How Roads Are Named; The Difference Between An Ave, St, Ln, Dr, Way, Blvd Etc. by braine(m): 2:27pm On Nov 16, 2014 |
Ever wondered how types of roads are determined? There are many acceptable definitions for these, this is just one set, it is highly likely you have seen something different. Different places will have different rules on whats what or no rules at all. There are literally dozens of right answers to this. Almost all of these should really be affixed with "is usually" but because of how long this has gotten, It can't include every exception and variation. 237 Likes 50 Shares |

I appreciate this piece of educative thread. Thanks 43 Likes 3 Shares |
