42nd Avenue South reaches East 42nd Street at a signalized crossing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The matching street number makes the Avenue-versus-Street distinction especially important in directions. School, church, park, and transit names around the junction give families and neighborhood visitors several practical orientation points. The repeated 42nd numbering separates the avenue from the street in conversation.
