30-616: The first causeway begins on the mainland when Columbia Boulevard crosses U.S. Route 1 in Titusville and experiences a name change. This is also the terminus of State Road 405 . Continuing eastward, NASA Causeway crosses the Indian River Lagoon . A bascule bridge permitted boats on the Intracoastal Waterway to pass through the causeway, previous to construction of the new high rise span. On June 9, 2023,

60-484: 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 a designated National Highway System , but

90-524: A new eastbound high rise span opened, 125 days ahead of schedule. This span will serve four lane two way traffic until completion of the westbound high rise span, estimated to occur in 2026. Prior to commencement of construction of the westbound span, both existing bascule bridge spans will be torn down. Continuing eastward, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km), it enters the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and

120-530: 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

150-617: 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

180-750: 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

210-633: Is a state highway making a sweeping arc in Titusville, Florida , and, via the nearby NASA Parkway , providing a major access route for the Kennedy Space Center on nearby Merritt Island . The northern terminus of SR 405 is an intersection with North Washington Avenue ( U.S. 1 ) in downtown Titusville; the eastern terminus is at a cloverleaf interchange with U.S. 1 near the American Police Hall of Fame & Museum . It

240-490: 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 –

270-424: 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 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

300-430: Is in Titusville , Brevard County . State highway A state highway , state road , or state route (and the equivalent provincial highway , provincial road , or provincial route ) is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province . A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways ( Canada being a notable exception to this rule) in

330-555: Is locally known as South Street and Columbia Boulevard. South of Cheney Highway ( SR 50 ), SR 405 is signed east–west and is named Columbia Boulevard. North of SR 50, SR 405 is signed north–south and is named South Street. It parallels Interstate 95 for 2.2 miles (3.5 km) - from Cheney Highway to Willis Drive - before veering off to the northeast towards downtown Titusville. In addition, SR 405 passes by Space Coast Regional Airport (formerly Ti-Co (Titusville- Cocoa ) Airport) and Enchanted Forest Park. The entire route

360-568: 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

390-561: 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 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

420-406: 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

450-645: The John F. Kennedy Space Center . About 2 miles (3.2 km) in, the road reaches an intersection with Space Commerce Way. The majority of traffic on NASA Parkway turns here, as the main entrance to the Kennedy Space Center is located down this road. At this point, the Merritt Island peninsula is at its widest and about 7 miles (11 km) wide. East of Space Commerce Way, the Parkway passes

480-626: 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

510-639: The NASA Causeway's eastern end, where the parkway terminates at the Samuel C Philips Parkway . From this point, authorized users can reach the point of Cape Canaveral via Central Control Road. The Cape Canaveral Light is visible, and, via Lighthouse Road, authorized users can reach Launch Complex 46 . While the NASA Parkway is the principal access route for tourists from Titusville and points west (such as Orlando, Florida ), visitors from points to

540-644: The cities of the Central Valley , Route 128 in Massachusetts, or parts of Route 101 in New Hampshire). Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. 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

570-653: The division line between the western and eastern portions of the Parkway. Tour buses reach the Vehicle Assembly Building , the Apollo/Saturn V Center and the Space Shuttle landing strip by journeying north from this point on Kennedy Parkway. The eastern section of the NASA Parkway begins at its intersection with Courtenay Parkway in the former town of Orsino, Florida. Traveling east, it passes an area of support buildings and offices. At

600-495: 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 the National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite

630-586: The end of this area, it reduces from four lanes to two and crosses the Banana River as a two-lane causeway with a bascule bridge . The causeway over the Banana River is less known than the first causeway, as it is not accessible to the general public. The main use of the causeway is for military personnel to reach the mainland, as the route leads from Merritt Island to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station . The NASA Parkway designation ends shortly after

660-508: 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 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

690-566: The former main gate of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex . The general public is not permitted beyond this point. Approximately 0.6 miles (0.97 km) east of the Visitor Complex, a NASA security gate permits access to authorized tour buses and Kennedy Space Center staff and supply vehicles only. Immediately east of the gate, the Parkway contains a diamond interchange with Courtenay Parkway,

720-405: The hierarchy (route numbers are used to aid navigation, and may or may not indicate ownership or maintenance). Roads maintained by 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"

750-541: 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

780-482: 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

810-644: The south, such as Cocoa Beach, Florida need not use NASA Parkway West to cross the Indian River. Instead, they may approach the Kennedy Space Center from the south on Florida State Route 3, which terminates at the Kennedy Space Center property line. Diverted by a security gate, the general public must turn left on Space Commerce Way and reach the Visitor Complex directly from the main gate. 28°31′39″N 80°46′15″W  /  28.5275764°N 80.7709017°W  / 28.5275764; -80.7709017 Florida State Road 405 State Road 405 ( SR 405 )

840-640: 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

870-468: 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

900-530: 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
