Wacky road names

Celesialraven · Tue, 28th Feb '06, 12:04am

After reading an article on wacky street names ( here) I got to wondering if any of you out there know of roads that can contend with the top 3 in the list of America's wackiest. Anyway, to help support mass sloth and encourage the lazyness we all so cherish, i posted the full top 10 here.

The complete top 10 list included:

10. Tater Peeler Road in Lebanon, Tenn.

9. The intersection of Count and Basie in Richmond, Va.

8. Shades of Death Road in Warren County, N.J.

7. Unexpected Road in Buena, N.J.

6. Bucket of Blood Street in Holbrook, Ariz.

5. The intersection of Clinton and Fidelity in Houston

4. The intersection of Lonesome and Hardup in Albany, Ga.

3. Farfrompoopen Road in Tennessee (the only road up to Constipation Ridge)

2. Divorce Court in Heather Highlands, Pa.

1. Psycho Path in Traverse City, Mich.

So there you have it. Can any of you top Farfrompoopen Road? Remember, all of these roads actually do exist.

ok, there's a road in California that you pass when you're driving on I-15 that's called Zzyzx Road.
That's the only funny/odd road name that I can think of offhand...

Saber · Tue, 28th Feb '06, 3:28am

On road names... did you know, the most used road name is not 1st street, but 3rd street? How does that happen? Where did all the firsts and second streets go?

Heehee, Pyscho Path.

I think you're a little off there. The most used street name is actually 2nd street, the reason being that though every town has a Main street or 1st street, very few have both.

But every town has a second street.

Farfrompoopen...

Saber · Tue, 28th Feb '06, 3:36am

Pah, Fel, it doesn't matter. 3rd, second, as long as it isn't first, it is interesting

.

Bucket of Blood Stree?!

I'll bet Jason and Freddy live there...

Well, we've got a road named "Eelcoffin Road" here in Denmark. That's odd too, methinks

- moreover the road is located in "Waterloose"; get it? The ''eel coffin'' is in Waterloose

We have a road called 'Tubby Lane' which I found mildly amusing as the mother of a 4 yr old Teletubbies addict

shadow lurker · Wed, 1st Mar '06, 10:40pm

Hehehe, I like the 'Psycho Path'

All I can think of at the moment is Gay St.

reepnorp · Wed, 1st Mar '06, 11:08pm

You really have to wonder what kind of city planner would allow some of these names to be accepted. Sure, they're funny and all, but its just not right for a street name. I mean Shades of Death? What kind of a name is that? Other than hilarious, I mean.

Harbourboy · Thu, 2nd Mar '06, 12:04am

There is a road sign in New Zealand that says "SH 2 Heaven", i.e. State Highway 2 Heaven.

Shell · Sun, 5th Mar '06, 10:03pm

Some proof of the Tubby Lane - ness. I knew I had a file somewhere on this machine!

Mithrantir · Thu, 9th Mar '06, 4:40am

In Athens there is a corner between two streets, which greatly resembles the choice one has in life

The one street is named Gay Street, and the other one is named Straight Street.
Isn't this some god made prank or what

Laiwethel · Thu, 9th Mar '06, 5:27am

Mithrantir: Okay, now I want to know where in Athens that is. I definately want to check it out when I go back there.

Oh, and how about Kingsmount as a road name?

Celesialraven · Thu, 9th Mar '06, 7:07am

In my city we have a Rushholme road... i wonder if many people get speeding tickets?

I'm afraid thats all I can come up with (I actually searched a map of the city and thats the best one i found. What a boring city...)

Arahar · Fri, 10th Mar '06, 4:21am

It's not actually a street name but in the country around my house we have a road called "Duck F**k Road".

That actually reminds me of one we have in Madison. One of the major roads is Mineral Point Road, which becomes Speedway after a 45 degree turn, then Regent Street after a 45 degree turn back at the end. Like this:

On both sides of the few blocks named Speedway is a big graveyard. I look at it as a commentary on the consequences.

My parents have a picture of a street sign from Northern California:

Pig Turd Alley

Jazhara7 · Wed, 3rd May '06, 11:38pm

There's two streets going past the prison in Heidelberg: "Unterer Fauler Pelz" and "Oberer Fauler Pelz". "Upper Sluggard/Sloth-Bear" and "Lower Sluggard/Sloth-Bear".

Also, apparently there's a "Tittentasterstraße" ("Breast-Feeler Street". Though "Titten" can better translated to another word in english, meaning the same as "Female Breast". I think you can guess which one, it's very stimilar to the german word.

) in many towns in northern Germany. It's probably from the homes of the midwifes that controlled the milk flow in the breasts of wet nurses by touching the women's breasts, that were located at those streets.

Daie d'Malkin · Thu, 4th May '06, 12:15am

Never mind the German translation, even TittenTASTER is funny as hell.

I still find it amusing to turn onto "Queens Avenue" in my hometown. The lack of an apostrophe really alters the meaning of the road.

D171087 · Thu, 18th May '06, 3:51pm

we have Sunan Kuning street in Semarang, Indonesia,,, well it can be said by "yellow prophet" in english,, but it's used for prostitution place,,, hahahaha,, a prophet and prostitution,,,

Cúchulainn · Thu, 18th May '06, 4:56pm

We have a place called 'Black Skull'.

Hot tip for you all. Any town in Ireland that has 'bally' means 'place off' eg Ballymena, and 'carrick' mean rock eg Carrickfergus.
