Funniest street names

[dantheman]

My favorite... the most exciting neighborhood in Saratoga County.

I sometimes wonder how someone who lives on these can take themselves seriously when telling another person their address.

I don't know if it really qualifies as funny, but today when driving back from the Eastern Sierra, I came across "Manzanar Reward Road."

The name makes sense, because Reward is a small community nearby Manzanar. But if you know your history, associating those two words together is... odd.

Somebody has to have mentioned Shreveport's Stoner Avenue.

Searching within a thread searches for all instances in that thread only (elsewhere, it's a maximum of one per thread, but throughout the whole forum). No need to manually look through 34 pages; the word Stoner only returns one result (two once I submit this), and it's yours.

There's also a Stoner Lane in Rogers, AR.

There is also a Stoner Street in Culver City, CA.

Not so much funny, as unusual:  Toh-N-hah, here in Wichita

Gives new meaning to half-ton pickup.

These streets are in a subdivision in Metairie, LA (suburb of New Orleans): Shamrops, Canary Ansas, Cocos Plumosas, Washingtonian, Robeline, and Reclanada.  Apparently they are variations of palm trees, but some of those names for streets are, well, bizarre.  I wonder how many strange misspellings the Postal Service has to deal with.

Capslock Trail in Pendleton, South Carolina.

No Street View to determine the number of upper case letters in the sign.

As I visit my friend in Independence, Missouri, I am amused by the fact the street at the end of his street is R. D. Mize Rd. I don't know who R.D. Mize is, but I worry about our demise.

Blue Ball Road, Elkton, Maryland.

Lake Forest, CA has a whole series of roads named after Sesame Street characters  in the Kimberly Gardens neighborhood.

A huge subdivision in my hometown a decade ago decided to name some of their streets after some rare breeds of horses. Andalusian and Palomino I get. But Trakehner and Hanoverian? They did some deep research.

Pretty funny.

I found a neighborhood in Delaware with streets named after different rocks and minerals. Which would be pretty normal, except three of the streets are "Igneous Rock Road", "Metamorphic Rock Drive", and "Sedimentary Rock Road".

All that's missing is Album-Oriented Rock Road.

The way Cape Girardeau, MO considers Kings Highway as one word Kingshighway.

Napoopoo Road (Hawaii County Route 160) and Pe'epe'e Falls Road got a chuckle out of me on the Hawaiian Big Island.

I think that's a Missouri thing, because St. Louis does it too. Though theirs is Kingshighway Boulevard, oddly enough.

I think you could legitimately go in there, and when they tell you, "Hey, this is only for deliveries," you could say, "Oh, I thought that was just the name of the street."

I had to look that up and ... yikes, that's not much of a reward. A similar two-town-name road is Surprise Result Road, in Greene County, NY. It connects Surprise (a few houses on NY 81) with Result (an even tinier hamlet).

Holy Cow Road, east of Polk City, Florida:

A shoutout has to be given to Smutty Hollow, in Monroe, N.H.
