85-806: 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

170-481: 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

255-477: 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

340-403: A center turn lane. The portion of the road between the outlet center and the traffic circle at CR 73 has been the site of the most active retail development, spread over several decades. As such, the road's width and treatment vary because the task of widening largely fell to each individual developer of the new strip malls. Of course, the area is now very congested, particularly because

425-512: 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

510-550: A former segment of Montauk Highway itself. A U-turn ramp exists for north to westbound traffic. The road then passes by some town of Southampton parkland, and then an 11-foot-7-inch (3.53 m) bridge beneath the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road . Further north, a local street named Gate Street leads to the only street that runs closer to the canal than Newtown Road does. Like CR 39B on

595-498: 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

680-574: 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

765-501: 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

850-558: 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

935-530: 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 .

County Route 52 is a short two-lane road called Sandy Hollow Road and is a divided highway with at least one turning ramp only at both ends. The road serves as a connecting route between NY 27 / CR 39 and CR 38 . The entire route

1275-577: A sharp southeasterly direction, does it encounter Carl’s Path and CR 4 (Commack Road). The intersection of Weeks Road is where the road crosses the Babylon–Islip Town Line, the southeastern angle of the road levels off, and was where the Babylon–Northport Expressway was intended to cross over, with a possible interchange. CR 82 's northern terminus is at CR 57, however Udall's Road continues north of this terminus as

1360-547: A slight shift to the right for all traffic on Middle Road. After this fiasco, the road passes Bergen Avenue and makes a slight curve to the northeast, only to curve east again and cross the Corey's Creek Bridge, where one can find sites such as the Blue Point Marina, Corey's Creek Park, and a local roadside luncheonette. Middle Road ends at Atlantic Avenue and CR 65 turns north onto Atlantic Avenue, until it reaches

1445-523: 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

1530-617: 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

1615-404: A town of Islip Street. Howell's Road is cut off by the interchange with the Southern State Parkway and Robert Moses Causeway . Originally it crossed Bay Shore Road, then moved along the south side and intersected with Bay Shore Road again along with Muncey Road. At the intersection of Muncey Road, CR 57 moves from Bay Shore Road to Howell's Road. From there it becomes the northern border of

1700-609: A traffic circle at NY 114 and Tyndall Road, although NY 114 continues in the same direction as Short Beach Road until it curves to the north and reaches the South Ferry Port to Shelter Island . County Route 61 is unsigned Waverly Avenue, a mainly two-lane road that runs north and south along the Islip–Brookhaven town line until the town line makes a sharp left along the Greenport Branch of

1785-552: A two-lane bi-directional frontage road for Sunrise Highway, but this section is a Town of Brookhaven maintained road. It skirts along the south end of the runway for Brookhaven Airport west of Winters Drive, and goes as far east as Barnes Road in Moriches . County Route 57 runs mostly east and west from NY 231 in Deer Park to NY 27A in downtown Bay Shore. It includes Bay Shore Road, Howell's Road, and Third Avenue. No sooner does CR 57 start at NY 231 in

1870-467: A two-lane undivided highway which runs on a peninsula, with a parallel park access road on the north side and a bicycle lane on the south side. The western interchange indicates a potential proposal to widen the road to a possible four-lane divided highway that was never built. The peninsula ends in North Haven , where Noyack–Long Beach Road becomes Short Beach Road at Third Street. CR 60 ends at

1955-620: Is CR 55 , which served as part of NY 27 until Sunrise Highway was extended east of the interchange. CR 51 became the northern terminus of CR 55 in the 1980s. The road continues northeast through the hills of the Long Island Pine Barrens . Soon thereafter, CR 51 reaches the intersection of Speonk–Riverhead Road (former CR 88), which leads to the Suffolk County Community College eastern campus. Northeast of that point,

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

2125-706: Is Foster Avenue, which is the only two-way access to Montauk Highway. From here Middle Road passes by St. Anne's Episcopal Church , which was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places , and contains the St. Anne's Cemetery in the back. The road then runs through the Sans Soucci Lakes County Park , with a driveway to the NRHP-listed John Ellis Roosevelt Estate on the north side. East of

2210-545: Is a bi-directional frontage road along NY 27 known as Victory Avenue. It stretches from CR 16 between Sunrise Highway and CR 21 and ends at William Floyd Parkway , however Victory Avenue extends east of the CR ;56 designation. At one time, it also included Horseblock Road east of Waverly Avenue in Farmingville . CR 56 provides the entrance to Southaven County Park along Carmans River , and

2295-402: Is a former portion of CR 51, and the CR 63 designation was given to this section when CR 51 was shifted to the newly built Center Drive South. County Route 64 is the unsigned designation for Bellport Avenue, and Station Road from the village of Bellport to Coram–Yaphank (Mill) Road and for Coram–Yaphank Road from Bellport Avenue to NY 112 since 1998. In the 1960s it

2380-490: 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 –

2465-448: 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

2550-521: 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

2635-590: Is for Furrow Roads (eastern terminus of CR 90 ) and Barretts Avenue, both of which were once intended to be integrated into the Central Suffolk Highway . Before the grade crossing of the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road , a driveway for the former site of the Holtsville train station , can be found on the right side, while the Islip–Brookhaven town line takes a left turn to follow

2805-723: Is in Tuckahoe . County Route 53 was Clinton Avenue in Bay Shore. Today it serves as a southbound only suffixed route of CR 13 , known as CR 13A south from the intersection of Reil Place. North of this intersection, Clinton Avenue is a string of roads running parallel to Fifth Avenue maintained by the town of Islip. County Route 54 is mainly Hulse Landing Road, a two-lane road that runs north and south Wading River. The route begins at Sound Avenue in Wading River, with Hulse Landing Road continuing south from

2890-605: 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

2975-401: Is named Lake Avenue (formerly Old East Moriches–Riverhead Road) south of a traffic circle with NY 24 and Peconic Avenue north of it. It has a posted 55 mph (89 km/h) speed limit for a majority of its length. The road begins at an intersection with CR 51 and heads northeast, roughly continuing the track of CR 51 while that road curves north onto Center Drive South. It passes

3060-568: 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

3145-483: Is one of the few streets along the road to span from Montauk Highway to the Great South Bay, thus making it an important street by local standards. One of the few areas of commercial zoning along the road is at the blinker-light intersection of Bayport Avenue, where Middle Road moves slightly to the southeast, only to return to the northeast before reaching Gillette Avenue. Shortly after this, CR 65 crosses

3230-475: Is only available from Woodside Avenue; however this interchange also includes an underpass for a driveway to the Holtsville I.R.S. office. Further north, motorists will encounter the southern terminus of Blue Point Road, which until the town of Islip allowed development on the west side of the road in the mid-20th century, actually reached Blue Point . The last intersection within range of the town of Islip

3315-406: 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

3400-439: The Long Island Rail Road . CR 61 begins at CR 19 , in the town of Brookhaven where that section of Waverly Avenue becomes Patchogue–Holbrook Road, and Log Road becomes a dead end street. From here, road takes a northeasterly turn and straightens out along the Islip–Brookhaven town line. CR 61 is the last interchange along Woodside Avenue ( CR 99 ) before its western terminus at Patchogue–Holbrook Road. Access

3485-626: 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

3570-418: The village of Brightwaters . Eastbound and westbound carriageways are separated by two different underpasses beneath the interchange with NY 27 (Sunrise Highway), both of which briefly join the service roads. When the eastbound and westbound lanes merge again, the first site the encounter is The John Thomas Inne on the southeast corner of Howell's Road and the eastbound service road. At Manatuck Boulevard,

3655-502: 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

3740-605: The Brightwaters village line moves from the north side of CR 57 to the south side, but still runs along the road until Clinton Avenue, where CR 57 leaves Brightwaters just west of the intersection of CR 13 . CR 57 turns south onto Third Avenue, where it crosses CR 50 , and finally terminates at NY 27A in downtown Bay Shore. County Route 57A was the former designation for Third Avenue south of Howell's Road towards NY 27A in Bay Shore. It became part of CR 57. County Route 57B

3825-584: The Grumman Calverton Airport. An interchange with the expressway was also supposed to have been built. Neither of these proposals were ever accepted. CR 55 was truncated to East Moriches–Riverhead Road in 1986, and the rest of Eastport–Manor Road fell under the jurisdiction of the Town of Brookhaven. This section is the home to the Shrine of Our Lady of The Island . County Route 56

3910-412: The Islip–Brookhaven town line, where it enters the hamlet of Blue Point . In what will be a common pattern in the town of Brookhaven, Middle Road makes a sharp left turn to the north, then a right turn at the intersections of Humphrey Road (to the west) and Avery Lane (to the north). CR 65 then crosses a creek that's within a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation preserve area. Once

3995-576: 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

The entire route is in Hampton Bays . County Route 63 is a two-lane north–south highway that connects Riverside and NY 24 with Riverhead and NY 25 . It

4590-574: The east side of the canal, CR 62 runs beneath the Sunrise Highway Bridge over the canal, but has no access to that road. After passing by some marinas and shore front homes, CR 62 seems to terminate at a T-intersection, but in reality makes a right turn at that intersection onto Sunset Avenue. Newtown Road, on the other hand, continues northwest through part of the Shinnecock Indian Reservation along

4675-530: The eastern terminus of CR 98 (Frowein Road). The route runs along the west side of two local airports ( Lufker Airport and Spadaro Airport ) where it also crosses the former right-of-way for the Manorville Branch of the Long Island Rail Road . At NY 27 (Sunrise Highway), CR 51 becomes a four-lane expressway and is one of the roads served by the incomplete exit 61. The other one

4760-556: The eastern terminus of Portion Road onto Horseblock Road. North of Horseblock Road, a town maintained extension of Waverly Avenue curves through the hills of a housing development towards College Road, at the former intersection with Highview Drive, a partial dirt road that had street name signs years after being closed off. County Route 62 can be found on the west side of the Shinnecock Canal along Newtown Road north of Montauk Highway and partially into Sunset Avenue at

4845-471: The intersection of Division Avenue, which runs directly along the south side of the tracks. Before crossing the Patchogue River , CR 65 move slightly away from the edge of the tracks, but not far enough away to be out of sight from the tracks. CR 65 ends at CR 19 (West Avenue). Consequently, CR 19's southern terminus is also at this intersection, but West Avenue continues south as

4930-405: The intersection of Weeks Street, and turns back east again. From there, it crosses Tuthills Creek and enters the village of Patchogue, where it ends at River Avenue, and as Middle Road did with Atlantic Avenue, CR 65 turns north onto River Avenue. Just before River Avenue reaches the at-grade crossing with the Montauk Branch of the Long Island Rail Road , CR 65 turns east one last time at

5015-665: 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

5100-434: The intersection. The road passes by a Wading River Fire Department depot and several businesses within the housing it passes through. Though Hulse Landing Road heads straight north toward Old North Country Road along the western border of Wildwood State Park , CR 54 curves northeast into Wildwood Road, the southern entrance of the park. Although there was signage at the southern terminus of Hulse Landing road at NY 25A,

The roads have

5610-403: The number of traffic lights on the road has increased from six in 1990 to 13 in 2007. After the traffic circle at CR 73, the road continues for the rest of its length with only two lanes plus the center-turn lane. It terminates at NY 25 northeast of the town of Riverhead. County Route 59 is Long Lane in the town of East Hampton . It was once proposed to be extended and serve as

5695-523: The parkland, the road officially enters the hamlet of Bayport . The first intersection to pass for a major intersection within Bayport is McConnell Avenue. At the intersection with the two-lane divided Edgewater Avenue, CR 65 takes a northeasterly turn and serves as the southern border of Bayport Commons Park. Bayview Avenue is also across from this park, which ends just west of the intersection of Conetquot Road. Snedecore Avenue intersects Middle Road and

5780-542: The portion of CR 54 between Sound Avenue and 25A has been decommissioned. The road formerly began at NY 25A near land formerly owned by the Calverton Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant . Between NY 25A and Sound Avenue the formerly proposed Nugent Drive Extension was supposed to cross over CR 54 at an interchange. The Nugent Drive Extension was intended to serve as the relocated NY 25A. Sound Avenue

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

From there, the road runs north through Cranberry Bog County Park. It curves northeast again at a plot of land that was originally intended to be the southern terminus of CR 103 (Cedar Swamp Road), then enters

6205-401: The shores of Wildwood Lake and provides access to streets leading to homes along the north and east side of the lake.

After this crossing, Waverly Avenue immediately crosses Long Island Avenue, which until the mid-1970s terminated at Waverly Avenue, forcing westbound motorists to make a right turn and then a left onto Union Avenue across from the Holtsville Fire Department. Waverly Avenue crosses over the Long Island Expressway with no access other than to the service roads. However, until CR 97 (Nicolls Road)

6460-494: The vast and complex exit 61 interchange forced the realignment of CR 55, as well as Head of the Neck Road. When CR 111 was built between the Long Island Expressway and Sunrise Highway during the 1970s, it replaced Eastport–Manorville Road north of the road's current terminus towards the L.I.E. However, Suffolk County Planning Department wanted to build a new extension of CR 55 north of CR 111 leading to

The NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways

6630-426: 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,

On October 30, 1975 it was applied to Long Island Avenue (also known as Patchogue Road) between CR 101 and CR 21 on the north side of the Long Island Expressway in Yaphank. County Route 65 is primarily Middle Road from Sayville to Patchogue , where it includes Atlantic Avenue, Weeks Street, River Avenue, and Division Street. In

6800-537: Was built in conjunction with the interchanges with the Long Island Expressway at exits 72 and 73. After the incomplete interchange with I-495 (which would have been expanded when I-495 was extended eastward), the road quickly narrows to four lanes with a center-turn lane as it passes the large Tanger Outlet Center complex, which was built during the 1990s. Continuing eastward, the road alternates between three lanes and four lanes, always with

6885-490: Was extended to the Long Island Expressway, it served as one of the eastbound destinations for exit 62. On the northeast corner of the westbound service road is the Waverly Avenue Elementary School. The remainder of CR 61 is residential and wooded. Due to the lack of county route shields, CR 61 ends unceremoniously at CR 16 (Horseblock Road), east of where CR 16 moves from

The project would also help reduce flooding along Deer Park Avenue, which

7055-601: 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. On June 4, 2001, at 7:30 p.m., in part due to

7140-475: Was the former designation for Third Avenue north of Howell's Road to either Sunrise Highway eastbound service road, or possibly as far north as CR 13 and Brook Avenue. The road was decommissioned and is now maintained by the town of Islip. County Route 58 , locally known as Old Country Road, serves as a northern bypass of the section of NY 25 that runs through the downtown area of Riverhead . Built through what were once relatively desolate fields,

7225-638: Was to be transformed into a dead end street west of former CR 54. Today, the land intended to be used for the road is now part of a housing development. The portion of CR 54 north of Sound Avenue was designated as NY 352 from c.  1931 to c.  1938 . The entire route is in Wading River.
