Roads with unfitting road name suffixes

<< < (2/12) > >>

1:
Weisner Parkway in Methuen MA is a residential street.

I remember an intersection in New York City recently being labeled Sesame Street. An intersection. Not a street.

GaryV:
N/S roads in Lenawee County, MI, are called "Hwy", even if they're just a dirt track.

SP Cook:
- All of Kentucky’s former toll roads are a “parkway”.  While they go through some scenic parts of the state, they are not really parkways.

- One of Charleston’s major suburban roads is the Kanawha Turnpike.  It was never a toll road, AFAIK. 

SectorZ:
I know of numerous dead-end roads or small residential roads north of Boston that are "parkways" yet really don't deserve the moniker.

I'll add any "Broadway St" to the list.

BlueOutback7:
Watson Parkway in Danvers, MA. Just a glorified connector from MA 114 to Centre St. Doesn’t feel like a parkway. Also Dalton Parkway in Salem.
