Funniest street names

It's definitely vandalism. OpenStreetMap shows "Let's Get Drunk" as part of Sanctuary Lakes Drive, while "Rob Me Blind" is unnamed.

I just realized Big Beaver Road is exit 69 off I-75 in Troy, MI. There are no accidents.

Yes, my Dad thought that was hilarious every time we picked my half brother up on weekends back in the 1980s.

Cross-posting from the "Random Thoughts" thread:

I always get a chuckle whenever I drive by this trailer park.  The term caudillo means, roughly, a military dictator.  Why someone thought that would be a great name for a neighborhood, I don't know.

Here's one worse (it's a street name, though, not a neighborhood).

One time in middle school, we had to create a fictional neighborhood for a project of some sort, and I picked a few random street names to use, this one among them. So of course, the teacher said "Um, you may want to pick another name"... so of course I looked it up the next chance I got, and was quite surprised and amused with my findings... LOL!!

I found Peace & Quiet Road out in the very-much peace and quiet of northwestern Illinois along IL-73 last weekend. I managed to snap a photo but the glare didn't help.

Oh, I so much wanted there to be a BK on that street.

[TheRhodeGeek]

There's a street in a town in my home state named Stub Toe Ln. It may not as funny as others on this page, but it's something.

Euskaldun Kalea, Buffalo, WY

Here

Large Basque population out there.

[CNGL-Leudimin]

That sounds Northwest from me, but not that far Northwest (eventually turning Southwest due to Earth's shape).

Also, I see Mr. Google is redundantly calling it "Basque-speaking Street Street". The blade is correct.

In Ocala, FL there is a street named Easy Street.  Obviously to encourage over achievement lol

Yeah, there are examples of Easy Street all over the place.

Or a slight variant, Hard Road, which can be taken literally in a few different ways:

1) Hard to get to (no direct access to NY 104 to/from the east, requires using the service road)
2) Hard to drive due to poor pavement quality and/or ongoing construction (see here)
3) Hard to drive due to overcapacity and poorly timed signals (see here; you know it's bad when thru traffic defaults to the parallel road through the plaza)

I've also heard the term 'hard road' as simply a way of describing a paved road.  That is, one that isn't gravel (which is softer).  For example, the first time I had to get from Norris City to Akin (Illinois) as part of my delivery route, I misinterpreted one step of the directions someone had given me, so I ended up getting lost on the gravel roads of southwestern Hamilton County.  I had a trainee with me that day, and he expressed relief once we finally "got back on the hard roads", which in the moment simply meant an asphalt county road.

How about one set of parallel roads, Homer Ave & Simpson Ave in Cincinnati. Also, an intersection of Dean Rd & Winchester Rd in East Lyme, CT

There's "No Name" street in Sallisaw, OK

I recently learned there is an intersection between Roger St and Moore Ave in Kitchener, Ontario.

This intersection in Chicago gives off Christmas Vacation vibes, because there's a scene where Clark asks Aunt Bethany to bless the family dinner, and she replies: "Grace? She passed away 30 years ago!" If you saw the movie, you'll get the reference.

That link goes to a map of about 7 mi² of Chicago's north side.
