There is a street somewhere here in the Austin area called Nameless Road. I guess they couldn't think of anything to name it. :-[

That's how Nome, Alaska got its name. A cartographer wrote "Name?" for a village on a draft map and when it went to press it came out Nome.

We have a Street Road nearby.

just outside glenwood springs, co is a tiny town called no name.

Colorado Springs has a road named Ampersand - that's the name for the "&" sign. We also have several roads named Red Onion (Way, Drive, Court etc.)

Security, Colorado has a "Lois Lane"

Many people wonder about Colorado Spring's "Purgatory Drive" and don't realize that it is in a section that uses Colorado Ski slope names for road names.

Holy Mackeral Drive Pine Island Florida

I've always wondered how they (I guess city officials/developers) come up with names for streets. I haven't personally come across interesting/strange names; mostly elm (and other tree) streets and more recently names with "shire" attached.

I heard part of an npr program a couple of weeks ago about a Canadian map company that produces assorted fun maps showing towns/provinces with names that are out of the ordinary or follow a theme. Some were named after body parts.

Here in Baton Rouge, I always smile when I pass the street sign, "Plum Broque".

Happy Mardi Gras! We're heading down to New Orleans this afternoon. Can't wait! This year..Bacchus followed by Endymion. Wow!

"Oh my God Road" - a very aptly named stretch of barely improved road along the ridge lines between Idaho Springs and Central City, CO.

In Warren County NC, Beef Tongue Road.

Lake Jackson, Texas, has streets called This Way and That Way, and I believe they intersect in the downtown area.

There's HelluvaHill Road in Delaware County PA

I stopped at the intersection of Clark & Kent streets this past week.

These streets are in a very, very old section of the city and I suspect they were named before Superman!

Speaking of Clark and Kent, Lois Lane is a cute little area in Bonita Springs, Florida.

My brother married a girl who lived on Chicken Bristle Road in Ohio, which I thought was the ugliest name for a road ever, and I never did figure out how to make a chicken bristle.

Coon Ridge Road in PA

Hogwarts Circle in Sonoma COunty.

R5

Yubinaranda Circle in Cary, NC.

My bus stop in NJ, was Old Cow Pasture Lane...(there was no pasture anywhere near the road!)

That Road south of Bloomington, IN

Timber Doodle Drive (what?!?) in St. Cloud, MN.

Tyman Place (say it out loud) in Faribault, MN.

There is a residential street in Madison, Wisconsin called Togstead Glen. It always piqued my interest as a kid because it sounded like something out of The Hobbit.

Not a street in South Carolina, but a sign that points to Clinton in one direction, and Prosperity in the other direction (two small towns).

Nothing like a drive down "Back Nippen Road" In Buxton,ME

How about The Shambles and WhipmaWhopma Gate in York, UK?

We have a road in Baldwinsville NY called Dinglehole Road. :-)

In Chapel Hill, NC there is Smith Level Road. It's a very hilly road.

Durham, NC has WaWa Street.

It might be in Raleigh or Cary or Apex: Toesnot pronunced Toes-not.

Driving on highway 49 in Randolph County NC there is a sign for "Complex" and underneath the name is "Unincorporated" I have a good laugh because I see it as it was too complex to incorporate Complex.

Pig Turd Alley in Sutter Creek, California

Annikany- I know that road! (I'm from North Syracuse originally)

There's a road near Danielsville, GA called " Booger Hill Road" I kid you not!
There's also a town somewhere near aAthens, GA called "Jot 'em Down Road"

mrsd2fan - You can't forget a road like that :-) It's where we pick blueberries oddly enough.
I knew you were from this area from some of your other responses. You also like riding Harleys? (My husband and I both ride Harleys). Maybe you were on tour when you found Dinglehole Road. :-) It's good riding country.

I love the intersection of Hoes Lane and Old Hoes Lane in Piscataway, NJ -- nothing like a little variety! ;)

annikany- you have a good memory. My hubby played on a dart league in B'ville and we had a camp on Cross Lake...

Is anyone aware that the aforementioned Kitchen Dick Road has an intersection with Woodcock Rd?
