What does "Route 110 is the last non-limited-access state highway to go north of New York State Route 25A" mean? Last survivor of the many that have disappeared? Latest constructed?

It means no other State Highway east of NY 110 that's not a limited-access road goes north of NY 25A.
Sunken Meadow State Parkway runs north of NY 25A, but it's a limited-access highway. ----

Not compared to
NY 108,
NY 111 and
NY 112, which end at 25A. Of course, NY 111 ends at the east end of the NY 25-25A multiplex, but that's still 25A. ----

Well, do we need to know that NY 110 is the last state touring route intersection before Route 25A's eastern terminus?Mitch32(

There are plenty of roads that intersect Route 25A before the eastern terminus. They're just not state routes that go north of 25A. When you drive north on most roads on Long Island, and you reach NY 25A, you're usually at the end of that road. Otherwise the only place to go after that is some local street to the Long Island Sound, or in some cases the sound itself. NY 110 is the last one to continue north of 25A, and it doesn't become some county road or local street. ----

I understand, but that would be better in NY 25A, not here.Mitch32(

Maybe, but it's 110 that crosses 25A, and the fact that it's the last one to do so that makes it unique. If you added this to the 25A article, you'd also have to add the fact that NY 101 is the only north-south road on Long Island to have a southern terminus with 25A, and that NY 108 is the only state highway on Long Island to have a northern terminus with 25A and no southern terminus with any other state highway. Those would be better suited for articles on NY 101 and NY 108 respectivley. The same goes for NY 110. ----

Thanks, y'all. Yesterday I used 110 for part of my 16 miles ride from Pinelawn LIRR station to the Nikon camera repair shop in Melville and then, cameraless, onward to Huntington Station. Not much of that highway, since it has poor provision for slow pedal pushers but the trip was pleasant, especially Sweet Hollow Road. And, as you see, I edited the article to reflect this trivium more clearly.

Any pics of Pinelawn station that we can look forward to? Too bad you couldn't snap any more of Huntington Station, though. ----
