Difference between "go" and "go to" in questions
I noticed the following two example sentences given in a dictionary:
1. Where does this road go to?
2. Where does this vase go?
Why is 'go to' used in the first sentence and not the second? What is the difference if we omit 'to' in the first sentence?
1. Where does this road go to?
2. Where does this vase go?
Why is 'go to' used in the first sentence and not the second? What is the difference if we omit 'to' in the first sentence?

1. You can omit 'to' after 'go'. It's a common enough expression even though the road stays in the same place and doesn't actually go anywhere.
