I agree that there is a major mess in the road naming conventions and/or their layout.Originally posted by Jim Yingst:
I considered giving that as a general rule, but there are so many exceptions. 1st Ave N being one example (along with a number of north-south streets east of there), while most of the S streets also seem to do the opposite of what that rule would imply. 4th Ave S, S Spokane St, etc. What a mess.[/QB]

There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

If you ask Google Maps to show you Cincinnati, you'll see I-275 that circles the city. I remember driving that road several years ago but I can't remember where it switches from N-S to E-W. Or if it even does; it's possible that since it's an odd-numbered interstate, it's defined to be N-S. Its Wikipedia article doesn't answer this question.Originally posted by Jim Yingst:

Heh - try the Hume Hwy & Hume Fwy in Australia (whether it is a highway or a freeway depends on where you are on it). But going through Albury/Woodonga, you can see it coming in from the center left of the map, makes a left to head north, makes a right, makes a left, makes a right, makes a left then veers right. All while still being the Hume Highway (once you got off the freeway at the very first turn).Originally posted by Fred Rosenberger:
man, you guys live in some crazy towns. I'll stick with getting on Lindbergh heading west, then around the time it's goes north it becomes Kirkwood road, then back to being Lindbergh, eventually taking you east, all the while being known as 67.
