Oh dude, yes! To be fair, we name a lot of streets the same things over and over here.
Example: Waltham Road in Lexington is the road to Waltham Center, and thus Lexington Street in Waltham is the main road to the Battle Green in Lexington. They're the same road in adjacent towns. When people commuted by horse and cart, this was an important detail. If you're new to Boston, these town borders are a blur.
I was juiced that you mentioned Dunwoody. My previous employer's headquarters is on Ashford Dunwoody Road in Atlanta. I wouldn't have thought about that had I not been filling out the tax forms this week. (Yeah, it's sad -- I did all the math in late January but I had to wait until my HC proof arrived last week.)
