Using the google maps API is there a way to programmatically find the nearest cross streets, given a particular street address?

Finding Intersections To find the intersection between two roads, insert an ampersand ("&") between the two street names. Search for "Broadway & E 14th St, New York, NY" to find the intersection between Broadway and East 14th Street in New York, for example.
The address of a building can tell you what avenues it's between. For addresses on the the west side, just add the first number of the address (zero if the address is only two numbers) to 5 for the lower cross street. For example, 225 W 37th St. (2+5=7) is between Seventh and Eighth Avenue.
What is the nearest street that crosses that street. That is a “cross street.” So if you live on Front street, and the nearest street to your house or apartment that crosses Front street is Main street, Main street is the nearest cross street.
A cross street is not necessary, but it helps the driver locate you. It is the street that runs across the one you live on.
Unfortunately the Google Maps API does not provide methods to find the nearest intersection from a particular street address or coordinate. You may want to check the following posts for further reading:
