US 422

And I think you're supposed to reveal the forum region right away.
You may want to specify the rules for region reveals in the OP, because it is not clear.
The only thing it mentions in the OP is that the regular guessing game rules apply, which would lead me to believe that the region reveal should come after 24 hours.

US-422 is incorrect.

5 posts down, the OP agrees that we should reveal it at the beginning though.
Then the OP should be updated to indicate such.

OH-11?
Incorrect.

Region is Northeast.

Noted for next time.

In CoreySamson's defense, I do often regard Ohio east of Cleveland/I-77 as being where the Northeast begins...

Also in CoreySamson's defense, that was the region reveal; the region wasn't posted before. Maybe I should have made that more obvious...

Region: Northeast and Midwest-Great Lakes (strictly following AARoads designations)
Incorrect guesses: US-422, OH-11
Clue: A nearby neighborhood sounds like it would be rather Venetian, but it is quite the opposite.

NY 400? I'm not sure about the neighborhood clue, but I'll see if I can figure that part out.  :)

Not NY-400, but you might be kicking yourself if you don't figure the clue out  :hmmm:

LaSalle Expressway?

That's got to be it. Not sure if you figured that out based on the clue, which is probably Love Canal (and yes, I am now kicking myself for not getting it!  :-D)

Actually, the clue had absolutely no impact on my guess. The main thing I was looking for was that frontage road and the bend in the road. I thought it was Pennsylvania, but once webny99 guessed NY, I figured it had to be somewhere there. Once I figured that out, I found the spot within a couple of minutes. I'll have something up later today!

Never one to overthink things (LOL), I figured it was WNY based on the Midwest/Great Lakes clue, but I was stuck on the Buffalo area for some reason and forgot about the possibilities around Niagara Falls (except for the Robert Moses/Niagara Scenic Parkway, which I knew it wasn't).

Curious about the NY 104 part of the freeway webny99

Why is there a two lane part of it, but the other looks abandoned?  :confused:

RM/NSP used to be a continuous 4 lane divided parkway from I-190/LaSalle all the way to NY-18 near 4 Mile Creek. At some point, both directions through Niagara Falls State Park were removed and the section between the Park and John Daly Blvd was converted to WB only. Later on, the NB carriageway from Niagara Falls to Lewiston was converted to 2 way traffic. More recently, the interchange at John Daly Blvd was converted to a roundabout and the one way road west of there was converted into the one way Riverway. Most recently, the entirety of the 2 lane parkway was removed south of Whirlpool St/Findlay Dr.

Thanks for the reply. Yes to all of this. (Also, I wouldn't consider that portion a "freeway", so I didn't think of it as a possible location for this challenge.)

Yep, got it instantly. Did anything tip you off that this was it?
https://goo.gl/maps/bncE1mL8kBFtg9Jt7
It looked Houston-like and FBP was the first road in the area I saw that was 4 lanes with a Jersey barrier. Pure luck I guess.

Next up in the Northeast:

The truck on the other ramp was what confirmed it for me. If not for that, I could have seen it being a ramp joining up with the mainline. Compare to this, for example.
