Do your streets have multiple names?

I live in coral springs, I live between the intersection of coral ridge drive and coral springs drive. Now drive 12-15 mins south/southwest and these same roads are now called Pine Island(coral springs dr) and Nobhill(coral ridge dr)

Theres more then 2 in my town but those are the only two i can think of atm.

sorry if this is a stupid question i was just hanging with a few buddies drinking a few beers and that was our topic of conservation. We were just mesmerized on how/why they do that. And before it is even asked yeah we were high, but i still wanna know.
 
Yup, one main road here has 3 different names depending on which part of town it's cutting through, then named even different next town over.
 
its crazy why cant they just call it by one name, do they think its fun to remember all the street names by each city? is it some fucking game?!

this is madness
 
Yeh, it is annoying as all get out. My city's main drag changes names at certain points, despite being the same road.

Back when I worked at Redstone, the street names would change as soon as one went through the checkpoints on the perimeter of the base.
 
One of the main roads in my hometown got renamed a few years ago. People use both names interchangeably. It can be confusing.
 
Yes. It happens most commonly with state/interstate routes. I realized a few years back that a road that runs through a an area north of me (near Cleveland, OH) is actually the same as the main road that goes through Penn State.

Happens in Orange County CA all the time.

One street near me is Called Moulton. It starts in Dana Point as Golden Lantern, In Mission Viejo it changes to Moulton. When it hits Irvine it changes to Irvine Center Drive. When it hits Tustin it changes to Edinger Ave, In Santa Ana it becomes East Edinger and then West Edinger and then back to Edinger again.

Dont forget the two MacArthur and Main intersections. One in Santa Ana and one about 2 minutes down the other way in Irvine..
 
We have plenty of roads which change names. We have roads where you have to make a 90 degree turn at a 4-way intersection if you want to stay on the "same" road.

We have two roads which intersect 6 times less than 5 miles. One road is continuous, the other starts and stops multiple times.
 
Atlanta and Baton Rouge (two cities in which I've lived) are fairly notorious for having plenty of streets that randomly changes names.

No. I own another house like 2 streets over and the street there has a name..this one does not for some reason. It has a S and a W. Kinda weird.

Reminds me of the SLC area. 100 west 125 North Street.

(or something similar)

IIRC, some roads had both numerical designations and names...that was confusing at first.

hehehe...I live in West Jordan, close enough. 😉
 
I can't think of any that have multiple names at the same location. There are some that change names at certain points though.

However, we do have a lot that have a Name name and a Letter name. e.g. Hwy VV is also called Silver Spring, etc.
 
We have plenty of streets that change names as you travel along them here in Austin. If you're lucky and it's a highway you can refer to it by the highway number to avoid confusion.
 
To get home from downtown I take 3rd Ave S which turns into Central Ave once you get over the river. Then I turn left on 7th St NE which turns into Monroe St after you cross the bridge over the railroad tracks. Yeah, it's hard to tell people how to get to my place!

what road? Detroit or Lorain?
 
We have blocks in my town where the street is one name on one end, and another on the opposite end, I think that is fairly normal around here, and for main (long) strips it you see it a lot.

A couple of blocks from me is a mailbox that has 2 addresses stenciled on it. I asked the woman who lived there why, and she said they did a street name change about 4 years ago but the post office still kept, and refers to both street names, so she is required to keep both addresses. The street sign even says both names. I think there was a business on the street that needed to keep their address or something and they did something to stall the full name change. I still don't understand why she can't just use one or the other address though.
