Ohio State Route 252 is a north-south highway in areas west and southwest of Cleveland. The northern end occurs at US Route 6 in Bay Village. From there, Ohio Route 252 heads south through an interchange with Interstate 90 (and Ohio Route 2). As the route gets beyond Olmsted Falls, it becomes more rural in nature. Travelers reaching the southern end are bound for Medina, but they have to merge onto Ohio Route 18 southeast to get into town. The southernmost extent is concurrent with Ohio Route 57, which joins Ohio Route 18 easterly.
