One Street - Two Names. One Name - Three Streets

Whoever came up with this little statement wasn't kidding. And I'm not talking about all the weirdos that live, work and play here but even the city does it's part to help things in Austin make no sense.

Remeber how on my drive home I take Mo-Pac to 183 - or do I take Loop 1 to Reserach Blvd - it's the same thing. Also, if I wanted to detour for a beautiful drive I could go on 360 aka Capital of Texas Highway. 2244/Beecaves could take you back to down town. If I'm driving from work to the airport I can take Ben White which is also 71.
What's going on here Austin?
But don't worry - it gets worse. Why are there three 290s? One is down south and hit's Ben White, I-35 is called 290 for a while before another 290 perpendicular to I-35 takes you out to Houston?

I'm going to start calling everything to opposite name of what I used to call it.
183 -->Reserach Blvd.
Mopac --> Loop 1
360 --> Capital of Texas Highway
Ben White --> 71
Beecaves --> 2244

Over and Out.
