Routes of confusion

Boston has nearly 200 streets that share names, a cause of confusion for residents and police alike. Here is a list of most of the city's streets, avenues places, squares, courts, and roads, that do not stand alone.

All are streets unless otherwise listed. Those separated by comma are separate streets in different communities. Those separated by an "&" are the same streets, running contiguously through several communities.
