at the corner of MLK Ave/Drive and Good Hope Road
at the corner of 13th/onramp and Good Hope Road/MLK Drive..?
But as you can see above, where exactly MLK Avenue ends and MLK Drive begins is a bit confusing. Are there sections of MLK Avenue that are also MLK Drive? Are there parts of Good Hope Road, a street that intersects with MLK Avenue, also now MLK Drive? Confusing! (and redundant...)

and ridiculous!!
I just say that sign at Good Hope and was thinking WTF?! Seems completely crazy but not surprising for DC.
...and, given the way the road was designated in the legislation, you can drive MLK Drive northbound, out of Anacostia, but you can't drive it southbound, into Anacostia. From what I understand, it was not designated on the bridge that heads into the neighborhood, making it a one-way 'street' for part of its stretch.
If I'm right (I could be wrong), this is just a sloppy, sloppy job on the council's part. Wouldn't be surprising at all, though.
Nice coverage, this does seem confusing.
I am writing an article about MLK Ave. for a school newspaper. Would you be ok with us using the first picture of MLK Ave from your blog?
Thanks.
Go for it! Thanks for asking.
