Roads with similar names crossing each other happens all over the country (including here in Boston), although the sheer number of Peachtrees in Atlanta really got me the first time I was there. I suppose there are probably just as many Washington Streets and Beacon Streets around here, but since other parts of the country don't have that "re-use every street name in every town" thing we've got, they had to come up with a different name for each Peachtree. They can't all be "Peachtree Street".
