If a road name has the word "Grade" in it, does that mean steep road?

If you mean where it specifies 4 or 5 or 6% grade, personally I don't have any rules between them. They all mean steep grade.

Just in my experience there are some less steep grades (but are long) that look deceptively benign and you dont realize until the truck keeps going faster and faster and faster... finally you are sitting up in your seat thinking... "wait a minute?"

The obvious grades are... well... obvious, and you are ready for them.

It means that the road is finished and graded, the term started to be used in the late 19th century when most roads were either dirt which turned into mud or plank roads which normally were toll roads. When they started to put a base and using gravel, this became a graded or "smooth" road.

 

That road would be named it Getinpipped If it was Frisco.

Had a guy in charge of street names in Custer County, SD.
His wife's name was Lois Lane. He insisted on naming some street or road: Lois Lane. When I ran into it. It had been changed 8 times. This was the ninth. The guy had retired.
Can you believe? Dish Network is so stupidly anal. They flat out refused to believe this woman's street name was changed. They demanded she moved. But they couldn't explain how she moved to a house with the exact same five digit address.

 

Harpster Grade in Idaho is a decent little hill to drop down. Has some 20 and 25mph switchbacks and if you miss the last corner at the bottom it will dump you into the river.
