Route Description
SR 149 begins in the Princess Anne section of Virginia Beach, which contains the city offices and courthouse, a vestige of when the community was the county seat of Princess Anne County. SR 165 heads northwest as Princess Anne Road toward Norfolk and southwest as North Landing Road toward Chesapeake. SR 149 heads east as a two-lane road that passes by a residential subdivision and through a swampy area where the highway crosses West Neck Creek. The state highway enters a suburban residential area shortly before reaching its terminus at an indeterminate point just west of where Princess Anne Road expands to a four-lane divided highway. Princess Anne Road turns south toward Knotts Island, North Carolina at the following intersection with General Booth Boulevard in the community of Nimmo. General Booth Boulevard heads northeast toward the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.

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)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
