Exit from 95 to Street Road
Anyone who lives in or around Philly/Trenton knows Street Road. Yes, Street Road. Clearly someone named this street before GPS was around. If you try to enter Street into your GPS, it will return about 10,000 results. But that’s not the only poorly chosen street name. In fact, urban planners often draw up large scale site plans with new roads and use placeholders that no one ever changes. In almost every metropolitan area there is a “New Street” – usually because no one cared to name it and it was on someone’s plan as a new street, so that’s what the sign says.
So here are some other street signs that may get you and your Garmin in trouble while traveling:
 it's been here for years... whats so new about it? |
 just a street... |
 so what do we call it? |
 so which one is it? |
 as opposed to "THE SIDEWALK" |
 the name is ok, but one per town please! |
this would be better if it were a "Place" and not a Drive
