'''State Route&nbsp;252''' ('''SR&nbsp;252''') is a {{convert|23.04|mi|km|adj=on}} long north&ndash;south state highway in the northern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of this state route is at a signalized intersection that marks the western split of the concurrency of SR&nbsp;18 and SR&nbsp;57 nearly {{convert|1.25|mi|km}} northwest of the city limits of Medina. SR&nbsp;252 has its northern terminus at a T-intersection with U.S. Route 6 (US&nbsp;6) in the western Cleveland suburb of Bay Village.
