52-709: New York State Route 101 ( NY 101 ) is a 3.58-mile (5.76 km) long state highway in northwestern Nassau County, New York , in the United States. It runs north–south as Port Washington Boulevard from NY 25A in Flower Hill , west of Roslyn and east of Manhasset , to Astor Lane in Sands Point . It becomes County Route 101 ( CR 101 ) south along Searingtown Road to Shelter Rock Road ( CR 8 ) and becomes Middle Neck Road (CR D55) north of Astor Lane, continuing north and west to

104-618: A dead end at the Long Island Sound as the unsigned County Route D55 ( CR D55 ). NY 101 was assigned c.  1931 while the county route continuations were assigned in 1959. CR 101 was initially signed; however, signage for the route was removed in 1973. In the 1960s, a proposal was made to construct an expressway , known as the Western Nassau Expressway . This expressway would have extended from NY 27 to NY 101 and utilized

156-846: A decade after the cancellation of the Freeport–Roslyn Expressway , the New York State Department of Public Works proposed a new expressway, known as the Western Nassau Expressway. This expressway would have extended from Sunrise Highway (NY 27) in Valley Stream north to an intersection with Middle Neck Road (then-CR 101) in Sands Point. Part of the route would use modern NY 101 and the right-of-way of an abandoned Long Island Rail Road line. In 1971, several proposed crossings of

208-512: 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

260-485: A former alignment of the current CR 101 alignment. At this point, the highway curves to the northeast and passes through a small area of trees nestled amongst a large, residential area bordering Williston Park . Old Searingtown Road rejoins CR 101 at the northern edge of the forested area. The route continues north, serving as the boundary between Searingtown and Albertson as it proceeds past side streets lined by homes. At I.U. Willets Road , CR 101 serves

312-426: A four-lane, undivided highway, passing homes, businesses, and small patches of trees situated near the junction with NY 25A. At an intersection with Park Avenue North , NY 101 becomes a divided highway with two lanes in each direction. The highway continues north through Flower Hill to St. Francis Hospital , where it curves to the northwest to serve the center of Flower Hill. Here, NY 101 passes east of

364-560: A junction with Main Street. North of this point, the surroundings of NY 101 become more residential as the route narrows to two lanes and passes into the village of Sands Point . NY 101 ends shortly afterward at an intersection with Astor Lane, at which point Port Washington Boulevard is continued by Middle Neck Road and designated as CR 101. North of Astor Lane, the road becomes Middle Neck Road (CR D55) and heads northward, passing local residences and local commercial buildings to

416-530: 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

468-431: A project to improve electricity transmission in the area, PSEG Long Island erected a new power line between Great Neck and Port Washington. The routing follows Port Washington Boulevard through the area, and was controversial due to the height of the poles. In November 2017, the portion of NY 101 between Northern Boulevard and Crabapple Road was dedicated and renamed to Sergeant James J. Regan Memorial Boulevard , after

520-617: 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

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

624-490: 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 –

676-521: 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

728-426: Is eligible for federal aid. Middle Neck Road begins at an intersection with Northern Boulevard (NY 25A) and The Locusts. From this intersection, Middle Neck Road continues towards the north along a mostly straight right-of-way , eventually reaching its southern intersection with Greenway. From its southern intersection with Greenway, the road continues towards the north for a short distance before bending slightly to

780-572: 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. North Hempstead Country Club The North Hempstead Country Club (abbreviated as NHCC ) is a private country club in the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill in Nassau County , on

832-605: 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

884-568: 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

936-406: 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

988-599: The Flower Hill Village Park and west of the North Hempstead Country Club , before curving back to the north and entering Port Washington . In Port Washington, NY 101 passes Nassau Knolls Cemetery and narrows to become a four-lane undivided highway as it enters the center of the hamlet. It proceeds north–south through downtown, passing several blocks of commercial buildings and Paul D. Schreiber Senior High School ahead of

1040-552: The Henry Viscardi School and enters Searingtown. Just inside of the community, CR 101 intersects Hilldale Drive and Dogwood Road, two local streets connecting to Herricks Middle School . The route continues on through Searingtown into the village of North Hills , where the homes give way to trees as it turns to the northeast and passes under the Northern State Parkway . A short distance after

1092-469: The Long Island Sound were studied. One crossing, a bridge connecting Sands Point to New Rochelle in Westchester County , may have become a northward extension of the highway if it was constructed. By 1971, though, hopes had begun to fade on the highway's prospects of becoming reality. Even if construction had begun in that year, the highway would not be open to traffic until 1975. The project

1144-605: The North Shore of Long Island , in New York , United States. The North Hempstead Country Club is located off of Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101) , and features an 18-hole, 70-par golf course designed by A.W. Tillinghast , with many trees and water hazards. The NHCC also features a card room, a pool, tennis courts, and dining facilities. The countrified manor style clubhouse was designed by renowned architect Clifford C. Wendehack . Many homes on Country Club Drive in

1196-626: 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

1248-562: The "road has been engineered for 70-mph and the present speed limit is 30-mph." The state ultimately pledged to restore the landscaping and announced that they would adjust the grade of the intersections if prompted to do so by Flower Hill's officials. In 1959, the Nassau County Department of Public Works created a numbered highway system as part of their "Master Plan" for the county highway system. This plan marked CR 101 along its current alignment. In 1963, roughly

1300-409: The 1920s were renumbered or modified. At the same time, hundreds of state-maintained highways that did not yet have a route number were assigned one. One of these highways was Port Washington Boulevard, a roadway connecting NY 25A (Northern Boulevard) in Flower Hill to Astor Lane in Sands Point , which was designated as NY 101 by the following year. Shortly after being designated as NY 101,

1352-465: The NY ;101 corridor north of NY 25A. The proposal was shelved in the 1970s. CR 101 begins at an intersection with Shelter Rock Road (CR 8) and Herricks Road near Herricks High School . The route heads eastward as Searingtown Road, passing to the south of the high school and to the north of a small pond. One block east of Herricks Road, CR 101 intersects with Old Searingtown Road,

1404-576: 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

1456-475: 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

1508-638: The Northern Parkway overpass, CR 101 meets the Long Island Expressway ( Interstate 495 ) by way of Nassau Boulevard—the southern service road—and North Service Road. North of the Long Island Expressway, CR 101 passes by Christopher Morley Park to the east and residential neighborhoods to the west. Past the park, CR 101 enters an area with more residential development as it begins to run along

1560-607: The Port Washington section of Flower Hill border the North Hempstead Country Club. These homes, built by Walter Uhl in the 1930s and 1940s, were amongst the first homes to be built within the Village of Flower Hill. The North Hempstead Country Club celebrated its centennial in 2016. The North Hempstead Country Club opened in 1916, partially over the former Burtis Farm. The club purchased

1612-644: 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

1664-523: The club. Later that year, Kirkendale filed a $ 1.25 Million (1979 USD) lawsuit against the club. It was one of the first cases in which a white Christian sued a country club for barring and discriminating against Black and Jewish people. He argued that the club discriminated against minorities, and that the NHCC violated his civil rights by expelling him when he voiced his concern regarding said policy. The New York State Supreme Court ultimately sided with

1716-461: The end of sand mining operations in the area, the golf course's original, A.W. Tillinghast design was restored in a subsequent renovation project between 1994 and 1996. On March 20, 1968, a small plane, piloted by Reuven Jerzy and carrying Leonard Caplan as a passenger, suffered an engine failure over Manhasset Bay whilst Jerzy and Caplan were practicing stalls . As a result, Jerzy and Caplan proceeded to make an emergency landing , and they landed

1768-492: The intersecting, residential roads being significantly lower than the improved Port Washington Boulevard. Furthermore, the roadway was also cited by local residents and officials as being engineered to carry traffic at speeds significantly higher than Flower Hill's then-standard, 30-mph (48 km/h) speed limit. These issues prompted Harold S. Shouse, the Mayor of Flower Hill, to cite the road as being "poorly engineered", and that

Regan, a Purple Heart recipient from Manhasset, was killed on active duty in Northern Iraq on February 9, 2007, when the vehicle that he was in was targeted by an IED . Starting in 2019, after several years of complaints from local and state officials, and from residents of communities along

1872-541: 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

1924-420: The more than 150 acre (61 ha) property on September 7, 1918, for an estimated price of $ 150,000 to $ 200,000 (1918 USD ). In 1956, the golf course's design was altered, as some of the easternmost portions of the property were returned to the local sand mining operations that took place nearby at the time. Holes 11-13, 16, and 17 were altered; this reconfiguration was designed by Robert Trent Jones . Following

1976-482: 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

2028-549: The northwest, continuing in that general direction and soon intersecting Woodland Road, thence reaching another intersection with Greenway, and thence with Cherrywood Lane. Middle Neck Road then continues in the same direction, and it soon reaches its northern terminus at Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101). In the early 20th century, the Port Washington Line of the New York & North Shore Traction Company ran along Middle Neck Road. The system's Roslyn Trolley Yard

2080-472: The number of trees that were removed to accommodate the widened roadway, and the fact that the state did not immediately commit to replanting greenery and restoring the landscape. The state also did not immediately compensate the Village of Flower Hill for the property acquired through eminent domain, and the grades of several intersections in Flower Hill being engineered to have unusually steep angles, with

2184-689: The road was widened to 30 feet (9.1 m). In the late 1950s, the New York State Department of Public Works modernized NY 101 in a $ 1,690,000 (1958 USD ) improvement project. This project, which began in early 1957, saw the widening of Port Washington Boulevard – most notably the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) part running through Flower Hill, and was carried out by a private firm contracted by the Department of Public Works. Many people residing in Flower Hill and other surrounding communities were concerned by these improvements, in part due to

2236-545: The route passes to the south of the Sands Point Preserve and north past Sands Point Golf Club as the surroundings around the route become increasingly forested and undeveloped. At Tibbits Lane, the route turns to the northwest and continues to the road's end at a dead end on the southern shore of Long Island Sound. In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York , several of the routes assigned during

Middle Neck Road is a major, 0.53-mile (0.9 km) road in the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill , New York . It connects NY 25A to its south and NY 101 to its north. This portion of Middle Neck Road

2340-640: 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

2392-416: 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

2444-491: The west and the Village Club of Sands Point to the east. North of the club, the highway curves to the northwest and becomes surrounded by several blocks of residential homes to the southwest and patches of trees to the northeast as it heads deeper into the village. From this point west to the highway's end on Long Island Sound , CR D55 follows a mostly east–west alignment through Sands Point. Along this last stretch,

2496-446: The western boundary of Roslyn Estates and the eastern edge of Manhasset . The homes give way to commercial developments as the highway approaches Flower Hill and NY 25A (Northern Boulevard). Searingtown Road becomes Port Washington Boulevard and CR 101 becomes NY 101 upon intersecting NY 25A. Historically, Searingtown Road was known as Searington–Flower Hill Road. NY 101 continues north from NY 25A as

2548-530: 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

2600-461: Was eventually shelved. Since 2005, the traffic counts contained within the annual New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Traffic Data Report have indicated that the northern terminus of NY 101 is at an intersection with Beacon Hill Road. However, other documents produced by NYSDOT, such as their official description of routes in New York, give the highway's northern terminus as Astors [ sic ] Lane. In 2014, as part of

2652-497: Was formerly designated as CR 101A – and later as the southern segment of CR D55, in tandem with the northern, disconnected segment of Middle Neck Road in the Incorporated Village of Sands Point. When numbered as CR 101A, the route was a spur of CR 101 in name only, as it never connected to CR 101. The road is classified as a major collector roadway by the New York State Department of Transportation and
