Sunrise Highway starts in Montauk, turns into North and South Conduit Avenues in Queens, which then turns into Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn, which then turns into Caton Avenue, also in Brooklyn. But its all Route 27.

Pardon the nitpick, but you can't count route numbers as "streets", which typically run for hundreds of miles. In NYS, NY Route 5 runs 317 miles from Erie, PA to Albany. US Route 20 runs 2,542 miles -- from Boston to Oregon! |

Actually, Jamaica Avenue is a lot longer than it might seem. It begins life as Lincoln Road in Brooklyn, then turns into East New York Avenue, and into Jamaica Avenue when it leaves Broadway Junction.
And for a little extra interesting trivia: Broadway (that is, Broadway in Manhattan) will take you straight into downtown Montreal. After leaving NYC, it becomes North Broadway in Yonkers, then turns into New York State Route 9, then 9/87, and eventually crosses the border into Quebec. But it's the same unbroken stretch of asphalt!
