Route 114A (Rhode Island–Massachusetts) Island, where it ends back at Route 114, which is overlapped with U.S. Route 1A (US 1A) at this point in East Providence. This is the only instance in Massachusetts of an "A" or "alternate" route carrying the numerics for a highway signed in another state, as Massachusetts Route 114 is over away, running between Lawrence and Marblehead. Three other such instances of this exist in New England. One is in New Hampshire, where New Hampshire Route 113B is actually a loop off Maine State Route 113. The other two are in Vermont, where Vermont Route 10A is a continuation
New England state to state, primarily due to settlers throughout the region having named their new towns after their old ones. For example, the town of North Yarmouth, Maine was named by settlers from Yarmouth, Massachusetts, which was in turn named for Great Yarmouth in England. As another example, every New England state has a town named Warren, and every state except Rhode Island has a city or town named Andover, Bridgewater, Chester, Franklin, Manchester, Plymouth, Washington, and Windsor; in addition, every state except Connecticut has a Lincoln and a Richmond, and Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine each contains a Franklin County.
