Google Maps, local.live.com and Mapquest all have the bit of Conshohoken Ave. between US1 and Belmont Ave. marked as 23 (zoom all the way in). Yahoo maps apears to be using the same map engine as Google. If you look at topozone.com, part of Belmont Ave. is marked as 23 as well. The topozone marking for 23 along Belmont is in purple, indicating a "recent" addition. However, this PennDoT map (LARGE PDF) draws that road section as a "City Street" (grey), not state (red). You'd think the latter would be authoritative ... . I don't quite live close enough to drive down and look at signage on the ground, as it were, maybe there's still a "23 End" sign. -- J Clear 00:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
There are some state routes that are posted within Philadelphia. I can think of 3,63,73,291,309,611, with 309 and 611 keeping old US route numbers. (And what route number is found on Bustleton Avenue?) 23, however, does terminate right at US 1, which is there running on the Philadelphia border. Carlm0404 ( talk) 21:01, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
By the way, US 422 used to enter Philadelphia on Germantown Avenue, but now continues on freeway from Pottstown and ends at King of Prussia, and is gone from Philadelphia. Long ago, PA 43 ran on the Schuylkill Expressway, which after a few iterations is now part of I-76. Carlm0404 ( talk) 21:08, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Notice that eastbound 23 turns onto brief wrong-way concurrency with US 30. At the point of that turn, we'd see a stub straight ahead, and I just learned that this was to be the start of what is now Goat Path because the road that was to go there was never built.
I have just followed 23 in the opposite direction in that area. Carlm0404 ( talk) 20:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
