West 14th Street begins at an interchange with New York State Route 9A northeast of Greenwich Village. At the end of the interchange, 10th Avenue crosses. The street continues east intersecting Ninth Avenue, Hudson Street, Eighth Avenue, Seventh Avenue, Sixth Avenue and Fifth Avenue. After Fifth Avenue, West 14th becomes East 14th and goes on to form the southern border of Union Square between University Place and Fourth Avenue.

The street goes on to intersect Second Avenue, the future location of the 14th Street Station of the Second Avenue Subway. 14th Street then intersects the main thoroughfares of Alphabet City: 1st Avenue, Avenue A, Avenue B, and Avenue C, where the street terminates.

Famous quotes containing the words road and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
