Very unusual street suffixes

[DandyDan]

The Omaha area has a large number of Plaza's, although some of them are the street names apartment complexes use to put an address on individual apartment buildings.

[halork]

Tucson has "Paris Promenade".  I always thought that was a cool street name.

Driving home from Verizon Center last night on I-295 prompted me to remember the odd segment of Drake Place in Southeast DC that was renamed "Queen's Stroll." Some maps show it as "Queen's Stroll Place," but news reports at the time said it was to be simply "Queen's Stroll." The name commemorates a visit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1991. After addressing Congress, for some reason the Queen visited a run-down part of Southeast on the far side of the Anacostia River.

Owensboro, KY uses "Walk" as a suffix.

So does Long Beach, NY.  Although the streets that are walks are literally pedestrian only.  They're too narrow to fit a car down them.

[dgolub]

Suffolk County on Long Island is big on paths.  There's Straight Path, Hubbards Path, Old Willets Path, Stephen Hands Path, and Bicycle Path in various places throughout the county.  Yes, Bicycle Path is a road for cars--it's not a bicycle path.

Since moving to Alberta last year, I've seen suffixes that were definitely a bit more creative than what I'm used to seeing - Trail, Close, Wynd, Green, Chase, Heath, Pointe, and Landing are all suffixes I've encountered thus far, especially in the newer subdivisions adjacent to Anthony Henday Dr.

Pass as in Brett Favre Pass by Green Bay.

I feel like I've seen Passes somewhere else, but can't think of where it is.

That is a pretty imaginative way to name a street, though.

KY 118, the connector route between the Hal Rogers Parkway and KY 80/US 421 in Hyden, Leslie County, is named "Tim Couch Pass" after the former Leslie County High, UK and Cleveland Browns QB.

Heh.  Then there's the road near my mother's old home in Floyd County where the locals merely call it going "Up Skull."  My father, who was from Trenton, NJ, remarked that going "Up Skull" was the first time he saw a trailer straddle a creek...for obvious reasons.

A number of (generally higher-end) neighborhoods in the Richmond, VA area use "Trace", "Run", and "Chase". There are also a number of "Crescents", though that particular suffix isn't exactly rare.

Here in Spearfish we have a street with no suffix whatsoever: Tulane.

That's very common in Irvine, and a few other places in south Orange County:

Not sure how uncommon it is in other parts of the country, but Los Coyotes Diagonal in Long Beach is the only example of that suffix I can think of.

those roads likely do have suffixes, they just dont post them on the signs, which is very annoying.  Look at detroit for a lot of examples of this.  Also Pike is a good suffix.

[roadman65]

Tucker's Grade in Charlotte County, FL.  Although grade in itself is used for specific mountain hills, like on I-24 through Monteagle, PA which is called Monteagle Grade by most.  However, this road is not on a hill or climb, just the suffix.

Then you have Broadway where most people consider it to be a "Way" but its one whole name derived from the Dutch word "Broadwieg" where the famous street in NYC got its name from.

Park Row in Lower Manhattan near the Brooklyn Bridge is unusual.

Then you havye roads like Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa, FL where locals do not use the suffix and many believe that "Dale Mabry" is like "Bowery" in NYC.

Also Wichita, KS does not use suffixes on road signs along I-135 and US 54/400 and sign them with name only, even though some are avenues and streets officially.  Even Broadway is actually in reality "Broadway Avenue" in Wichita.

Earlier today I passed Tinner's Hill in Falls Church, Virginia. Don't know how common "Hill" is as a suffix, but that's the only one of which I know.

Had a friend in Annandale VA who lived on "The Midway". Can't say I ever heard that one elsewhere.

They are seen in other parts of the country.  Weirdest one I know is in Atlanta where there is a street named Boulevard.  There is no suffix since it is its own suffix.

Had a friend in Annandale VA who lived on "The Midway". Can't say I ever heard that one elsewhere.

Just south of Atlanta there is a subdivision road called Roses of Picardy: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6133261,-84.4547281,370m/data=!3m1!1e3

West Hartford, CT has a street called Boulevard.  Many people add "The" before it, but it's really just Boulevard.  It turns into West Blvd. at the Hartford line.

Had a friend in Annandale VA who lived on "The Midway". Can't say I ever heard that one elsewhere.

That sounds familiar. Is it off Duncan Drive? My parents live a short distance west of there near Guinea and 236.

Similarly, there's a street not far from our neighborhood called "The Parkway." My sat-nav, whose map does not show the suffix on any street, shows it as "The."

No, they actually do not have suffixes, per the City website (parcel search maps, general plan, etc.) and the USPS Zip Code lookup site.

Earlier today I passed Tinner's Hill in Falls Church, Virginia. Don't know how common "Hill" is as a suffix, but that's the only one of which I know.

Hills is common around here, usually referring to a steep-grade residential street. But never seen singular 'Hill.'

Then you have Broadway where most people consider it to be a "Way" but its one whole name derived from the Dutch word "Broadwieg" where the famous street in NYC got its name from.

Speaking of NYC, is 'Concourse' (as in Grand Concourse) actually considered a suffix?

[TravelingBethelite]

Here in Danbury, we have a "Wooster Heights". That's it. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3848944,-73.459393,15.75z

The USPS website lists an official abbreviation for "Stravenue", whatever that is.

At my old job, we had a customer whose address was on a "Portofino Strada". I looked it up and the neighborhood was full of Italian street names, so I'm guessing that's a suffix in Italian.

And of course, there's Kansas and Missouri and their Trafficways.

I have seen streets in suburban neighborhoods with Run and Rise as suffixes.

But do the Rises pass over the Runs at any point?

[GaryV]

... "Portofino Strada" ... so I'm guessing that's a suffix in Italian.

Yup, Strada = Road or Street

[right_said_ted]

Had a friend in Annandale VA who lived on "The Midway". Can't say I ever heard that one elsewhere.

This reminded me of Chicago's Midway Plaisance. How many other Plaisances could there possibly be?

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stravenue

A stravenue (portmanteau of street and avenue) is a type of road particular to Tucson, Arizona. The United States Postal Service officially supports the abbreviation STRA for stravenues.[1] A Stravenue runs "diagonally between and intersects a Street and an Avenue."

Reno, NV has two of an unusual one: Row

*Commercial Row - an east/west street downtown, next to the train track trench.
*Kings Row - an east/west minor collector road through a residential neighborhood. (The east end of this road intersects some cul-de-sacs such as King Arthur Ct.
