Also, due to the short history of service its crossings are not called 'Kawabata-Sanjo,' 'Kawabata-Shijo' or 'Kawabata Shichijo' in the same way as those of other streets, but instead they are commonly called by the bridge names 'Sanjo-ohashi,' 'Shijo-ohashi,' 'Gojo-ohashi' and 'Shichijo-ohashi.'
また、道路開通から浅いため、他の京都の交差点のように｢川端三条｣、｢川端四条｣、｢川端五条｣、｢川端七条｣とは呼ばず、｢三条大橋｣、｢四条大橋｣、｢五条大橋｣、｢七条大橋｣と橋の名前で呼ばれる場合が多い。
