New York State Reference Routes

The Southern State Parkway (also known as the Southern State or the Southern Parkway) is a 25.53 mile (41.09 km) long east-west limited-access highway on Long Island in the U.S. state of New York. The western terminus of the parkway is at an interchange with the Belt and Cross Island Parkways in Hempstead adjacent to the New York City line. The eastern terminus is at the Heckscher State Parkway in East Islip. The Southern State Parkway comprises the western portion of New York State Reference Route 908M (an unsigned reference route assigned by NYSDOT), with the Heckscher occupying the eastern section. As its name implies, the Parkway services communities along the southern half of the island. Image File history File links Southern_Pkwy_Shield. ...

Along with the other state parkways on Long Island, the Southern State is patrolled by Troop L of the New York State Police, based at Republic Airport in East Farmingdale. The parkway is infamous for its meandering zigzagging direction. Very little of the highway is built in a straight line, as it was built to avoid wealthy neighborhoods such as Malverne and Valley Stream along with already existing parks, cemeteries and other places (such as Republic Airport).[citation needed] The New York State Police is the state police force of 4600 sworn Troopers for the state of New York. ...

The parkway runs east-west, as it goes through Belmont Lake State Park and Republic Airport, and has its western terminus at the Nassau-Queens border, where it interchanges with the Cross Island Parkway and Belt Parkway. The parkway provides six lanes of traffic most of the way, with eight lanes of traffic between the western terminus and Hempstead Avenue, 7 lanes (3 westbound, 4 eastbound) to Eagle Avenue and six lanes east of there.

The Parkway's first exit is listed as Exit 13. This is because the Cross Island Parkway once began the exit numbering scheme, which the Southern State Parkway continued. However, the Cross Island Parkway's scheme was changed to instead continue those of the Belt Parkway. To avoid further confusion, the exits of the Southern State Parkway have not been changed.

The section of the parkway between Exit 17 (Hempstead Avenue) and Exit 32 (NY 110) is nicknamed "Blood Alley," by locals, as the lack of adequate acceleration and deceleration lanes, numerous bends in the road, and aggressive drivers often travelling at dangerously excessive speeds have caused numerous fatal accidents along that section of the road, making it one of the most dangerous stretches of highway on Long Island.[2] New York State Route 110 is a major north-South Highway along the western border of Suffolk County, New York. ...


It is perhaps best known for being clogged with traffic on summer weekends as it is used as the easiest route out of New York City to major Long Island beaches and resorts, such as Jones Beach, Fire Island, and the Hamptons, however, most of the highway, especially in Nassau County usually has heavy congestion during weekday rush hours as well.

Southern State Parkway (2670 words)
In 1977, maintenance of the Southern State Parkway was transferred from the LISPC to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), although ownership remained under the jurisdiction of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP).
The Southern State Parkway and Heckscher State Parkway should be widened from six to eight lanes east to EXIT 44 (NY 27 / Sunrise Highway) in East Islip, in accordance with the "LITP 2000" plan.
If widening of the parkway were to occur, I would like to see a six-lane main roadway and collector-distributor roads in the area to deal with the volume of entering and exiting the parkway, especially from NY 105 to the Meadowbrook Parkway as a phase I project.
Southern State Parkway - Long Island (529 words)
As the parkway grew east into Suffolk County it was built as two 25-foot-wide roadways, separated by a ten-foot-wide grassed median.
In 1962, the Southern State Parkway was extended east of this location as the Heckscher (Spur) State Parkway.
The Southern State Parkway was one of the first limited-access highways in the country.
