In many cities, a numbered route enters the urbanized area on broad two-way boulevard, and as it approaches the older and denser city center, the two directions of travel are split between a pair of one-way streets a block apart. Usually, the two directions of travel are reunited on the other side of downtown, and the route continues on to the next city.
For example, PA 145 enters Allentown from the north on 7th Street. 7th is a two-way street down to Washington Street, at which point the northbound lanes are diverted to 6th St. And as is typical, both 7th and 6th Streets remain one-way all the way to Union St, where the two directions of PA 145 are reunited as the two-way Lehigh Street.
But there's an interesting little quirk: As PA 145's two directions of travel make the connection to and from Lehigh Street via Union, there's one block where the eastbound lane of Union Street contains first PA 145 SB and then PA 145 NB, yet the opposing side of Union Street isn't PA 145 at all.
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2886/34043739542_4ab7a5a316.jpg)
Or in other words: You're headed southbound on PA 145, which is a two-way street at your present location. You realize you need to be heading north instead, so you make a quick U-turn, expecting that the opposing lane must be PA 145 North. But now you're not headed northbound on PA 145–and in fact you're no longer on PA 145 at all.
Are there any other places (I assume they'd be in cities), where one side of a street carries a numbered route, and the other side doesn't? Any place where this happens over a greater distance–say several blocks or even a mile or more?
MA 110 just east of MA 3A in Lowell is a one-way pair, except the roads are two-way for part of their lengths.

Interesting. In a pre-GPS era, I could imagine someone from–let's say Woodbridge–going on a spur-of-the-moment Sunday drive south on US 1. He stops at the Pizza Hut to get dinner, and afterward he realizes it's getting late and that he needs to get back home. So he simply makes a left out of the Pizza Hut assuming he's now back on US 1 northbound headed toward home. He'd drive along for a distance and then suddenly be forced to make right turn onto Canal Road. Surprisingly, there doesn't appear to be a "North US 1 ←" sign at Canal's intersection with US 1 North. So he might get dead-ended on Canal, turn around a few times, and end up going into the Dumfries Cafe to ask for directions.
Bunch of these in Rochester:
–Woodbury Blvd., from South Ave. to Clinton Ave., is NY 31 EB but not NY 31 WB.
–E. Broad St., from South Ave. to Stone St., is NY 31 WB but not NY 31 EB.
–South Ave., from Byron St. to Griffith St., is NY 15 SB but not NY 15 NB.
–Byron St., from South Ave. to Clinton Ave., is NY 15 NB but not NY 15 SB.

Many one-way pairs require at least one direction to use a separate street that only one direction of the route uses over to the parallel routing.
US 1 Bus in Fredericksburg does this on both ends of its split as does VA 3 Business on both ends of its.
What might be a little rarer is the OP example where both directions on the same end of the split do this.
The Dumfries example is one of the longer ones you can find, although up into the late 1990s there were US 1 North postings on the 2-way road the southbound direction uses (since VA 234 used to enter on Duke St US 1 North was posted to go left).
I seem to recall US-250 Business in Charlottesville falling into this category, and the streets in question are not one-way pairs. Eastbound, when it passes the Rotunda it continues down University Avenue and Main Street before going left near the Omni to cut around to the north of the Downtown Mall. Westbound, instead of following that route it goes up Preston Avenue to a left onto Grady Avenue, then left again onto Rugby Road until it hits the light near the Rotunda and rejoins the other direction on University Avenue on the hill near the libraries.

US 202 in Norristown, PA does this in ways that still confuse me.
Nexus 6P
It looks like it's since been reconfigured, but for a brief period about 15 years ago, portions of GA 20, GA 81, and GA 155 in McDonough did something like this.
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ften93.com%2F2017%2Fmcdonough2001.png&hash=186f67e7ffea9db0746d82811e7bd53a2dfc1444)
One block of Hazlehurst St carried (southbound) 155 south and (northbound) no numbered routes.
One block of Zack Hinton Pkwy carried (northbound) 20 east, 81 west, and 155 north, and (southbound) no numbered routes.
The situation for 155 has since been simplified, now running along Turner St, though while that block of Zack Hinton Pkwy now carries 155 on both sides, the 20/81 wrong-way concurrency is still only in one direction.
US 6 does this in New Bedford, MA when it goes over to local maintenance.
2 blocks of US 206 South in Trenton, between Lafayette St & Livingston St have a northbound lane not related to US 206 North.
It's not well signed (actually, not even signed at all at the roundabout that'll keep you on its route), and even the NJDOT Straight Line Diagrams don't show it properly as it shows both directions utilizing a one-way northbound street.
There is a portion of McGovern St in Lancaster that is 2 way and carries US 222 (and silently, PA 272) Southbound (cardinal direction west) for the purpose of creating the 2 one-way street portions of US 222/PA 272 through Downtown Lancaster. A 2 way portion of North Duke St just south of the split is also 2 way but only signed northbound.
US-6/30 does this in Joliet, along Jefferson Street and Collins Street (https://goo.gl/maps/DPE2fjXsVAL2) for a bit.
IL-53 does it for 1/2 a block on Jackson Street as well as a couple blocks on Ottawa Street and a few blocks on Chicago Street (https://goo.gl/maps/i2Ybi5bs8dA2).
Anyone bring up the messes with US 202, MA 141 and MA 116 in Holyoke, MA? Best yet, they aren't signed very well.
It's been awhile since I was there, but I believe Business US 20 westbound in Sioux City IA does this.
SR 99 has a very weird interchange (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/mapsdata/tools/InterchangeViewer/pdf/SR099/099X026.pdf) in south Seattle, where southbound traffic makes a giant loop (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.5365381,-122.3336384,15.89z?hl=en), which includes a significant amount of this.
The VDOT map for Bristol VA (http://www.virginiadot.org/VDOT/Travel/Bristol_Map.html) shows VA 113 westbound ending on Sycamore and eastbound starting on Cumberland -- but both roads are two-way and always have been. (Not that it matters much now that VA 113 is unsigned.) For those curious about the red line to the south of the VA 113 split, that carries US Truck 11/19.
US 26 in Portland:
Westbound veers off the Ross Island Bridge onto SW Corbett and SW Kelly Avenues. Southbound Corbett and eastbound Kelly are not part of US 26, as eastbound uses Ross Island Way on Naito Parkway's (HWY 1W, OR 10, former OR/US 99W) westflank.
US/MN 61 had this in Duluth from 1978-1997 when MN 61 was eliminated beyond the I-35 intersection. NB 61 following one-way 2nd Street dropped down 12th Avenue East (which was also one-way at the time) to connect to London Road, a two-way street. SB 61 followed one-way 14th Avenue East to connect from London up to one-way 3rd Street. So the section of London Road between 12th and 14th carried NB 61, but not SB 61.
How about 4 streets that are all two-way, with the numbered highway split among them? As a bonus, the directions cross each other twice.

In downtown South Bend, WB Business US 20 enters on Colfax St., turns right on Lafayette Blvd., and turns left on LaSalle Street. EB Bus. 20 enters on LaSalle, turns right on Main St., and turns left on Colfax. Historically, LaSalle and Colfax have always been two-way, while Lafayette was one-way north and Main was one-way south, explaining the reason for the split. Lafayette and Main were converted to two-way recently as part of the Smart Streets project. There has been no announcement regarding rerouting Bus. 20. I suspect that they won't bother. It's not like much traffic adheres to the numbered route anyway.

westbound* and finally merging onto I-5 before exiting in Eugene onto Franklin Blvd, which is also OR 126 Business. Going southbound, making the connection is a lot simpler.
(*Of course this depends on precisely where OR 58 "officially" begins. If it begins at the offramp from I-5 southbound, it runs concurrent with OR 99 southbound until that route splits, then runs as just OR 58, then OR 99
northbound joins it before U-turning and merging onto OR 58
westbound. To make matters worse, OR 99 isn't signed very consistently through this whole maze.)

And looks like a portion of Broad St carries PA 23 East between Chestnut and Orange.
Lancaster city has routings that don't always make sense to me.
I don't understand why PA 23 East (Chestnut) and PA 462 East (King) are on seperate one way streets, but PA 23/462 West are on the same one-way street (Orange).
And it looks like PA 72 North begins at Queen where 222/272 branch off onto Church. Where is the end of PA 72 South?
Nexus 6P
NY 24 does this in Queens, albeit for the section that's unsigned. The westbound lanes follow one-way 212 Street, while the eastbound lanes follow two-way Hollis Court Boulevard.
In New Jersey, CR 516 does this as it passes through Matawan. The eastbound lanes follow Broad Street, while the westbound lanes follow Main Street. Both are two-way streets.
There's a three-block section of West Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti, Michigan (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2410917,-83.6151027,18z) between Hamilton and Huron streets, where one side of the street carries westbound Bus. US 12, and the other side of the street carries eastbound M-17.
Bridge Street in Gary, IN does this for a block. Right now, Southbound Bridge carries WB US 12/20. In the past, though, US 12 followed Airport Rd and 4th St to this intersection, meaning southbound Bridge St carried EB 12 and WB 20 for a block, and NB Bridge didn't carry anything.

Of course, you're right! That's done, clearly, so that the opposing directions of NY 24 line up with the carriageways of I-295.
Watertown is this tread personified. Northbound US 11 follows Washington and Mill Streets via Public Square; southbound follows LeRay, Massey, Holcomb, and Paddock (the latter of which is a minor residential street with all-way stops). Northbound NY 12 follows Mill and Main; southbound follows Massey and Arsenal. All of these streets are two-way and there's nothing obvious like with NY 24 to explain it.
Parker St. in Springfield, a supposed (and unnecessary) duplex of MA 21 and MA 141.
Southbound/eastbound, there's signage for MA 141 along with MA 21 after turning from Main St in Indian Orchard.
https://goo.gl/maps/bt7sy6sQgQP2
However, going northbound/westbound, it's only signed as MA 21 North.
https://goo.gl/maps/g7me34KFYqQ2
And then you have this: 2 paddle signs approaching the intersection westbound on Boston Rd (US 20). One mentions MA 141, the other does not.

NY 14 does this in Geneva. Northbound uses Seneca St., but southbound uses Castle St. Both are two-way streets.

I forgot about this gem!
Although, the signage is not very consistent (& non-existent in some places); MA 22 in Beverly (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Beverly,+MA/@42.5502618,-70.8781433,17.25z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e3166bea667b97:0xc7b7a37ab06fa14e!8m2!3d42.5584283!4d-70.880049) does this along a portion of Cabot and Dane Sts.
Cabot St. between Church St. & Dane St., though 2-way is only MA 22 Southbound; MA 22 Northbound exits off Cabot St. at Church St. (which is one-way northbound and becomes Essex St. shortly thereafter).
Dane St. between Essex & Cabot St. is MA 62 in both directions but only MA 22 Southbound (which is concurrent w/MA 62 Westbound).
Pretty sure there's at least one city block in Louisville where one side of the street is US 31E and the other is US Federal Route 31-Dub.

This area messed me up on a recent trip to Seattle. I was driving from downtown back to the hotel near Southcenter mall. We took SR-99 south, which I was planning on taking to SR-599 to hit I-5. I thought the entire highway from I-5 to that interchange was "SR-599", but actually it is SR-99 for part of it and SR-599 for another part of it. Since the sign only said "SR-99" (and I was looking for 599), I continued straight onto SR-509.
I actually had no idea I missed my intended turn though, until I hit SR-518 with signs for Sea-Tac and "To I-5". It wasn't until after I got off at that exit that I realized I didn't go the intended way, but SR-518 took me right to where I needed to go, so it was no problem in the end.
I forget, I think there is a town setup the same way, here in Arkansas.
In Birmingham there used to be two examples of this. The first involved AL-5. Southbound traffic was routed along 8th Street West between 8th Avenue West, where it split from US 78 East, to 3rd Avenue West, where it turned and merged with US 11 South, while NB AL-5 continued past 8th Street for another 3/4 mile to turn left (NB) onto Center Street, continuing about 1/2 mile to junction US 78 West. This was because for many years, there was no left turn allowed from 3rd Avenue onto 8th Street; turn lanes were added to 3rd Avenue in the early 70's.
Before the Red Mountain (Elton B. Stephens) Expressway was built, there was a 7-block stretch of 24th Street North in downtown that was signed US 31 South/US 78 East/US 280 East for southbound traffic. For northbound traffic it was signed US 31 North/US 78 West/AL-79 North. As a small kid at the time, it confused the heck out of me!

There's actually still an example there along US 11 and US 78's concurrency in the downtown. Due to the fact that US 78 East and US 11 North continue along 3rd Avenue from the 2-way section to the 1-way section, there's a brief section along 1st Avenue between 9th Street and 13th Street where US 11 South/US 78 West are routed along without the opposing direction for both highways. 9th Street also has the same thing happen to it where US 11 South/US 78 west go to meet-up with their opposing directions at 3rd Avenue.

MD-7 in Elkton, Cecil County has an arrangement like this. Eastbound MD-7 follows Main Street, which is one-way (eastbound) from Bridge Street to South Street. Westbound drivers are not so fortunate. As they approach South Street they see a DO NOT ENTER sign, but there are no trailblazers informing which way to go to follow MD-7. The apparent best path to follow (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.6093322,-75.825829/39.6062186,-75.8339493/@39.6080297,-75.834507,16z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!4m1!3e0) (none of it signed with any mention of MD-7) is a left on South Street; a right on Howard Street; a right on Bridge Street; and finally a left back onto Main Street - all of these appear to be maintained by Elkton.
In Bridgeport, CT 130 uses a one-way pair for about 1.5 miles. Eastbound (State Street) is CT 130; Westbound (Fairfield Ave) is signed as 130 but is officially SR 700. That's not a match for the thread, but it sets up Water Street, which reconnects CT 130 back to SR 700.
Water Street northbound for 2 blocks is CT 130 EB, but Water Street southbound is nothing.
That's all I can think of for CT.

Ever since the Central Freeway was built in the mid-1950s, US 101 has had this - twice - just by the nature of ramp placement.
From 1953 to the 1989 Loma Prieta quake, there was a section of Van Ness Avenue between Golden Gate Avenue and Turk Street which served as US 101 northbound only, as southbound traffic took Turk two blocks west to reach the freeway (while northbound traffic entered Golden Gate Avenue at Franklin Street and then reached Van Ness just a block away).
Since 1989, the routing shifted to the second set of ramps off the freeway, the old Mission Street/South Van Ness Avenue exit; southbound US 101 crosses northbound US 101 at the Mission/Otis/South Van Ness intersection with southbound South Van Ness carrying 101 south for two blocks to the cloverleaf onramp.

Since MD-24 uses ramps to join and disconnect from U.S. 1, there are points where one direction of U.S. 1 also carries MD-24 but the other does not. In this case, coming northbound on Route 24 out of the Bel Air retail corridor, most traffic will take a long ramp to U.S. 1 north, but occasionally people will take a separate northbound MD-24 a short distance to the signal at U.S. 1 to go back south on U.S. 1.

Source? I haven't been there in a very long time, but NJDOT confirms what I thought: CR 516 follows Broad Street in both directions.
See the official county map at http://www.eastcoastroads.com/pdfs/monmouthcrmap.pdf.
Except that doesn't indicate direction.
Here's Little St @ Main St (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4147485,-74.2295703,3a,75y,316.11h,85.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNKiurk8blfcZuNPvqStWKA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1) and here's Little St @ Broad St (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4141595,-74.2283244,3a,75y,101.68h,82.98t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDjvnGzmVC1XbmqihEXQ02A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1). Both streets are signed for both directions!
According to NJDOT, the correct answer is that Broad Street is CR 516, and Main Street is supposed to be CR 516 Spur. The county though chooses to sign both streets without the banner, at least on the overhead blades. (I don't know if there are any reassurance signs in the area; maybe it's an error unique to the overhead blades due to lack of space.)
