Extreme numbered streets and avenues in Miami-Dade County[edit]
An interesting little "factlet" (not "factoid" because this bit of trivia is indeed a fact) is that Miami-Dade County has some of the highest numbered streets in the United States (if this is not true, please let us know!). Miami streets and avenues follow a grid pattern: the meeting point is Miami Avenue and Flagler Street in the heart of downtown Miami. This divides the city into four quadrants: NE, NW, SE, SW. Most, but not all of the towns and communities in Miami-Dade County conform to this street numbering system. After carefully scanning maps I found a SW 297th Ave. and also a street as far south as 424th St. However, the most remote intersection I could find was SW 217th Ave. and 400th St. The northernmost street I could find is NE 212th St. If anyone has additional information, please post a comment.

It seems there may be a few places like that. For instance Gainesville, Florida, on googlemaps shows streets going as far west as SW 298th and over 200s going east for most of Alachua County, Florida. I don't know of any that go as far as in the 400s like Dade County does. Perhaps other cities in other States? - Marc Averette 14:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I too have seen the maps and have gone as far as SW 237th AV (there is a state park there that I have visited). I will later in the week attempt to find the more extreme avenues. SW 424th ST does exist (it is the only #'d street after 400). There is a prison on the road and it connects to U.S.-1 on the way to the Florida Keys.Bsd987 (talk) 00:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The northernmost street in Miami-Dade County is County Line Road, NW and NE 215th St, part of which is actually in Broward County. The city of Pembroke Pines in Broward County and Okeechobee County also have outrageously high-numbered streets.
