Longest Street name in Your Area

[TheStranger]

Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, a one-block stretch of Polk Street in San Francisco's Civic Center area, where City Hall is located:

While not in my immediate area, this one in PA always caught my eye while riding along the Turnpike.

While not in my immediate area, this one in PA always caught my eye while riding along the Turnpike.

PA does tend to have long town names of that style–a long-ish surname followed by "-sville", "-sburg", "-stown" and the like–and that's a good example. McConnellsburg is another.

[Brandon]

The longest one I can think of is Michigan City Road in my area.

We could inlcude the Bishop Louis Henry Ford Freeway in your area as well.  I prefer just Calumet Expressway, but I digress.

We have some pretty long road names in Lucas County, like Archbold-Whitehouse or Waterville-Swanton or even Neapolis-Waterville but the longest in the county is this one:

http://tinyurl.com/qj9zajy

Providence-Neapolis-Swanton Road, sometimes abbreviated as Prov-Neap-Swan Road or P-N-S Road.

[KG909]

Probably San Bernardino Ave, I'll look for longer, though.

[DevalDragon]

Miamisburg - Centerville Road Road and Cincinnati - Dayton Road in SW Ohio are my 2 favorites for long names.

[vtk]

Cincinnati — Dayton Road in SW Ohio

Often abbreviated Cin—Day Rd.

[tckma]

Growing up on Long Island, I often wondered if there was ever a longer street name than Bread and Cheese Hollow Road.

Then, when I moved to Massachusetts in 2000, I found the Old Road to Nine Acre Corner, abbreviated on blade signs to Old Road To 9 A.C.

[US 41]

In Illinois there is a Lower Terre Haute Road and in Vigo County there is a Lower Bloomington Road. Those are probably the two longest in my area.

[noelbotevera]

Mallard Drive East. That's almost as long as Chambersburg. It's in my neighborhood and is probably the longest street name in a 5 mile radius from my house. If you want my area, Buchanan Highway (in Greencastle) takes the cake.

[Rothman]

Brunswick Sportsman Club Road

[Scott5114]

Norman has an arterial named Chautauqua Avenue (10), which turns into Bratcher Miner Road (13 not counting the space).

I'm sure a good number of cities have a Pennsylvania (12). Oklahoma City does, but most people just call it Penn.

Kansas City, KS has a Metropolitan (12). Out in the Johnson County suburbs, there's Shawnee Mission Parkway (14), which KDOT has both spelled out in full across three lines and abbreviated to "Sh Mn Pky".

[Thing 342]

Hampton Roads Center Parkway
Commander Shepard Boulevard
George Washington Memorial Highway
Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel

[busman_49]

Mulberry Grove-Rakestraw Rd. outside of Piqua, OH, is one that stands out in my mind.  Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue either 

[Rothman]

I suppose there's Troy-Schenectady Road and Watervliet-Shaker Road around here, too.  Still, every time I pass that Brunswick Sportsman Club Road, it sticks out to me.

[slorydn1]

Dover-Fort Barnwell Road in the western part of my county is the one that comes to mind for me.


Oh, and of course the ubiquitous Dr Martin Luther King Junior Blvd-I almost forgot it because everyone short hands it as MLK anyway.

[The High Plains Traveler]

Pueblo CO: Red Creek Springs Road. I might find a longer name on one of the streets named for an individual but one doesn't come to mind at the moment.

[clong]

I would submit the intersection in Birmingham, AL, which until 10 years ago or so would have been 21st St N and 8th Ave N, but is now Richard Arrington Jr Blvd N and Reverend Abraham Woods Jr Blvd N.

Also in the suburb of Homewood, there are some sections that name streets for the 2 streets they are between which produce a lot of long names. Sutherland Manhattan is between Sutherland Pl and Manhattan St for example.

[Bruce]

Martin Luther King Jr. Way South was the longest name in Seattle until South Roberto Maestas Festival Street was designated on a one-block stretch of South Lander Street on Beacon Hill:

[kphoger]

When I say street name, I mean don't include the words "road, street parkway" etc.

Chancellor Matheson Road is the longest one I can think of.

Fail.

For Wichita, "George Washington" is pretty long, but a lot of the signs abbreviate it to "Geo Wash".

[Charles2]

Hoover, AL (suburban Birmingham): Rocky Ridge Ranch Road.  19 letters, 3 spaces, and alliterative, to boot. 

[mariethefoxy]

Long Island ones

Quaker Meeting House Road
Bread and Cheese Hollow Road
Moriches Middle Island Road
Patchogue-Holbrook Road

NYC ones
Dr Theodore Kazmiroff Blvd in the Bronx
Van Cortlandt Park East

[kj3400]

The only ones I can think of are:
Baltimore National Pike
Baltimore Washington Parkway
Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard
Governor Ritchie Highway

though all of these are usually abbreviated on signs.

[tckma]

Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard

I'm sure there are a lot of lazy town-to-town named roads, particularly in rural areas.  Off the top of my head, here in Carroll County we have Keysville-Bruceville Road, which apparently needed two blade signs to fit.  (Francis Scott Key Highway, I've found, is generally abbreviated on blade signs as "F.S.K. Hwy.")
