Suffixed Routes
NY 5 has three suffixed routes, all located in Oneida County, with NY 5S extending eastward into three other counties. The NY 5A designation was also used for two other routes.
- The NY 5A designation has been used for three distinct highways:
- The first NY 5A was a short-lived designation for the portion of modern NY 5 east of Buffalo. When it existed from 1924 to the mid-1920s, NY 5 was routed on what is now US 20.
- The second NY 5A was a northerly alternate route of NY 5 between Aurelius and Sennett in Cayuga County. It was assigned c. 1933 and renumbered to NY 135 c. 1937. That route was removed c. 1939. Its former routing is now maintained by Cayuga County as CR 10A, CR 10B, and CR 10C.
- The current NY 5A (5.65 miles or 9.09 kilometres) is a short alternate route of NY 5 between New Hartford and downtown Utica in Oneida County. It was assigned in the mid-1930s.
- NY 5B (3.12 miles or 5.02 kilometres) is a short alternate route southwest of Utica in Oneida County, connecting NY 5 to NY 12B. The route was assigned in the 1930s.
- NY 5S (73.03 miles or 117.53 kilometres) is an alternate route of NY 5 on the south side of the Mohawk River between Utica, Oneida County, and Rotterdam, Schenectady County. The route parallels NY 5 (which follows the north side of the river) and is partially a limited-access highway. It was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York.

Famous quotes containing the word routes:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
