#301
Ellenwood Drive → Deer Ridge Drive (Des Moines, IA) (it's not much of a drive, because it's only a stub of a street for an unfinished subdivision)

Deer Ridge Drive ---> Eisenhower Avenue (Alexandria, Virginia, with a seriously ugly I-95 shield that was the original reason why I took this photo).

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

FWIW, the same Nutley St. was already played by me, though in a different place and with a different photo (which included a non-___y name as an out). I'm unsure whether the OP would think this consistent with Rule 12.

This differs from a recently-played Elm St. in Des Moines, some time after I played a South Elm St. in Arlington.

I figured it was okay so long as they were different cities, although I didn't even realize an "Elm Street" had already been played when I used mine (FWIW, Arlington was S Elm St whereas mine is E Elm St, although Des Moines doesn't include the E on east-side street signs very often). jbnv should probably clarify what the rules are on using the same names from different places.

jbnv

Streets with the same name in different cities are allowed. But Nutley St. in Vienna, VA was already played. The last valid street is Dickman.

W South Street → Holcomb Circle/Avenue (Des Moines, IA)



(I need to make a list of all the names I've played already... it's getting more and more difficult to know which names out of my collection of about 3,000 Des Moines street sign pictures I've already used.)

Schlapp Rd. => Piilani Highway (Kaupo HI) -- the sign is outdated on the route number change, but is right about the name change:

Piilani Highway to Innisfil Beach Road (on the 400 south of Barrie, ON)
