What is the longest street name in your area? When I say street name, I mean don't include the words "road, street parkway" etc. If you could find a sign of it, please post it.

Chancellor Matheson Road is the longest one I can think of. It's difficult fitting it on a street name sign:

Again, if there already exists a thread of this nature, my apologies.

I would be surprised that there isn't a "Rancho Palos Verdes Estates Drive".

Some sections of Californina highways are named for two CHP officers and they usually use their full middle names, so they would each be eight to eleven words in the title, but they are typically only signed once or twice and are not generally used.

VA 312 is signed as both J Clyde Morris Blvd and Avenue Of The Arts

In Wakefield MA - Quannapowitt Park Way (and yes, Park and Way are supposed to be two separate words).

Surely, Webster MA has a street named for Lake Chargoggagoggmanchaugagoggchaubunagungamogg ?

Growing up on Long Island, I often wondered if there was ever a longer street name than Bread and Cheese Hollow Road.

Then, when I moved to Massachusetts in 2000, I found the Old Road to Nine Acre Corner, abbreviated on blade signs to Old Road To 9 A.C.

I was about to post this, then saw you'd already posted it, then saw I posted it in 2015. 

But what I'd like to know is, where is it signed like that?  Not doubting, just curious to see it.  There are several variants, haven't seen that one (nor am I sure if there's an "ORNAC" sign, though I have seen "ORNAC" written).

The link is to a GMSV with a blade sign abbreviated as "Old Road to 9 A.C."
