3 unusual facts about U.S. Route 1 in New York


U.S. Route 1 in New York

U.S. Route 1 (US 1) is a part of the U.S. Highway System that runs from Key West, Florida, to the Canada–United States border at Fort Kent, Maine.

A mile past that junction and downtown, NY 127, also bound for White Plains, forks left at Keeler Avenue as 1 itself begins to trend more to the east into Rye, passing Rye Neck High School at the town line.

Traffic lessens here as the neighborhood grows less commercial, and a half-mile later, at Putnam Avenue, the road crosses the Byram River into Greenwich, Connecticut at the beginning of a brief split (southbound traffic enters New York on Hillside Avenue).
