General Road and Highway Discussion

[ijmorlan]

* - I always have to use Google Maps to get road names for anything we discuss here, because I'm still so baffled by what's what in the Region. Imagine my surprise that King St. in this short section is "King St. W" between Fountain and Riverside Park... then changed to King St. E. Why?!?!?!

Could it be “King St. W, Cambridge” and “King St. E, Kitchener”?

If so, that extends the weirdness of King St., which is in order N, S, W, E to actually be N, S, W, E, W, E. Actually the part north of the City of Waterloo is probably just “King St.” so presumably there is another change there.

Really it would be better if it switched between N and S at the K-W border, but a renumbering of every address on the street would be needed, and it would make Kitchener even weirder, with N-S roads crossing over King S. at a right-angle intersection, and E-W roads running parallel to it.
