Most of the [[limited-access road|limited-access expressways and parkways]] are in the western and southern sections of Brooklyn, where the borough's two [[Interstate Highway System|interstate highways]] are located; [[Interstate 278]], which uses the [[Gowanus Expressway]] and the [[Brooklyn–Queens Expressway]], traverses [[Sunset Park, Brooklyn|Sunset Park]] and [[Brooklyn Heights]], while [[Interstate 478]] is an unsigned route designation for the [[Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel]], which connects to Manhattan.<ref>Shilling, Erik (January 1, 2018) [https://jalopnik.com/all-52-highways-and-parkways-in-the-new-york-city-a-1821506061 "All (?) 52 Highways and Parkways in the New York City Area, Ranked"], ''Jalopnik''. Retrieved February 17, 2020.</ref> Other prominent roadways are the [[Prospect Expressway]] ([[New York State Route 27]]), the [[Belt Parkway]], and the [[Jackie Robinson Parkway]] (formerly the Interborough Parkway). Planned expressways that were never built include the Bushwick Expressway, an extension of [[I-78]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nycroads.com/roads/bushwick/ |title=Bushwick Expressway (I-78, unbuilt) |publisher=Nycroads.com |access-date=October 24, 2010}}</ref> and the Cross-Brooklyn Expressway, I-878.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nycroads.com/roads/cross-brooklyn/ |title=Cross Brooklyn Expressway (I-878, unbuilt) |publisher=Nycroads.com |access-date=October 24, 2010}}</ref> Major thoroughfares include [[Atlantic Avenue (New York City)|Atlantic Avenue]], [[Fourth Avenue (Brooklyn)|Fourth Avenue]], 86th Street, [[Kings Highway (Brooklyn)|Kings Highway]], [[Bay Parkway (Brooklyn)|Bay Parkway]], [[Ocean Parkway (Brooklyn)|Ocean Parkway]], [[Eastern Parkway]], [[Linden Boulevard]], [[McGuinness Boulevard]], [[Flatbush Avenue]], [[Pennsylvania Avenue (Brooklyn)|Pennsylvania Avenue]], and [[Nostrand Avenue]].

Much of Brooklyn has only named streets, but [[Park Slope]], [[Bay Ridge]], Sunset Park, [[Bensonhurst]], and [[Borough Park, Brooklyn|Borough Park]] and the other western sections have [[List of numbered Brooklyn streets|numbered streets]] running approximately northwest to southeast, and numbered avenues going approximately northeast to southwest. East of Dahill Road, lettered avenues (like Avenue M) run east and west, and numbered streets have the prefix "East". South of Avenue O, related numbered streets west of Dahill Road use the "West" designation. This set of numbered streets ranges from West 37th Street to East 108 Street, and the avenues range from A–Z with names substituted for some of them in some neighborhoods (notably Albemarle, Beverley, Cortelyou, Dorchester, Ditmas, Foster, Farragut, Glenwood, Quentin). Numbered streets prefixed by "North" and "South" in Williamsburg, and "Bay", "Beach", "Brighton", "Plumb", "Paerdegat" or "Flatlands" along the southern and southwestern waterfront are loosely based on the old grids of the original towns of Kings County that eventually consolidated to form Brooklyn. These names often reflect the bodies of water or beaches around them, such as [[Plumb Beach]] or [[Paerdegat Basin]].

Brooklyn is connected to Manhattan by three bridges, the [[Brooklyn Bridge|Brooklyn]], [[Manhattan Bridge|Manhattan]], and [[Williamsburg Bridge]]; a vehicular tunnel, the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel (also known as the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel); and several subway tunnels. The [[Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge]] links Brooklyn with the more suburban borough of [[Staten Island]]. Though much of its border is on land, Brooklyn shares several water crossings with [[Queens]], including the [[Pulaski Bridge]], the [[Greenpoint Avenue Bridge]], the [[Kosciuszko Bridge]] (part of the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway), and the [[Grand Street Bridge]], all of which carry traffic over [[Newtown Creek]], and the [[Marine Parkway Bridge]] connecting Brooklyn to the [[Rockaway Peninsula]].
