Washtenaw Avenue (M-17) is the primary road link between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. We'll start from where Huron Street (Ann Arbor) takes a wide sweeping curve to the southeast, and we'll end up in Ypsilanti. Over the course of this journey Washtenaw will pass both UM's and EMU's campuses, and range from a five lane river of traffic passing through urban sprawl to a one way residential street, before dead ending at Huron Street (Ypsilanti).
M-17 leaves Washtenaw at Hamilton Street, cutting south to Michigan Avenue.

At this awkward X-intersection, Washtenaw becomes one-way, east-bound; Cross is one-way, westbound, until it hits Washtenaw. This intersection, and surrounding one-way streets, helps many get lost in Ypsi.
