Street Road is one of many Street Roads, and this one is in Doylestown, PA.

Huh, I never knew about that Street Road. Most of it even runs parallel to the "main" Street Road, albeit miles away.
Mileage-based exit numbering implies the existence of mileage-cringe exit numbering.

Little Guano Road in Red House, West Virginia:



And a numbered highway, to boot!

Parking spaces and indoor shopping mall mile markers are about the only things not maintained by WVDOT.

True, but many of them don't get nice green signs with route shields on them...

Wouldn't be surprised that the locals on that road call it by what it was meant to be called:  Little $*it Road.

Well, did you happen to stroll down it? :bigass:
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

John doe street in Clovis, New Mexico. That is an odd street name though.

That house looks like a place where you might find John Doe in a pool of his own blood.

Sightly off-topic, No. 10 is (was) actually in Spain, which as far as I know doesn't speak English :sombrero:: https://www.google.es/maps/@37.1800728,-3.5884207,3a,26.4y,298.52h,90.07t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s8n65u3hPYacUzIh0SlRaVQ!2e0!5s20090201T000000!7i13312!8i6656

By 2013 it was replaced with a couple of no entry signs, but as of 2016 the "physically impossible entry" sign has been restored, and the restriction is now a foot wider (6 ft vs 5 ft in 2009). It is now accompanied by its Spanish sister in the other side of the gate: https://www.google.es/maps/@37.180051,-3.588397,3a,75y,268.08h,85.48t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sfaSvE-sMd0cuDwOAyKq6-w!2e0!5s20160601T000000!7i13312!8i6656

However the Street View car has managed to go through that street, so it's not much of a "physically impossible entry". Here is the narrowest section, only 6 ft wide!
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

It's funny to see the lady at house #67 a few doors down is leaving her house just as the Google car is squeezing through that street. That is insanely narrow :-o

It had to be a micro car or something going through there.  Too bad you really can't see anything by pointing directly downward, on some of the older images you could make out the vehicle.

I'm trying to figure out why they would have an English-language sign in Spain like that.  Any thoughts?

Yeah, I assumed it was probably the tricycle, or even a backpack rig.

Parkway blvd in Dixon, CA.

Pretty odd though for a name.

There are also a couple of streets with that name in Appleton, WI, in addition to more than one Broadway Drive.
