Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles. From north to south goes from the San Fernando valley down to Hermosa Beach, then juts east and continues down to Long Beach. Total of 42.8 miles.

In Los Angeles it has GOT to be Wilshire, stretching from the beach in Santa Monica to beyond Down Town L.A.

Canal is the longest street in the city of New Orleans. It once acted as the dividing line between the older French/Spanish colonial-era city and the newer American Sector, today's Central Business District.

Princess Anne Road, definitely, but that thing's so convoluted and pops up in the WEIRDEST places that I couldn't tell you how long it is.

Longest street?

It possibly is one of the most interesting streets in America, Broad Street in Philadelphia. Supposedly the longest straight urban boulevard in the country. It measures at 13 miles and has a little bit of everything.

This is a cool article about it:Broad Street | Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia

“No other street in America quite compares with Broad Street,” wrote E. Digby Baltzell, author of Puritan Boston and Quaker Philadelphia, of the varied architecture north and south of City Hall. Philadelphia’s Broad Street goes past stores, churches, synagogues, museums, funeral parlors, fast food places, gas stations, apartment houses, and rows and rows of row houses. After driving the entire length of the street, Washington-based poet Stanley Plumly once said, “What I love is the immediate juxtaposition of neighborhoods. I don’t think there’s a street that represents America more totally in the full spectrum and range of humanity than Broad Street in Philadelphia.”

I'll apologize in advance if this doesn't fit the parameters of the thread...


Prairie Star Parkway/95th Street/Bannister Road/Colbern Road runs as one continuous roadway from western Lenexa, KS, to just east of Lee's Summit, MO, covering nearly 35 miles. Different names, but one continuous road. Bannister Road is KCMO's designation for 95th Street on the Missouri side, with 95th and Bannister often used interchangeably on the KCMO side. Once 95th/Bannister leaves KCMO to the east, Lee's Summit names the same road Colbern:

the rest of the article you cited:

However, possibly due to wider recognition of the street's actual length, the map inlay has now been removed.

Baseline Rd is the longest in greater Phoenix, goes nonstop from Mountain View in Apache Junction to 99th Ave in Phoenix (though the piece in Apache Junction is called Baseline Ave). 45 miles continuous.

Scottsdale Rd goes from Rio Salado Pkwy until Carefree Hwy (it's Tom Darlington Dr north of Carefree Hwy and Rural Rd south of Rio Salado Pkwy). That is 26.5 miles
