Rhode Island Avenue (Washington, D.C.)

Rhode Island Avenue is a diagonal avenue in the Northwest and Northeast quadrants of Washington, D.C. and the capital's inner suburbs in Prince George's County, Maryland. Paralleling New York Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue was one of the original streets in Pierre L'Enfant's plan for the capital. Today it is a major commuter route, carrying U.S. Route 1 traffic into the city from Prince George's County. In 1926, Rhode Island Avenue was extended from the District line through Mount Rainier, Brentwood, and North Brentwood.
