47-479: Windsor Mill Road once continued east to near the intersection of Pennsylvania and Fremont Avenues ; a short piece survives as School Street. The road is an old one, existing prior to the founding of Baltimore in 1729. Currently, Windsor Mill Road begins near Walbrook Junction in West Baltimore as a one-way street for several blocks, but becomes a larger two-way road at Gwynns Falls Parkway and crosses under

94-438: A green wave by adjusting traffic lights on the through route, because strict left turn phases are no longer required at each intersection. On occasion, "couplet" has been applied specifically to the point where the one-way streets and the two-way street meet, rather than the paired one-way streets themselves. Flows on a one-way pair may follow the traffic handedness convention of the locale, or may be switched. Following

141-423: A one-way pair of streets at North Avenue northwest of downtown Baltimore . Northbound MD 140 follows Fulton Avenue, which is a two-way street on both sides of North Avenue, and the southbound route follows one-way Monroe Street. US 40 Truck follows North Avenue through the pair of intersections, northbound US 1 enters from the south on Fulton Avenue and turns east onto North Avenue, and southbound US 1 enters from

188-402: A bi-directional traffic facility – such as a road , bus , streetcar , or light rail line – where its opposing flows exist as two independent and roughly parallel facilities. In the context of roads, a one-way pair consists of two one-way streets whose flows combine on one or both ends into a single two-way street . The one-way streets may be separated by just

235-543: A four-lane undivided highway that passes the Pikesville Armory , Suburban Club Golf Course, the Maryland State Police headquarters, and Druid Ridge Cemetery and intersects Old Court Road .

After passing the two parks, Windsor Mill Road runs mostly straight with few curves. The road is lined mostly with single-family houses, apartments, and small shops and shopping centers throughout its duration. Then passing Forest Park Avenue , it crosses

376-399: A new school called Windsor Mill Middle School . When traveling eastbound on Windsor Mill Road, after passing the parks, Windsor Mill Road becomes one way facing in the other direction. At this point, a right turn would bring the motorist onto Lyndhurst Avenue, which continues to an intersection at Clifton Avenue. A left turn, which is more common, and is permitted without stopping, will bring

423-647: A one-way pair. The streets carry traffic to and from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge through the Mayfair and Wissinoming neighborhoods.

517-510: A result, MD 140 follows the bypass of the original MD 32 between Westminster and Taneytown that was first designated as part of MD 97. In 1977, plans were made for US 140 to be decommissioned, with the route to be replaced by MD 140 between Baltimore and Westminster, MD 97 between Westminster and the Pennsylvania state line, and PA 97 between the Maryland state line and Gettysburg.

564-629: A single block, such as in a grid network , or may be spaced further apart with intermediate parallel roads. One use of a one-way pair is to increase the vehicular capacity of a major route through a developed area such as a central business district . If not carefully treated with other traffic calming features, the benefit in vehicular capacity is offset by a potential for increased road user deaths, in particular people walking and biking. A one-way pair can be created by converting segments of two-way streets into one-way streets, which allows lanes to be added without widening. It also allows easier creation of

611-539: Is a 49-mile (79 km) state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland . The route runs from U.S. Route 1 (US 1) and US 40 Truck in Baltimore northwest to the Pennsylvania border, where the road continues into that state as Pennsylvania Route 16 (PA 16).

1175-477: The Pennsylvania state line. Waynesboro Pike continues northwest as PA 16 across South Mountain toward Waynesboro . Until 1979, MD 140 was US 140 . Before US 140 was deleted, it was where MD 140 is today. At the divergence of MD 140 and MD 97 northwest of Westminster, the two routes were swapped after the deletion of the U.S. route; MD 97 now follows US 140's old route to Pennsylvania, while MD 140 follows MD 97's original route to Taneytown and US 15 .

The east side of Portland, Oregon , features a number of one-way pairs, both north–south and east–west, with the east–west pairs being associated with bridges; these all follow the usual flow convention – see Transportation in Portland, Oregon , for more details. By contrast,

1363-646: The city of Pittsburgh serve as a one-way pair; Forbes Avenue and Fifth Avenue . Both streets begin in Downtown near Point State Park before becoming a one-way pair just east of Market Square , with Forbes serving outbound traffic and Fifth serving inbound traffic, going through Uptown and Oakland before both streets end up with two-way traffic and diverge, with Fifth Avenue eventually terminating in Highland Park , while Forbes terminates in Wilkinsburg just outside

1410-757: The convention allows a one-way pair to be more easily integrated into an existing network of two-way streets, as a single two-way street is effectively split into the two sides of the pair, as in the diagram below: The Sydney central business district features a number of one way pairs. One example is Pitt Street with Castlereagh Street . Pitt street carries only northbound traffic from Goulburn Street to Market Street .
