Suffixed Routes
US 1 once had as many as three suffixed routes; however, all three were eliminated by the 1960s.
- NY 1A is a former alternate route of US 1 via the Holland Tunnel and lower Manhattan. It existed from 1934 to c. 1962.
- The NY 1B designation was used for two distinct highways:
- The first NY 1B was a connector between NY 1A at Pelham Bay Park and US 1 in New Rochelle that utilized Shore Road, Pelham Road, and Echo Avenue. When it was assigned c. 1932, it ended at the New York City line. The route was extended into the Bronx in the late 1930s, but removed c. 1941.
- The second NY 1B is a former designation for the Major Deegan Expressway (now part of I-87). The route was assigned c. 1941 and removed by 1947.
- NY 1X is a former designation for a portion of the Hutchinson River Parkway. It existed from 1941 to 1946.

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)
