A shorter example, but noteworthy: Margaret / Otto.

I am reminded of this nice little dashcam video. One street, eight names.

Quote:Have you driven the street with eight names? It meanders through two cities and three jurisdictions. It's a Kitchener street. It's a Waterloo street. It's a regional road.
Tom Motz filmed it from end to end, from Idle Creek Drive in southeast Kitchener to Caroline Street South in downtown Waterloo.

It's also an Oxford County road if you come from the other direction - our Erb Street starts north of Stratford.

For those of you interested, here's the map: https://goo.gl/maps/DHPwO
Maybe we should make this a gallery of weird anomalies in the Region. Here's the eight names route: https://goo.gl/maps/xuMMf (I'd have extended it to the Sun Life building terminus of Caroline, but Google _really_ doesn't want to route anyone over the closed stretch of Caroline)

In Google Mapmaker you can edit it to indicate that a road is closed for lengthy construction. Google then removes the road as a navigable feature.
