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:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
