State Route 388

State Route 388 (SR 388) is a four-lane divided highway in Shelby County, Tennessee. The route connects the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis with Northaven and Shelby Forest. The entire route is known locally as North Watkins Street. Although Watkins Street begins at Union Avenue in Memphis and passes through North Memphis and the Frayser neighborhood, the state route designation begins at the intersection of Watkins Street and Thomas Street (US 51/SR 3). Continuing north, SR 388 crosses over the Loosahatchie River; this is the last crossing before the river empties into the Mississippi River. After this crossing, SR 388 passes to the east of the Northaven community. Continuing northward, SR 388 abruptly ends at the two-lane Locke–Cuba Road. By turning onto this road, one can get to the Shelby Forest community and Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park.​
