Well, I couldn't figure out how to make a shorter title off of this, but the title says it all. These streets cannot be continuations of each other, having to be separate roads. Inspired by the "Doubling Street Names" thread.
A notable example in the Bay Area, Capitol Expwy. and Capitol Avenue in San Jose. They intersect once just east of I-680.
In Gilroy, there's both Camino Arroyo and Arroyo Circle, that "intersect" twice (one is a true intersection, not sure about the second one)
Here in Salinas, there's Market Way that intersects E. Market Street.
I mentioned in another thread Maple Avenue and Maple Lane in Colonial Heights, which are parallel but a good 9-10 blocks apart. Much closer together are Roslyn Avenue and West Roslyn Road, which do not intersect.
Arcadia, MI: Grebe St and Grebe Ct (they intersect)
Manistee, MI: 1st St/Ave through 6th St/Ave (both increase north to south, with the avenues north of the river and the streets south of the river)
Grant Township (Mason County, MI): Old Freesoil Rd and Freesoil Rd, located six miles apart with no obvious connection between the two
Grant Township (Mason County, MI): Forest Trail Rd (FFH 5629) and Forest Trail Rd (now Morton Rd). Two distinct roads used to be marked with the same name, but recent field evidence has one now signed as Morton Rd, despite being marked as Cooper Creek Rd on Google Maps.

Not sure if this example really fits, since historically it was the same street. Market Way was originally the through route, but was bypassed when the undercrossing under the railroad was built.
Milwaukee has some annoying stuff. Parts of 27th St are also called "Layton Blvd"....which gets confusing because there is a "Layton Ave" that intersects with it.
In Brookfield/Waukesha there is also "Moorland Road" and "Moreland Blvd" ...both are pronounced the same way and people never say the road/blvd part. Really confusing at times depending on the context.
I sometimes joke to Springsians that every street in Colorado Springs is named "Cheyenne". (As in Cheyenne Mountain, the hollowed out mountain that was once the home of NORAD). Within close proximity, you have Cheyenne Road, Cheyenne Blvd., Cheyenne Meadows, Cheyenne Mountain, South Cheyenne Canyon, North Cheyenne Canyon (different canyons). All are on the southwest side of the city, west of I-25 and south of U.S. 24. None of these have exits off I-25.
It's something you could consider for Los Angeles I suppose. Pretty much any of the really large streets will have a smaller road with a suffix "Place"
Victory Pl, Vanowen Pl, Wilshire Pl, etc. Or even worse on some (especially Victory Blvd) it goes on to have Victory Circle, Victory Court, Victory Way but all essentially are attached to the same road... not sure if that counts :P
A couple cities didn't plan well, notably there being 2 Allen Aves really close to each other in nearby cities but neither connect.
Another I just thought of is Verdugo Rd, Verdugo Bl and Verdugo Av all in different cities but basically within 5 miles of one another. (which naturally the large one Verdugo Road spawned a Verdugo Place)
Broadway, West Broadway, East Broadway, lower Manhattan, NY.
Very often in NJ streets are named either a) by the town they are heading to (Fredon Road, for example) or b) for the towns at both ends of the road. (Fredon-Springdale Road would be an example, and it does intersect Fredon Road.) So you get a LOT of this occurring, like Burnt Mills Rd. intersecting Burnt Mills (or Mill, possibly) Rd.

Similarly, in Iowa City, IA, there's Dubuque Street and Dubuque Road, but they don't intersect.
St. Johns, MI: Walker Street and Walker Road are parallel about a mile away from each other.
* Kedzie Avenue and Kinzie Street in Chicago. Theoretically, they can cross, but, thankfully, don't.
* Robert Kingery Expressway (I-80/94 & US-6) in the Southland and Robert Kingery Highway (IL-83) in DuPage County.
* Of course, there's Lake Street & Lake Shore Drive, and the latter with South Shore Drive, not to mention Inner and Outer Lake Shore Drive.
* Columbus Drive (in the Loop and Grant Park) and Columbus Avenue (becomes Southwest Highway).
* Franklin Street (Loop) and Franklin Boulevard (Garfield Park/West Side).
There are many that share the same name, but are in different municipalities (i.e. Ridgeland Avenue - one is in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, the other is a major north-south street in the Southland).
And, of course, nobody has yet mentioned all of the 'Peachtree's in Atlanta.

In Orange County, CA, there are the two Chapman Avenues, paralleling each other about 6 miles apart - one in Fullerton/Placentia, the other in Garden Grove/Orange. They both have exits off CA-57, so there is this sign posted:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=33.893963,-117.880832&spn=0.000946,0.001204&gl=us&t=h°=180&z=20&layer=c&cbll=33.893877,-117.880827&panoid=NqsIwUw80drD5ZHanotOaw&cbp=12,187.77,,0,0
The first time I saw that sign I read it as "exit at Chapman, and Fullerton will be 1 mile away, and Orange will be 7 miles away" instead of "there are two Chapman exits, one in Fullerton and one in Orange."

There's the famous Rodeo Drive ("roh-day-oh") in Beverly Hills/West LA, and a few miles south, the less famous Rodeo Road ("roh-dee-oh").
There's also a fair number of Beverlys: Beverly Blvd heading west out of Downtown from 1st Street all the way to Beverly Hills, about four miles east another Beverly Blvd starting in East LA at 3rd Street, and a Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills/West LA that starts about two blocks south of where Beverly Blvd ends.

Imagine all the people not from these parts who pronounce Cañon Dr as Cannon... most the signs don't have a ~ on it.
The corner of Burton and Breton in the city of Grand Rapids, MI trips people up linguistically from time to time.
43rd Av, 43rd Rd, 44th Av, 44th Rd, 44th Dr, 45th Av, 45th Rd, 46th Av, 46th Rd, 47th Av & 47th Rd, Long Island City, NY (http://goo.gl/maps/rgJa).
Middle Island Road and Middle Island Avenue in Medford, New York.
Middle Island Road runs north and south and begins at Horse Block Road(Suffolk CR 16) just east of the intersection with NY 112. It used to begin at NY 112 just south of Horse Block Road before a shopping center was built on the southeast corner. The northern terminus of Middle Island Road is at Granny Road and the southern terminus of David/Elisah Overton Road(Either David or Elisah, depending on what kind of mood the Town of Brookhaven Superintendent of Highways is in).
Middle Island Avenue runs east and west between Old Medford Avenue and used to terminate at Horse Block Road just west of NY 112 until the Lowe's in Medford was built. Today it's a dead end before reaching the former intersection with Horse Block Road. It's still a paper road along the Long Island Power Authority ROW.
Incidentally, there's also a Middle Island Road in nearby Middle Island, that should really be renamed "Old" Middle Island Road, because it's a former section of Rocky Point-Middle Island-Yaphank Road(Suffolk County Road 21).
Durham, North Carolina, has:
Duke Street
Duke University Road
University Drive
Chapel Drive
Chapel Hill Street
Chapel Hill Road
Durham—Chapel Hill Boulevard
Old Chapel Hill Road
(Of the lot, Chapel Drive makes the most sense since Duke Chapel is at one end of the street, which affords a very impressive view of said structure when you exit the West Campus traffic circle onto Chapel Drive. Of the "Chapel Hill"s, Durham—Chapel Hill Boulevard is the only one that goes particularly close to the town of Chapel Hill.)
North of town Roxboro Street turns into Roxboro Road en route to, naturally, Roxboro.
Santa Barbara, CA...
* Castillo Street
* Carrillo Street
* Cabrillo Blvd
I visited a friend of mine who lived in Santa Barbara and that trio of street names is one of the first things he told me as it can get very confusing. Looking at a map, Castillo & Carrillo intersect as well as Castillo & Carbrillo. Can you imagine giving directions that involve all three streets?
My favorite was when US-10 was rerouted a mile north in Minnesota. The old hwy was named "county 10". Nothing like a little confusion there.

On US 30 EB near Williamstown, Ohio the BGSs for the intersection for Township Rd. 68 intermingle with the BGSs for the US 68 interchange. I wonder if anyone mixes up the 68s--hopefully not but one never knows!

I lived in Santa Barbara for seven years, and my staff at my job was constantly was trying to give directions to customers and tourists. Carrillo and Castillo are adjacent exits from US-101, and Cabrillo is about four exits down. Eventually, people would gloss over, as they would hear Carrillo, but see Cabrillo and assume they were hearing us incorrectly.
Here in Shalimar, FL, most of the roads are numbered in a grid pattern, but the only difference is the suffix at the end (e.g. 10th Ave. intersects 10th St., etc.) and also Port Dixie Blvd. is broken up in three different sections which causes major confusion for pizza deliveries and even police calls.
CA-56 westbound has a terrifying next-three-exits sign: Carmel Valley, Carmel Mountain, Carmel Creek. There are at least three more Carmels in the area, but I try not to think about it.
the words Torrey, Mira, Vista, Sorrento, and Mesa are also badly overused in the same general region of San Diego County, and La Jolla insists on naming everything La Jolla X Drive.

In Washington, DC there are N Capitol, E Capitol and S Capitol Streets. They radiate from....
In Salt Lake City, UT there are streets named North Temple, South Temple and West Temple. West Temple St is a north-south street, North Temple St and South Temple St are east-west streets, they all surround the block where the LDS' Salt Lake Temple is located and extend deep into the city. (Note, what would be 'East Temple St' is instead named 'Main St'.)

Another one in Fowlerville, MI: Grand Street and Grand River Avenue intersect in the center of town. (it's possible that Grand River Ave intersects other Grand Avenues elsewhere in Michigan, but this is the only example I can think of off the top of my head)

In San Francisco, they are constructing the new "Presidio Parkway" (US101), which intersects with "Park-Presidio Blvd." (CA 1). In practice, most people will probably just use the numbers.
Sun Valley, CA has Arcola, Sancola and Ferncola.
And actually pretty much any of the main streets in LA are repeated a lot in other cities surrounding the actual city but don't connect, going off the Beverly name. Highland, Western, Alameda, Wilson, Laurel
If you spend any time in the Phoenix metropolitan area (which sprawls like Los Angeles), you have to watch your numbered streets and avenues. Central Avenue runs north and south from downtown Phoenix. West of Central Avenue, the paralleling numbered streets are avenues (1st Ave, 2nd Ave and so forth). East of Central, you have 1st Street, 2nd Street and so on. It's one thing to look for a business on 3rd Avenue when it's on 3rd Street, but another to look for something on say, 75th Avenue and it's on 75th Street. You're about twenty miles from where you need to be at that point!
And some of the Phoenix suburbs have numbered streets of their own, such as Tempe, Scottsdale and Mesa.
In Carlisle, PA; adjacent to the Fairgrounds:
Calvary St. ends on Calvary Rd. (the latter ends on US 11)

There's a Culver Dr and Culver Bl exit on the 405 in Irvine and Culver City respectively. I know both exits are 46 miles from each other but, I'm sure someone has been confused by it.

Brings up a similar occurrence on I-35 in the Oklahoma City metro... Oklahoma City's S.E. 15th Street has an interchange at Exit 125 (ish...for hysterical raisins NB is Exit 125B but SB is 125D), then there's one further north for Edmond's S.E. 15th Street at Exit 140. A difference of only 15 miles. It was enough to confuse me as a little kid. I threw a fit because my parents went on past Exit 140 once. (125B/125D/125Æ/whatever was our exit at the time.)
There are a couple of Mountain Avenue exits off the 210.
Fort Scott has three Huntington Boulevards. I once saw an old map where it appeared that it was supposed to be a street that surrounded the fairgrounds on all sides. Instead, there's a north-south Huntington on the west side of the fairgrounds that's four blocks long, an east-west one one block long between U.S. 69 and the National Ave. extension (more on that in a moment), and another east-west one a half-block long off of Margrave. The north-south stretch and the first east-west stretch are within four blocks.
And then there's the three National Avenues. There's the one that was Old U.S. 69 (with a section of U.S. 54 on it) which goes from the north end of town, then angles toward and joins the 69 bypass in front of the car dealer, an extension off the curve before 69 which goes south about 2 1/2 blocks, and East National (to distinguish it from the others) which begins at the original National and goes to National Cemetery No. 1. At one point, I believe that the north-south National curved to become East National but over time the sections south of that curve were added on. I'm certain that this causes confusion along one stretch because this means there are two 1800 blocks of South National.
I know I've mentioned this in another thread:
The intersection of Sand Run Road and Sand Run Parkway in Akron, OH.

World Center Drive in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Matter of fact both intersect, but one really is a phony as I believe it was chosen by Marriot for the entrance drive into the World Center Marriot spite the fact Orange County designated FL 536 and the connector to FL 417 as it as well.
Then again, many first response agencies have had zoning people give non existing street names to properties with multiple buildings on them to help emergency personel find a specific location easier. Example, the Westgate Lakes Resort in Orlando is on Turkey Lake Road. Yet each timeshare dwelling uses street names that do not exist with address numbers referring to these like Orange Gate Drive and Westgate Lakes Boulevard. On paper they are legal, but in reality they do not exist.
Just north of Friendship, WI and south of Roche A Cri State Park off of WI-13. There is a Czech Ave, Czech Dr, Czech Ct, S Czech Ct, Czech Ln Ct, Czech Ln, and S Czech Ln. And they all don't intersect with each other. The same area also has a lot of the same for Cypress.

Very often in NJ streets are named either a) by the town they are heading to (Fredon Road, for example) or b) for the towns at both ends of the road. (Fredon-Springdale Road would be an example, and it does intersect Fredon Road.) So you get a LOT of this occurring, like Burnt Mills Rd. intersecting Burnt Mills (or Mill, possibly) Rd.
This didn't bother me too much when I lived in Jersey, but it took some time to get used to it when I moved to PA. Here in Bucks County we have a Bristol Rd, an Oxford Valley Rd, and a Bristol-Oxford Valley Rd.
Then there's discontinuous roads... like Byberry Rd, which ends just south of Parx's back entrance and picks back up on another alignment south of the US1/PA-63 Interchange. Buck Road also has multiple discontinuous alignments as well. I noticed this sort of thing a lot when my parents moved to Phoenix. You can't always guarantee that just because you know a road exists in Glendale and it exists in Scottsdale, that you can take that road all the way across the valley. Though in fairness to Phoenix, at least their road names tend to stick to the same horizontal or vertical alignment, so if they ever wanted to complete the road, they could.
To add to the comment about Phoenix and the Ave/St stuff, you also run into smaller, probably privately built, extensions of their grid numbers where the developer decided to name it with Place, Drive, Way, whatever. Even roads that are on (or start on) the same alignment as an existing numbered St or Ave.
Southbridge Street and Southbridge Road in Worcester, MA.
Best part is that these two streets leave US 20 at the same intersection.

Shunpike Road in Summit, NJ and Shunpike Road in Springfield, NJ are real close to each other.
Raritan Road between Clark, NJ and Roselle, NJ is in close proximity to the Raritan Road in Scotch Plains, NJ. They once were connected via Westfield Avenue, Old Raritan Road, and Lamberts Mill Road many years ago.
Featherbead Lane in Clark, NJ and Edison, NJ are two miles apart, but years ago they once were connected via Raritan Road and Oak Ridge Road. The part of Raritan Road in Clark that originally was not Raritan Road (south of Westfield Avenue) was part of it.
In Omaha, there is Gibson Road and Bob Gibson Drive and both intersect south 13th Street. Gibson Road goes over the railroad tracks to an industrial area next to the Missouri River, while Bob Gibson Drive goes along the north side of what used to be Rosenblatt Stadium, naturally enough (Bob Gibson was the big baseball star from Omaha).
One really annoying feature of the Omaha numbering system is that you can have Xth Street, and then one block west of that have Xth Avenue. More than one time, I have had people tell me they live on "60th" or some such street and it turned out it was really the Avenue and not the Street.
In Montrose CA theres Rosemont Av & Montrose Av that cross (cant find if i mentioned that already) and in Pico Rivera, which i just discovered tonight, there's Beverly Rd just south of Beverly Blvd, both have lights which made it slightly confusing for a second and the Road version goes pretty far too.
Also in Pico Rivera Olympic Blvd reappears a couple times for some reason after the main part of it farts out at Montebello Blvd, Pioneer Blvd also does the same, it keeps popping up. I only think its weird because Boulevards dont usually do that here.
Los Angeles has two San Vicente Blvds, both major streets and miles from each other.
Wichita has Minneapolis and Minnesota streets close to each other. One time, one of our cable guys hooked up the right house number on the wrong street. The lady let him in, hook it all up, and everything. Then we got an email wondering why his customer hadn't been hooked up yet. Oops. So he had to go back, disconnect everything at the wrong house, and do the installation over again.
In Baton Rouge, North Blvd. and North St. run parallel to each other 5 blocks apart.
In downtown Tulsa, there is a Kenosha Avenue that parallels the N-S portion of I-444/US 75. In Broken Arrow, 71st Street is called Kenosha (I don't know why BA doesn't just use the Tulsa names, because east of BA the Tulsa names are used.) They are probably 20 miles apart but are still a source of confusion.
Also, many parts of Tulsa will have, say, a Lewis Avenue, a Lewis Place, a Lewis Court, etc. all in the same area. Sometimes these roads will intersect. Tulsa is generally easy to get around in, but this is confusing. Another point of confusion is that the east-west streets are numbered, while the north-south streets are named west of Sheridan Road, but they're numbered east of Sheridan. There is potential for confusion there.

This is a little different, but Texas Loop 323 in Tyler ends at itself. It begins at US 271 as a 2 lane spur to the loop route, intersects itself at its other terminus, then loops around town. There is an intersection where you can go 3 different ways and still be on Loop 323.

Here in Jacksonville Florida we have Interstate 10 and Florida SR 10. Although SR10 is the secret number for US90 in most of the state and it runs parallel to I-10, east of Jacksonville US 90 takes Beach Blvd (SR 212) and SR 10 is routed on Atlantic Blvd> Atlantic Blvd is signed as SR 10 but I know many people have no idea of it being SR10. The 295 Beltway has an exit for I-10 west of the city and SR 10 east of the city. I have talked to people who assume the SR10 is a sort of SR extension of Interstate 10 (like PA 283 or NY 481)

Just had to give directions to the train station to my out of town aunt. Turns out Oakview and Oakland in Maplewood, NJ are two streets away and parallel. In fact, Oakview begins at Oakland, and then they run parallel. Both come to traffic lights at Valley Rd. and end at Dunnell St. to give access to the train station.

I would imagine many loops have this, but offhand all I can think of are some examples in Phoenix involving Loop 101 and Loop 202.
I'm not even sure if any are technically correct, as - for example - Loop 202 hits W. McKellips Road and E. McKellips road, which are the same street but with a name change.
CA 210 intersects Base Line (or Baseline, depending on what city you're in) Road twice, about 25 miles apart.

Phoenix popped into my head, too. Loop 101 has interchanges for Bell Road on both sides of the valley, for example. Technically, though, that's not two streets with similar names but two halves of the same road (or at least on the same alignment, as is the case with Thunderbird and Cactus Roads).

That actually brings up two roads with similar names... 210 is the Foothill Freeway, and it has an interchange with Foothill Blvd.
On the Monterey Peninsula, there's a Del Monte Blvd and a Del Monte Ave. The "Blvd" is in Marina while the "Ave" in in Seaside/Monterey. I guess this is because Highway 1 used to go along the Del Montes before the freeway was built.

In Arlington County, Virginia, we have Va. 120, Glebe Road, which runs N-S - the southern end is at U.S. 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway), the north end is Va. 123 (Chain Bridge Road), just before the bridge over the Potomac River of that same name. Unlike most other Virginia counties, VDOT
only maintains the main streets and roads, including Va. 123. The "secondary" streets in Arlington County have names but do not carry VDOT route numbers.
As is the case with most streets in this county, everything north of U.S. 50 (Arlington Boulevard) gets a prefix of
North, and south of 50 gets a prefix of
South. Yes, U.S. 50 approximately cuts the county in half.
Here's where things get interesting. Va. 120 (
South Glebe Road), between U.S. 1 and I-395, runs almost parallel to the border between Arlington County and the (independent) City of Alexandria - this segment of Va. 120, even though it is posted N-S, runs almost east-west. And Va. 120 intersects with
another Glebe Road, that being
West Glebe Road, which comes across the border (and across Four Mile Run) from Alexandria into Arlington County. Alexandria's Glebe Road is divided between
East and
West by Commonwealth Avenue.
So it is possible to drive southbound on
South Glebe Road, and turn right on
West Glebe Road, which runs south into Alexandria and then quickly turns to the east. So we have a Glebe Road in Arlington County, which is roughly paralleled by a Glebe Road in the City of Alexandria.
At Valley Forge, PA, there's an east-west Valley Forge Road (PA 23), and a north-south one (that crosses the Turnpike) that almost meets the E-W one at a T, but doesn't.
EDIT: The N-S one is PA 252.
Quote from: Occidental Tourist on July 13, 2012, 08:45:57 PMThe Foothill Freeway has three Foothill Blvd. interchanges: Exits 8 (in Pacoima), 21 (La Canada-Flintridge), and 47 (La Verne).
And if you want to get technical, Huntington Drive in Monrovia (exit 33) and 5th Street in Highland (exit 83) are both along the same route as Foothill Blvd.

My favorite was when US-10 was rerouted a mile north in Minnesota. The old hwy was named "county 10". Nothing like a little confusion there.
I have to show you a pic of "Old CR 54" at Florida State Road 54 in Silver Springs, Florida sometime.

US 6 and 6th Avenue overlap west of I-25 to form the 6th Ave Freeway. Granted, they follow the same route west of I-25.
In the Vancouver, BC ,there is a Granville Street (BC 99). Just south of Vancouver in Richmond, there is a Granville Avenue.
