Connecticut Ave between DC and MD.
Rhode Island Ave. also between DC and MD.
Pennsylvania Ave. is a third to cross that boundary.
Wisconsin Ave. following the old US 240 across the line.
Massachusetts Ave.
New Hampshire Ave.
Bladensburg Road.

DC has plenty leaving the district.

Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

(I suppose you could count the George Washington Memorial Parkway as a local road.)

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

A historical example that almost qualifies: Market Street in Philadelphia aligns with Market Street in Camden, and prior to the construction of the Ben Franklin Bridge, ferries linked the two.

Morrisville/Trenton and New Hope/Lambertville each share a "Bridge Street"  on either side of their Delaware River crossings.

Kirklin Road in MS and LA.
Just a reminder that US 6, 49, 50, and 98 are superior to your fave routes :)

At least twice for this information.

Has anyone mentioned all the roads heading north out of Toledo yet?

:bigass:

Have a great day!
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

One I am surprised has not been mentioned is Sheridan Rd (WIS 32/IL 137) between Zion and Kenosha.
There is also Bristol Rd for US 45 between Bristol and Lindenhurst.
