial Dr turns into Forsyth St (and there's a bonus fifth leg, Cooper St, too).

Originally, the Peachtree-to-Whitehall name change occurred farther north at Five Points; back then, it would itself have served as an example, with Marietta St changing to Decatur St at the same intersection (also with a fifth leg, Edgewood Ave).

Also just west of there is where Windsor Street turns into Ted Turner Drive (formerly Spring Street), about where they pass under Whitehall.

Does it count if both roads (e/w and n/s) change names, but the west and south legs have the same name?  (and for interest, the west leg is named "East")

Another interesting intersection 1/2 mile s and 1/2 mile east - South leg is S Commerce, west leg is W Commerce, east leg is Commerce (without a directional) and north is Carroll Lake Rd.

A few in the Memphis area:

S. Germantown Road becomes West Street where McVay Road (or at least a stub that was supposed to become realigned McVay Road...) becomes Poplar Pike:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Memphis,+TN/@35.0860171,-89.8138366,16.89z

Danny Thomas Blvd becomes Thomas St at the same intersection A.W. Willis Ave (formerly Auction Ave) becomes North Parkway:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Memphis,+TN/@35.1555806,-90.0391165,16.64z
These examples only count if you consider each of the Parkways a separate road:

East Parkway becomes N. Trezevant Street (trivia: I don't think there's a S. Trezevant...),while North Parkway becomes Summer Avenue:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Memphis,+TN/@35.1508224,-89.9825945,17.06z

More confusingly, there's a section of S. Parkway East in the middle of E. Parkway South (or vice versa), which results in two of these happening:
S. Parkway East becomes Spottswood Ave, while E. Parkway South becomes Airways Blvd, and
E. McLemore becomes S. Parkway East while S. Cooper Street becomes E. Parkway South

https://www.google.com/maps/@42.5961771,-83.4941654,15z?hl=en

Atlanta has one of these, too. E Morningside Dr (the west leg) becomes E Rock Springs Rd (the east leg), while N Pelham Rd (the north leg) becomes N Morningside Dr (the south leg). The directional prefixes in this area make absolutely no sense at all (and for bonus points, they all take a NE suffix).

Well, I guess it does involved two independent name changes. Similar to what I mentioned above in Pittsford NY, where there are two independent route changes, but still one route that continues (albeit via a turn) through the intersection.

So I will (somewhat hesitatingly) say it counts, at least as far as I'm concerned.

The east-west road becomes South Street in Cerritos (Los Angeles County) and Orangethorpe Avenue in La Palma (Orange County).  The north-south road becomes Carmenita Road in Cerritos and Moody Street in La Palma. 

[lepidopteran]

In Kettering, OH, near Dayton, you got one where:

Going east,
Dorothy Lane --> Indian Ripple Rd.
Going south,
County Line Rd. --> Stroop Rd.

The reason for the east-west change is because it goes from Montgomery County to Greene County, as the name of one of the north-south roads would indicate.  The road to the south changes because it turns into an e-w thoroughfare in Kettering, and as such no longer follows the county border.

Signal Dr (SW) becomes East Blvd (NE) and Kellogg Pl (NW) becomes E Signal Dr (SE).

If that's the case, then in Patchogue, West Main Street becomes East Main Street, where South Ocean Avenue, becomes North Ocean Avenue.

Then again, I tend to think of those in the opposite direction because I lived far northeast of the four corners of Patchogue most of my life.

[webny99]

If that's the case, then in Patchogue, West Main Street becomes East Main Street, where South Ocean Avenue, becomes North Ocean Avenue.

There's a few key differences between this one and the ones you quoted. I disallowed this scenario in Reply #5, because the base of the name doesn't change when you go straight through.

In the replies from myself and GaryV, the actual name (or route number) changes when you proceed straight through on either road.

[dvferyance]

The only one in my area and I don't think it counts anymore is in Franklin were the east west road is Church St and Drexel Ave. The main north south road is Lovers Lane some maps mark the south section as 100th St however there is no signage for it so I assume that the whole thing is now Lovers Lane.

Not sure if this is a legit example but I'm gonna try it... In Hanover County, Va west of Ashland, there's an intersection close to where I lived at one point where Ashland, Ashcake, Blanton, and Greenwood Church Roads meet. Ashland and Ashcake Roads are the same roadway, however SR 657 and SR 666 "crisscross" at this intersection. Here's what I'm talking about:

Yep, absolutely counts, as far as I'm concerned, since there's two independent name changes.
Westbound 657 comes in at an angle, such that the intersection is slightly atypical, but that by no means disqualifies it.

I'm lobbing a softball here...

Downtown Chicago, at the Jane Byrne Circle Interchange...

Kennedy Expressway to the North (90/94); Ryan Expressway to the South (90/94); Eisenhower Expressway to the West (290); Congress Parkway to the East/South Loop, Chicago

I guess it counts, although, I was certainly thinking of at-grade intersections in my OP.
I don't think we'll find many cases like that one. Many freeways don't have names at all, much less names that are widely used, and on all four approaches, too. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the only one in the US, unless there are others in the Chicago area that I'm not aware of.

[Traffic]

There are at least 2 locations in Raleigh, NC.  The most notable is Old Wake Forest Road/Litchford/Dixie Forest/Atlantic.  There is another at Lassiter Mill/St. Marys/White Oak/Scotland.   I'm sure there are one or 2 others.

[PHLBOS]

Another one in Peabody, MA (Central, Foster, Lowell & Main Sts.)

The only one I know of in Nevada involving major streets.

In the Sun Valley area of Reno: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.569638,-119.7814917,18z
South: Clear Acre Lane (SR 443)
North: Sun Valley Blvd (SR 443)
East: El Rancho Dr
West: Dandini Blvd


Not allowable according to the criteria of the thread since there's only three legs, but a notable mention: The Las Vegas area has the "Rat Pack Intersection", where Dean Martin Dr changes to Sammy Davis Jr Dr at the intersection of Frank Sinatra Dr.

That's also notable because all three legs have two-word names, which must be quite rare unto itself. They're also all potential names that people could have (or maybe each leg is ndeed named after someone  ).

Almost a 5-legger. US 79 near downtown Minden, LA

I wouldn't think that two word names are all that uncommon.

I'm sure hoping you're being sarcastic on that last part...
