	chuckart:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 04:53 GMT	22 points
	wow, this is hard

	Goldie:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 04:54 GMT	20 points
	This is one of them Quizzes that nobody will get them all right. 10/10 on the difficulty meter but quite fun

	percussiveness:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 04:58 GMT	20 points
	Never would have thought this could possibly be that hard. Excellent quiz!

	austin massachusetts:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 05:08 GMT	6 points
	Wow, only got 42. Definitely very fun and challenging.

	mokos:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 05:21 GMT	6 points
	Wow, this was a great and creative idea! I got 44 on first try. Since the stats are down, I don't know- is that good?!?!

	Lyn_Marie:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 05:35 GMT	7 points
	Great quiz! In New York, it's spelled Thruway. Love the quiz although I missed a bunch of them I shouldn't have. Thanks!

	jimpoz:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 05:37 GMT	3 points
	56. Lost one because I spelled it "thruway," and Quay must be Canada only. Still, kudos on a pleasantly out-of-left-field and interesting quiz.

	DynamiteDG:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 05:58 GMT	6 points
	Well done. I got 45. There are some I have never, and probably will never hear of.

	titaniferous:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 06:32 GMT	-2 points
	Agreed that this is a challenging and interesting one. But "Bayoo"? Really? Wasn't he the Bear in The Jungle Book? ;)

	JP17mets:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 06:39 GMT	3 points
	Awesome quiz! This is just the type of stuff I love about sporcle. Got 54 first try. I can't believe I actually put "skyway" and some other randoms.

	drhaase:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 07:06 GMT	3 points
	well this was awesome...52 right...didn't realize how many things there are...Mountain??? really???

	Bethannie:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 07:33 GMT	11 points
	This was just awazing - not only fun but instructive- this is what Sporcle is all about! Thankyou!

	LAD1992:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 07:44 GMT	11 points
	They don't have parade... My school is located on "Oaklands Pde". hmm

	LAD1992:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 07:46 GMT	7 points
	They don't accept "circuit" either Hmm

	ElDavo:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 08:01 GMT	11 points
	The bear in The Jungle Book was Baloo, I believe. Haven't watched in years, though. Also, I don't accept that all of these have been used more than once anywhere at any time.

	davidr:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 10:11 GMT	9 points
	It makes no difference to this quiz but in the UK, the suffix is part of the official name of the street and everyone uses it when talking about the street. So, for example, `Victoria Road' (IIRC, the most common street name in the country) is definitely `Victoria Road' and not just `Victoria' because, likely as not, there'll be a `Victoria Avenue' close by. They used to build whole housing estates and call the streets in them `Angel Road', `Angel Street', `Angel Crescent', `Angel Gardens' and `Angel Everything Else You Can Think Of' but they don't do that any more because it's stupidly confusing, not least for the fire brigade and ambulance service who need to get to the right one first time.

	Statto2:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 11:15 GMT	9 points
	I thought 23 was quite good for a Brit, but then looked at the answers & I'd missed Crescent & Place both of which are common in the UK! One that doesn't feature is "Close" which is the usual suffix for a cul-de-sac in UK, having looked at Wikipedia it looks like "Court" is the US equivalent.

	micah:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 11:52 GMT	16 points
	Stravenue? Some people are weird...

	loose_cannon:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 12:05 GMT	11 points
	I got "Park" and "Place" and "Walk". But no board.

	jesus:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 12:08 GMT	1 point
	What about Brow?

	newenglander:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 12:19 GMT	3 points
	This is a great quiz. I got 46. But radial?

	bsd987:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 12:21 GMT	6 points
	Great quiz.

	Bretzky:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 13:22 GMT	3 points
	I got 40 on the first try. I can't believe I missed Turnpike, since I just spent five hours driving across Pennsylvania on the Pa. Turnpike on Saturday.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 13:29 GMT	3 points
	That was fun but really hard. I got 47.

	shel99:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 13:44 GMT	9 points
	awesome quiz! I only got 37 but felt really dumb seeing some of the ones I missed. But what the hell is a stravenue?

	lyttmabatr:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 13:46 GMT	3 points
	So hard! Excellent. But not vennel? vale? close? circus?

	estivator:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 13:59 GMT	3 points
	echo the others; crazy fun. had no idea there were so many and I think a lot are peculiar to suburban/exurban housing developments. I got 32 on my 2nd try after I realized the kinds of words that might be accepted. still I missed some real obvious ones. Quay would have been fun, but it is largely Canadian/British. Although my boss lives in a luxury apartment building the name of which includes the word, and that's in Cleveland.

	rgractor78:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 14:08 GMT	2 points
	How the F were we supposed to get Stravenue?

	davebesag:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 14:32 GMT	3 points
	I got 36 as a Brit. There's some which I'm surprised aren't on the list (i.e. Vale, Parade, Cuttings, Cottages).

	Kicking222:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 14:40 GMT	7 points
	Wait, there are 146 of these?! Are you serious?! Yowsers.

	Tom:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 14:50 GMT	4 points
	Got 56. I guess my years of pushing a hack were not all in vain. There are a few more could be included, though: chase, strip, and palisades. Good quiz.

	radiosilence:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 15:20 GMT	3 points
	48/146. We are totally unoriginal when it comes to street suffixes in my metro area.

	Robinski:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 15:23 GMT	1 point
	I was rubbish at that, but you are missing quite a few Close, Loan, Stairs, Circus, Narrows, Hills - in fact i take it that you didn't do plurals - fair enough, but it does mean that things like Gardens are missing.

	Massagraf:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 15:35 GMT	5 points
	Very original quiz! Keep it up! My favorite of these 146 is definitly 'Island', I love it.

	Cal Galleazzi:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 15:52 GMT	5 points
	lol wow did terrible but stravenue? honestly?

	Josh:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 16:02 GMT	10 points
	According to Wikipedia, "stravenues" exist only in Tucson, Arizona and run diagonally between streets and avenues. So no, we really weren't supposed to be able to get it. For the Brits commenting on this, we don't have Closes or Circuses in the USA, which is why they aren't on this quiz.

	Annie:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 16:15 GMT	5 points
	I live on a street whose suffix is "talley." But I can't find that on the internet anywhere.

	shani3:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 16:18 GMT	9 points
	As a postal worker, I'm ashamed to say i got only 37 (and I have to see these every day)! That being said, what about "promenade", "county road", or "rural route"?
