Beacon Street is a major thoroughfare in Boston, Massachusetts and several of its western suburbs. From its start near Boston's circumferential highway, Route 128, Beacon Street winds its way through the city of Newton, passes Boston College, before it meets Cleveland Circle in the Boston neighborhood of Brighton, and then, running on either side of MBTA Green Line trolley tracks, follows a northeasterly slant through Brookline up to Kenmore Square, skirting the area around Fenway Park. After Kenmore Square, the street becomes a one-way avenue through the Back Bay neighborhood before reaching Charles Street at the foot of Beacon Hill. As a two-lane, bi-directional street, it marches up the hill before meeting Park Street in front of the Massachusetts State House. It continues as a smaller, one-way street for a block descending Beacon Hill before meeting Tremont Street and becoming School Street.
