Massachusetts Roads - MA 16



MA 16 began life as a north-south route, with the north end at MA 1A in the Revere Beach area. It's really SW-NE, but for whatever reason Massachusetts decided to change it to W-E, creating a wrong-way multiplex with MA 2 instead of a right-way multiplex with US 3. Parts of MA 16 are the Mystic River Parkway and Revere Beach Parkway.

I believe Forest St., at MA 16 in Wellesley. The arrows tell you absolutely nothing the green blade sign doesn't already tell you.


Old signs in an old garage near the RI border. MA 16 and MA 140 meet in Milford, to the north. Shadow courtesy SPUI.


Four lanes of concrete on a surface road, west of I-90.


Two (or really three) lanes of concrete, with asphalt shoulders, on the east side of Newton. A lot of MA 16's concrete has been replaced, but a lot is still quite old, and it looks like some of it will never be asphalted over.


Two signs from inside the Wellington Station parking lot (on the Orange Line). There's also button copy in either direction approaching the station.
