Route Description
NY 437 begins adjacent to St. Joseph Cemetery at a traffic circle with NY 38 in the town of Fleming, located south of the city of Auburn. It heads east as White Bridge Road, running along the north end of Owasco Lake. Roughly midway along its routing, NY 437 crosses the Owasco Outlet and passes into both Owasco and Emerson Park, a public park owned and maintained by Cayuga County. The route ends 200 yards (180 m) later at a T-intersection with NY 38A in an area of Owasco known as Melrose Park. NY 437 serves an undeveloped, forested area west of the outlet and a mostly residential area east of the waterway. The highway is just 0.30 miles (0.48 km) from end to end, making it the shortest signed state highway in New York.
The route is one of a handful of state-maintained highways in New York to culminate in a traffic circle or roundabout at one end of the route. NY 635, in neighboring Onondaga County, ends at NY 298 and exit 35 of the New York State Thruway via Carrier Circle, a large traffic circle in Syracuse. NY 140 west of Albany ends at a roundabout with NY 85 at its western end. Interstate 587 outside Kingston also ends at a roundabout with NY 28 and exit 19 of the Thruway. NY 27 also ends in an apparent traffic circle at its eastern terminus on Montauk Point; however, it is merely a closed loop created by the highway running back into itself (the same feature is present on U.S. Route 9 just short of the Canadian border).

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
