Not too far from the Spring Hill Road sign Oscar posted, here's Leesburg Pike:

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

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

This sign (photographed on one of my first trips to Alaska, I don't recall seeing it when I went back there in 2012) was one of many ways the folks in Delta Junction would pound into your brain that the Alaska Highway ends there rather than in Fairbanks.

Rideau River Rd. => Richardson Highway (Delta Junction AK):

Henderson Road → North Valley Drive (Des Moines, IA)



I debated playing this one for a while for two reasons: one, for some reason the city abbreviated North, which is supposed to be part of the name and not a directional prefix (I mean, it's on the south side, in case the SW 59th Street didn't make that obvious), and two, because it ends in Y. Then again, I just realized that by the Y-Rule, one can also play off of Muskogee Avenue.

What matters is that you clarified that "North" is actually part of the name and not a directional.

I'm assuming we're defaulting back to Mt. View Dr. then...

If so, Mt. View Dr. -> Wilkinson Blvd. (Charlotte, NC)

Sorry about that, and then jmd41280 beat me to playing a new W :-D

Anyway, let's do Nome-Teller Road to Round Lake Road (between Barry's Bay and Pembroke, ON)
