Dr. Martin Luther King Drive is a recently renamed roadway connecting the western part of Allentown, PA with the area just east of downtown. It runs along the southern edge of the main portion of Allentown and used to be called Lawrence Street. It is a great shortcut in that it has only 4 traffic lights its entire length (compared to the 15-20 in comparably oriented roadways). The signage for the road is poor, so in addition to the couple roadsigns I could find near the Allentown YMCA I am including a picture of a local municipal recycling center sign that shows the street address.
