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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
