Local roads keeping the same name after crossing state lines

[golden eagle]

In the Memphis area, Mill Branch Road and Airways Blvd. keep the same name when they cross into Mississippi. I believe Getwell Road does the same thing too. At the Illinois-Wisconsin border, both Green Bay and Sheridan roads keep their names when crossing into the other state. And looking at a map of Chicago, Lincoln Highway (U.S. 30) crosses between Illinois and Indiana with the same name.

There's a whole bunch of these in the Kansas City area. Kansas City, MO and Johnson County, KS use the same numbering system with E-W streets, so there are many E-W numbered streets that carry the same designation across the state line.

I'd almost say this is more common than not. All three roads which cross out of Stamford, CT into New York keep their names: East Middle Patent Road, Long Ridge Road (CT 104), and High Ridge Road (CT 137). For some really local roads, try heading to Pemberwick. Most of those residential side streets keep their names on both ides of the state line.

Of course, perhaps the most extreme CT/NY example is King Street. Better known as NY 120A.

that changes to CT-120A, no?

Nope. The entire road is maintained by NYSDOT, even the parts in Connecticut.

Same goes for I-684.

[agentsteel53]

it's signed as NY-120A in Conn?

it's signed as NY-120A in Conn?

Poorly, but yes. There are NYSDOT reference markers, too.

Warwick Tpk., NJ-NY, just a county route on either side.  If you look for that border crossing and scroll either way, you'll see plenty more.

A 10 year old thread has been brought back from the dead.

Every road except Detroit St heading north out of Toledo into Michigan keeps its name.

[ftballfan]

Gumwood Rd keeps its name when it crosses north from Indiana to Michigan. The same can be said for Elkhart Rd, Adamsville Rd, and Cassopolis St.

[Big John]

WI 31 turns to IL 131 but remains Green Bay Rd on both sides.

It's not just Johnson County, KS that uses KCMO's numbering system.  Cass County, MO and Miami County, KS also share the numbering system.

As I know - I live in KC. I think the numbered streets in Miami County go as high as the 400's.

It has always irked me that Wyandotte County had to be different. This caused an intersection with multiple 47th Streets on the county line. To thier credit, they matched up with KCMO with E-W numbered avenues in Rosedale.

I wonder if this was a result of the original cities being far enough apart that it might not have mattered?

Abbott Dr., Locust St. And Avenue H between Omaha, NE and Carter Lake, Iowa. Avenue J retains the name in Omaha despite not being continuous with Carter Lake's Avenue J.

The intersection of 47th Street and 47th Street could be easily resolved if Johnson County just re-named its 47th Street as 47th Avenue, or adopted Wyandotte County's County Line Road name for it, the latter option only being prudent if Johnson County doesn't officially use "County Line Road" for 215th Street.

For what it's worth Wyandotte County's street numbering system also extends into Leavenworth County.

It may have to do with KCK being bashed together from a bunch of different municipalities. Rosedale, Argentine, and Turner were all independent towns at one point.

I didn't construe that as a "local road" because it's an Interstate highway. That's also why I listed the GW Parkway in the way I did–as a general matter, I interpret "local road" as meaning either a surface street or an arterial that primarily functions as a surface street despite possibly having some segments that use interchanges instead (Washington Boulevard and Arlington Boulevard fall into the latter category). The GW Parkway doesn't fall within either of those categories, but it also doesn't quite rise to the level of an Interstate.

According to GMaps, I-84 remains named as the Wilbur Cross Highway in MA.

[NWI_Irish96]

Gumwood Rd keeps its name when it crosses north from Indiana to Michigan. The same can be said for Elkhart Rd, Adamsville Rd, and Cassopolis St.

While all of those are known unofficially by those names on the Indiana side of the border, they are officially known as CR 5, CR 7, and IN 19. IN 19 does pick up the official title of Cassopolis St once inside the Elkhart city limits, but there's a 2 mile gap where IN 19 is the only official name.

Chicago Rd, Orange Rd, Mayflower Rd, Portage Rd and Ironwood Rd are other St Joseph County roads in addition to Gumwood that keep their names in Michigan.
