I've always liked Rimrock Rd in Madison and Randall Rd in the Chicago suburbs.
In an unexpected twist, I'll be the first one to reply with something NC-related: Ten-Ten Rd outside Raleigh. Not as smooth as the ones in the OP, but fun to say nonetheless.
Rideout Road in Huntsville, Alabama (which is now a freeway, except on base).
Woodward Avenue in Michigan seems like a no-brainer for this.
Rip Rap Road
Continuing the alliteration theme: Pendleton Pike in Indy.
I saw a Rhodes Road several months ago; I think that was in Alaska.
Achy Breaky Lane, which I saw in a suicide call about 30 years ago.
Ice Cream Alley in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
Aurora Ave is short, memorable, and alliterative. All good qualities.
As for the road itself, it could use some tough love.
I'll cast my vote for:
Terwilliger Blvd ... which rolls off the tongue, once you know how to say it.

Ragged Ass Road in Yellowknife (https://goo.gl/maps/by6w9kkPyM2p3aWt7).
Closer to home, Cavalier Corridor (https://goo.gl/maps/xetz9PptSogEa9W99) in Lake Barcroft and both Dunwich Way (https://goo.gl/maps/4L4oFJQc6BVfGeg36) and Frost Lake Lane (https://goo.gl/maps/ufxd9bxow26R4f2x9) in Kingstowne, all here in Fairfax County. (While that Street View image for Frost Lake also shows a street sign for Wendron Way, I don't think that name has the same "roll-off-the-tongue" quality as Dunwich Way or Frost Lake Lane, but I couldn't really give you a specific reason why not.)

I love the name Ten-Ten Road, too bad there is usually a lot of traffic on it. I also love that it got its name from being secondary road 1010
Staying in Triangle area, US 15/501, called Fifteen-Five-oh-One by locals, also has a nice ring to it.
Garden State Parkway
Dixie Highway
Pretty generic: "The Turnpike" when referring to the Turnpike in one's/that state

I think "Thruway" rolls much better off the tongue. :-P
Valley View Avenue in Leesburg, VA.

Valley View Avenue
I find myself saying Avenue differently when I say this than I would otherwise. More like
aven-eeeew, to rhyme with view.
Over the last twenty years or so, I've taken to just saying "Ave" rather than "Avenue". I think it first started when I was frequently using the Metra station at College Avenue, and a lot of people simply called it the "College Ave" station. I now do so for all sorts of street names.

Massachusetts Avenue, a trendy area just NE of downtown Indy, is commonly referred to "Mass Ave"

I don't think I've ever said "Avenue" with any regularity. It's almost always just "Ave".
In Ontario, "Avenue" is often

Floribraska Ave in Tampa, FL, and Zzyzx Rd in California.
