35-806: New York State Route 231 ( NY 231 ) is a 9.05-mile (14.56 km) long state highway located in Suffolk County , on Long Island , in New York , in the United States. The route extends north–south from a partial interchange with NY 27A in the Incorporated Village of Babylon to an interchange with the Northern State Parkway in Dix Hills . The southernmost 2 miles (3.2 km) of NY 231

70-481: A full cloverleaf interchange with NY 27 ( Sunrise Highway ). From NY 27, NY 231 heads northward and northwestward, intersecting with Hunter Avenue in North Babylon, where it becomes a four-lane expressway . The route curves back to the north through the large commercial district, interchanging with CR 34 (Deer Park Avenue). Just north of its interchange with CR 34, NY 231 reaches

105-477: A partial cloverleaf interchange with the Northern State Parkway , where the NY 231 designation terminates. At its northern terminus, Deer Park Avenue forks into two Suffolk County-maintained routes; the western fork continues northwest as CR 35 (Deer Park Road, and later, Park Avenue), and the eastern fork continues northeast as CR 66 (East Deer Park Road). The entirety of Deer Park Avenue and Deer Park Road

140-512: A designated National Highway System , but the system is completely unsigned, aside from the Trans-Canada routes. This makes Canada unique in that national highway designations are generally secondary to subnational routes. In Germany , state roads ( Landesstraßen or Staatsstraßen ) are a road class which is ranking below the federal road network ( Bundesstraßen ). The responsibility for road planning, construction and maintenance

175-570: A four-lane freeway . A short distance north of NY 27A, NY 231 meets ramps from County Route 50 (John Street), but only provides service to the county road from the southbound direction. After John Street, the freeway crosses over the Long Island Rail Road 's Montauk Branch , and thence continues northward through a large residential district. After paralleling Madison Street in North Babylon , NY 231 reaches

210-574: A fourteen-mile stretch from Montauk Highway and NY 25A . The road would be expanded from a two-lane boulevard to a four-lane boulevard, at a cost of about $ 20 million (1962 USD) with a slated completion of 1970. The first section would have its contract let on May 3, 1962, with a cost of $ 2.4 million. This stretch would include the piece between the Southern State Parkway and Lake Avenue in Deer Park . The new piece of

245-501: A full cloverleaf interchange with the Southern State Parkway , still in North Babylon. From its interchange with the Southern State Parkway, NY 231 continues northward as a four-lane boulevard named Deer Park Avenue. The surroundings are mostly commercial, continuing as a four-lane road and intersecting with CR 4 (Commack Road) at a fork. After Commack Road, NY 231 becomes a residential arterial with

280-558: A grassy, divided median and intersecting with CR 57 (Bay Shore Road) in Deer Park . The highway continues northward through Deer Park, crossing through a large commercial strip and underneath the Long Island Rail Road's Ronkonkoma Branch . There is a short interchange with Long Island Avenue in Deer Park, from which point NY 231 continues north and into Dix Hills , where it once again becomes residential near

315-530: A population of at least 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the relevant municipalities. The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the municipality, subject to authorization from ANAS . State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments . Mexico 's State Highway System

350-536: A second feature in The New York Times , the Joint Civic and Taxpayers Association met with elected town and New York State Department of Transportation officials for an action plan to crack-down on the drag-racing , littering and cruising calling it a significant quality of life issue for community residents. The entire route is in Suffolk County . State highway Roads maintained by

385-523: A state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand , the word "state" is used in its sense of a sovereign state or country. By this meaning a state highway is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Australia 's important urban and inter-regional routes not covered by

420-617: A three-digit number designation, preceded by D . Provincial roads ( Turkish : İl yolu ) are secondary roads, maintained by respective local governments with the support of the KGM. The roads have a four-digit numbering grouped as two pairs, pairs are separated by a dash. First pair represents the license number of that province . State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of

455-750: Is 100 km/h, with reductions when one passes through a densely populated area. The highways in New Zealand are all state highways, and the network consists of SH 1 running the length of both main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8 and 60–99 in the South Island. National and provincial highways are numbered approximately north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands. Local highways ( Korean :  지방도 ; Hanja :  地方道 ; RR :  Jibangdo ; MR :  Chipangdo ) are

490-490: Is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state. The main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways –

525-518: Is an expressway known simply and only as Route 231 . This section of the road was originally built to be part of the Babylon–Northport Expressway , a failed highway project that was never completed. The remainder of NY 231 is part of Deer Park Avenue . NY 231 begins at an intersection with NY 27A (Montauk Highway) in the Incorporated Village of Babylon . From there, the route progresses northward around Hawleys Lake as

560-521: Is divided into states and has state highways. For example, the longest highway in the state of São Paulo , the Rodovia Raposo Tavares , is designated as SP-270 and SP-295 . Canada is divided into provinces and territories, each of which maintains its own system of provincial or territorial highways, which form the majority of the country's highway network. There is also the national transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway system, which

595-587: Is free to choose a different marker, and most states have. States may choose a design theme relevant to its state (such as an outline of the state itself) to distinguish state route markers from interstate, county, or municipal route markers.

630-605: Is marked by distinct signs, but has no uniform numeric designation across the country. In the eastern provinces, for instance, an unnumbered (though sometimes with a named route branch) Trans-Canada route marker is co-signed with a numbered provincial sign, with the provincial route often continuing alone outside the Trans-Canada Highway section. However, in the western provinces, the two parallel Trans-Canada routes are consistently numbered with Trans-Canada route markers; as Highways 1 and 16 respectively. Canada also has

665-568: Is not a road class. The Strade Statali , abbreviated SS, is the Italian national network of state highways. The total length for the network is about 25.000 km (15.534 mi). The Italian state highway network are maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946 state highways were maintained by Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The next level of roads below Strada Statali is Strada Regionale ("regional roads"). The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

700-406: Is vested in the federal states of Germany. Most federal states use the term Landesstraße (marked with 'L'), while for historical reasons Saxony and Bavaria use the term Staatsstraße (marked with 'S'). The appearance of the shields differs from state to state. The term Land-es-straße should not be confused with Landstraße , which describes every road outside built-up areas and

735-626: The Strada statale 7 Via Appia , which broadly follows the route of the Roman road of the same name . Other examples are the Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia ( Via Aurelia ) and the Strada statale 4 Via Salaria ( Via Salaria ). Since the reforms following the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the State took charge of the construction and maintenance of a primary network of roads for connections between

770-502: The Babylon–Northport Expressway was originally intended to be a north–south expressway spanning most of the width of Long Island, between NY 27A in the Incorporated Village of Babylon at its southern end and the intersection of Elwood Road , Fort Salonga Road (NY 25A) , and Reservoir Avenue at its northern end, in the Incorporated Village of Northport . Local opposition to the expressway, however, eventually resulted in

805-576: The National Highway or National Route systems are marked under the State Route system. They can be recognised by blue shield markers. They were practically adopted in all states by the end of the 1980s, and in some states, some less important National Routes were downgraded to State Routes. Each state has or had its own numbering scheme, but do not duplicate National Route numbers in the same state, or nearby routes in another state. As with

840-475: The National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite the fact that Victoria has fully adopted alphanumeric routes in regional areas, state route numbers are still used extensively within the city of Melbourne as a part of its Metropolitan Route Numbering Scheme . Brazil is another country that

875-582: The cancellation of the project before anything more than the existing 2 mile stretch could be constructed. Despite this, roughly 40 percent of the properties along the proposed expressway's right-of-way were acquired by New York State for the unbuilt extension – including several properties along Elwood Road, in Elwood and Greenlawn . In 1962, the New York State Department of Public Works announced that Deer Park Avenue would be widened for

The default marker is a white circle containing a black sans serif number (often inscribed in a black square or slightly rounded square), according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). However each state

945-665: The intersection with CR 2 (Straight Path). The arterial road remains residential, continuing northward to an interchange with Interstate 495 (the Long Island Expressway) in Dix Hills . Here, the road widens to five lanes and crosses underneath the interstate, at which point NY 231 once again becomes four lanes. NY 231 then continues northward along the residential strip, intersecting with CR 67 (the Long Island Motor Parkway ). The road then continues northwards, soon reaching

980-541: The main cities; in 1865 the Lanza law introduced the classification of roads between national, provincial and municipal (see Annex F, art.10) and the Royal Decree of 17 November 1865, n. 2633 listed the first 38 national roads. Italian state highways are identified by a number and a name. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SS, an acronym for strada statale ("state road"). The nomenclature of

1015-482: The next important roads under the National highways . The number has two, three, or four digits. Highways with two-digit numbers routes are called State-funded local highways. State roads ( Turkish : Devlet yolu ) are primary roads, mostly under the responsibility of General Directorate of Highways (KGM) except in metropolitan city centers where the responsibility falls into the local government. The roads have

1050-668: The right-of-way would be completed by the middle of 1965, in which a new road would be constructed along the 2-mile (3.2 km) section from the Montauk Highway to the Southern State Parkway. In the 1960s, the portion of CR 35 between the Southern and Northern State Parkways was transferred to the state of New York , which designated the highway as NY 231. Initially, NY 231 followed Deer Park Avenue (now CR 34 ) south to NY 27A in Babylon ; however, it

1085-640: The state highways managed by ANAS generally follows the SS n scheme, where n is a number ranging from 1 ( Aurelia ) up to 700 (of the Royal Palace of Caserta ) depending on the date of establishment of the state highway. Newly built ANAS roads, not yet classified, are identified by the acronym NSA, an acronym for nuova strada ANAS ("new ANAS road"). State highways can be technically defined as main extra-urban roads (type B road) or as secondary extra-urban roads (type C road). State highways that cross towns with

1120-530: The word "state" in this sense means "government" or "public" (as in state housing and state schools ), not a division of a country. New Zealand's state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island . As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a "State Highway" designation. The NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways

1155-426: Was a significant problem even during light rain. To relieve this issue, a system of drainage pipes would be constructed underneath the roadway. In the 1960s, there were plans to upgrade the entirety of NY 231 to a limited-access expressway, leading to much of CR-35 being transferred to the State of New York. However, only a short segment of this route was ever upgraded to freeway standards. As suggested by its name,

1190-493: Was originally designated as part of CR 35 by the County of Suffolk on February 24, 1930. Governor Nelson Rockefeller announced in 1961 funding would be allocated for the reconstruction and widening of Deer Park Avenue. This project would help reduce congestion along the southern section of Deer Park Avenue during commutes and travel on weekends. The project would also help reduce flooding along Deer Park Avenue, which

1225-601: Was realigned c.  1969 to follow the 2-mile (3.2 km), limited-access section of the new Babylon–Northport Expressway. For at least 30 years, Deer Park Avenue served as one of the nation's hottest cruising strips. The New York Times twice called the three-mile (4.8 km) stretch from North Babylon to Deer Park a "Mecca for young people" where crowds of teens and young adults, usually those below legal drinking age, from Long Island and Queens , would line parking lots, hoods up, chatting and showing off their rides.
