My road’s like that; and about a third of a mile. Even these days, I can walk that.
I just moved house a few weeks ago, and now live on the shortest street I ever have. Also a cul-de-sac, it’s maybe 50m long. I think the next-shortest street I lived, which was many decades ago, was about 80m*.
*Estimates based on hazy recall and wild guesses.
Yup though you wouldn’t think so, it’s a long spread out suburban street in a DC suburb (a Parkway, whatever that means?) without much of a sidewalk, that goes on for several miles . But there is a hiking trail that follows the whole length the street so you can actually walk from the southern end to the northern end without walking along the road.
I can, and have, many times; it’s only five blocks long.
Can and do, many times a week. Our street is half a mile end-to-end, and my wife and I try to walk it both ways at least five times every week. Sometimes we take slightly different routes, and sometimes we drive five minutes to a nearby beach and walk its length, which is about the same distance.
I live in a multi-building complex, so the road sort of wends around. It’s less than a kilometer, so easily.
Mine is only about 150 yards long. And there have only been 2 murders in the buildings since I moved here. So, yes I can walk the street.
My suburban street is only 700 meters long, so yes absolutely.
My parents’ house is on Main Street in their village, which bears that name for about 1.6km, so considered in that light it’s walkable. But the actual road continues out in both directions to neighbouring towns for a total distance of about 40km.
My current house is on a very short street. I walk most of the length of it whenever I go to the community mailbox.
At my previous house, I was almost at the end of my street, and it was almost exactly 3 kilometers to a busy thoroughfare at the other end. When my elderly mother came to live with us, she’d often walk that 3 km and then over a couple of blocks to go to a supermarket on the other site of that busy thoroughfare, and then back. Of course I’d drive her wherever she needed to go whenever I could, but back then I was still working and she liked to be independent. I’m sure that 7 km or so walk every couple of days was one of the reasons she lived well into her 90s.
Ah, interesting question. I just looked it up and my street is about 2 miles long. Unfortunately at this time I would not be able to walk this distance. In spite of my previous optimism in another thread, my knee and my ankle are conspiring against me and it would be very difficult to do.
Cul-de-sac here. About 1/4 of a mile. Our mail goes to a ‘gang’ mail box at the start of it so I walk it often.
My street is a major thoroughfare about three miles long. It’s beautiful with a lot of nice neighborhoods yet would still take a lot of determination to traverse the steep slopes.
My address was once on Jefferson Davis Highway (Route 1 in Virginia) but the building I lived in was on a private street, that itself was off a private street that connected to Route 1.
I see from looking at Google Maps that the private streets now have official names, even though there is now a gate at the entrance to the apartment complex at Route 1.
So I guess technically (legally) my street in those days went from Florida to Maine, but if I walked in my street I would probably say it was Gardenia Way (or something) which was at most 100 yards long which connected to Rose Court which was maybe 300 yards.
My street is a “Drive” and is pretty short because it is within a residential subdivision.
I can walk all 3 streets that comprise my neighborhood - I think combined they are just over 2 miles, but when you add coming back out of the cul-de-sacs and the spurs to the main road, it’s right around 3 miles.
When we lived in King George, VA, we were on Kings Highway (VA 3) - just a tad over 56 miles end to end. Given 2 or 3 days, I could have walked it.
Our street is 3 blocks long, so yes. The only long street I’ve lived on is Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn/Queens, but I did run the length of it occasionally.
Google says our street is 1.7 km (about a mile). We regularly walk most of that distance to the end of the street (and back) when we walk the dog.
Yes, my street is 2 longish blocks long, according to Google Maps 0.3 miles. Dead end at one end, at the other end it turns about 45 degrees and becomes another street.
Our street is in one of those ‘typical’ suburban developments, you know, a developer gets a chunk of land, divides it up into same sized lots with lots of curly roads and dead ends and such. Our particular street has exactly four houses on each side, with a branching road coming off on one side. So, maybe 200ish yards long? To give you a clearer idea of how challenging walking the whole length is, my nearly 90 year old mother, who had had both knees replaced a few years earlier, one day did the entire length and back again WITH HER PUSH WALKER a few months after her first stroke.
My Chicago street is one of the NS letter streets that start west of Pulaski: bunches of streets starting with K, then L, up to P, I think. My own section is only about 5 or 6 blocks, ended by Interstate highway to the North and an annex section near Harwood Heights (an enclave municipality) to the South. So I’ll answer Yes.
I just looked at the imagery of my same address block but south and the homes are remarkably the same. The yard setbacks are a little less but it feels familiar & homey.
Neat thread idea, it got me looking at the maps
