Hi all,
 
From another list, this question has been posed.  I don't remember discussing it here.  Anyone know the answer?  :)
 
Thanks,

Subject: [roadgeek] 5-county points?

Since multi-county points are still fair game for discussion, does anyone
know if there are any 5-county points in the US (or anywhere else)?
6-or-higher county points?

Somewhat related: Raleigh has an intersection called "Five Points", but
there are really Six directions one can go -- either way on Glenwood Avenue
(a.k.a. US-70), either way on Fairview Road, and one "point" each for
Whitaker Mill Road, and Glenn Avenue..  On the other side of the coin,
Raleigh also has a road called "Six Forks Road", named originally after the
crossroads of Six Forks, now part of north Raleigh.  But try as I may, I can
only count Five Forks at that location -- either way on Six Forks, either
way on Strickland Road, and one "prong" for Baileywick Road (which is really
even a separate intersection, though it may have been different long ago),
A subdivision off of Six Forks Road, but not near old Six Forks itself, has
two streets that play on that road's name -- they have Six Spoons and Six
Knives Roads -- really just short cul-de-sacs.
