I'll go first...

"Total Wreck Lane"

It's the address of one of our customers. If she's on the forum and reading this... then I have to say that we're not making FUN of it, but it did make us laugh. Something about the mental images it conjures up...

Oh, yeah - Fresno California has the same streets. To get to north Fresno street, you would have to drive south on fresno - if I remember correctly!

I remember the signs for Stinking Creek Road in Arizona. Not sure I would want to live there. There is the corner of Brewery and Tavern Streets in New Harmony, IN.

I don't know any strange street names, but driving to the Outer Banks, we drive through a little town named Lizard Lick.

Possom Hollow Road, in Gray, TN
Frog Level Road, is just up from.....

yep, Possom Hollow Road.

Booger Hollow Road, (TN)

Next door to us (up over the hill) is Spider Barns Road!

My sister once lived on Chipmunk Lane in PA

The Road to Nowhere, in PA ( Now it goes somewhere)

Just to name a few at the moment.

My mother named the street we lived on. For years it was "Fairview Lake Road". (Because up the road was Fairview Lake). Then the state came by and said, "That's not the name of the street!" They renamed it to the route number! :(

In Grand Junction Colorado, they number some of the streets by how far they are from the Utah border. You see streets named like 11 7/8 or 17 1/2. I couldn't figure it out I had to ask someone at the motel.

Near my home we have a street called "Jackass Hill". When a church built on it they didn't like the name and had to petition the city to allow them to use the name of a side street instead.

South of Albuquerque we had a street named Poco Loco. Translated it means a little crazy. It was the steepest street I have ever seen outside of San Francisco.
