Nexus of the Universe; streets of the same name that intersect

[Max Rockatansky]

I came across a signage oddity recently in the city of Fresno where there was two streets by the name of Butler which intersect.

Any other examples like this one where two streets of the same name intersect?  The primary street is Bulter Avenue which is a major east/west street.  The secondary street is probably called Butler Lane but Fresno County tends to emit the full name of streets (such as; Ave, Rd, Blvd) from its street signage.

I felt this video was obligatory to post given the theme of the thread:

Based on the "Seinfeld" clip, I can think of some numbered streets in Tucson that meet up. 1st St/ 1st Ave, 2nd St/2nd Ave, etc.

Bellevue Avenue, Bellevue Place, Bellevue Court...but not in Bellevue, Washington (actually in Seattle's Capitol Hill).

A common practice in residential areas in the Salt Lake area is to give short cul-de-sac the same name as the road it comes off of, but with "circle" .

Here's one example in Salt Lake City. The main road is Alta Street, and Alta Circle is a short cul-de-sac that comes off of it. Just a short distance to the east, the same thing happens with Federal Heights Dr and Federal Heights Circle.

Also, several of the many Peachtrees in Atlanta intersect.

Based on the "Seinfeld" clip, I can think of some numbered streets in Tucson that meet up. 1st St/ 1st Ave, 2nd St/2nd Ave, etc.

If we're including numbers, then the grid systems used in many Utah cities result in a crap ton of streets with the same number intersecting (for example, 300 West and 300 South intersect at one corner of Pioneer Park in SLC, and 400 West and 400 South intersect at the opposite corner).

In my town, we have a few instances.  There is a Flanders St and a Flanders Rd that intersect.  The street runs east-west, and connects to a main thoroughfare.  The road is a popular back road that runs parallel to the main thoroughfare but is much more rural.  Another is Berlin St and Berlin Ave. Berlin Ave leads to the center of town, while Berlin St is a state road leading toward the town of Berlin.  There's Center St, and its two small side streets Center Place and Center Court.  Center Place turns a corner and becomes Liberty Place, which intersects (North) Liberty St.  Then there's Academy St that turns a corner and becomes Academy Lane.  Not too far from there is Vermont Ave, which turns a corner and becomes Vermont Terrace.  And off of Vermont Ave is a short dead end called Vermont Place.

Not sure this counts: In Fairfax, there's an intersection where Colesbury Place intersects Colesbury Place. It's the same street–it loops around and comes back to meet itself–and that's why I'm not sure it counts, but when I was a kid and I walked past there every day on the way to school I always thought the two street signs with the same name looked strange.

Not too far away, Prince Caspian Court branches off Prince Caspian Lane.

Calgary AB - with Signal Hill circle, heights, drive, view, lane and view in the same spot. I wouldn't want to be a delivery driver over there..

Corner of West Peachtree st. NW and Peachtree st. NE deserves a mention. Atlanta, of course. Peachtree st. NW and  Peachtree Cir. NE are in the same block.

Corner of West Peachtree st. NW and Peachtree st. NE deserves a mention.

Which one?  They intersect in two places (very nearly three, if you don't count the 40 feet of Beverly Rd separating them).

Someone told me they were at a corner of Peach Street and Peachtree Street somewhere in Atlanta area. I couldn't find that one...

South Glebe Road and West Glebe Road intersect in Arlandria, VA....lets call them Glebe Road I and Glebe Road II because they're in fact distinct roads.

Glebe Road I runs in Arlington between Potomac Yard and Chain Bridge, where Arlington Blvd. is the divider between North and South (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/38.8428116,-77.0504956/38.9290322,-77.1179032/@38.8857375,-77.1420082,12z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-77.0916063!2d38.8595552!3s0x89b7b6afd0a05037:0x450aa12f32df595d!1m0!3e0)

Glebe Road II within Alexandria between Arlandria and Potomac Yard, where Commonwealth Ave is the divider between East and West (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/38.8438677,-77.0773206/38.8326375,-77.0479119/@38.8390432,-77.0731252,14z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0).

New Lenox, IL really makes me want to bang my head against the wall, because they have both an east-west road and a north-south road named Spencer Road.  They have tried in recent years to rename the east-west iteration as "Illinois Highway," which is dumb because the road is in no way a highway.  There's a set of street blades still standing today, which labels both roads as "Spencer."  Interesting also, that google labels the east west road exclusively as "Illinois Highway" when the new name hasn't entirely caught on, especially in areas to the west.

Nieman Rd. in Lenexa, KS, splits into two streets of the same name in this business park, with a storm drainage system in between them.

52nd. Circle in Shawnee, KS, goes NE from 53rd St. to form a loop where the street curves back to the south to becomes Stearns. At the apex there is a cul-de-sac that is also named Stearns. The loop then becomes 52nd Terr. and turns west, meeting back up with 52nd Circle.

A common practice in residential areas in the Salt Lake area is to give short cul-de-sac the same name as the road it comes off of, but with "circle" .

That's pretty common in the KC suburbs (at least in KS), except they give the cul-de-sac the same suffix too. Here are a few examples:

Lamar Ave. and Lamar Ave.
Nall Ave. and Nall Ave. (x2)
80th St. and 80th St.

Sometimes, when the roads in a subdivision weave a lot, you need to make a turn to stay on the street with the same name, such as Westgate St. in Lenexa.

Someone decided that all previously unsigned roads in this business park are called "Atrium Way". I don't know how official that is.

More traditionally in that general area,

Commerce Rd changes to W Commerce Rd at the intersection of S Commerce Rd.  And then 1/2 mile to the west, on W Commerce Rd, we find N Commerce Rd.

In Swainsboro, GA Main Street meets Main Street at the junction of US 1 Business and US 80.  To not confuse the post office all of Main north of US 80 is North Main Street, and south of the east-west route is known as South Main Stret.  Then US 80 west of US 1 Business is West Main and east of US 1 is East Main.

Elizabeth, NJ has East Broad  Street intersect both Broad and North Broad Streets.

I'm seeing on Street View a north-south 47th Street that runs into an east-west 47th Street on the border of KC, Overland Park, and Merriam (also a county line).  The N/S 47th becomes Antioch south of the junction.  It appears to be an odd quirk of the differing address systems used in that area.

How about streets that intersect themselves:

I forgot about that one. Wyandotte County (KCK) has its numbered streets run north-south, while the rest of the metro goes east-west. The small part of KCK south of I-35 and east of Mission Rd. has "nth Ave." roads that run E-W to line up with the streets in KCMO.

On somewhat similar side - NYC has an intersection  of 1st st. and ave; and 2nd st. and ave.
Grid is not defined well enough,  and there are no higher same-number intersections as far as I can tell.
