Well, of course, in Atlanta there are several roads with the word "Peachtree" in it.

Examples:

Peachtree Street
Peachtree Road
Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
Peachtree Parkway
West Peachtree Street
Peachtree Battle Avenue
Peachtree Memorial Drive
Old Peachtree Road
Peachtree Place

Those are the only ones that I can think of off of the top of my head.


Be well,

Here in Houston, all in the same area, we have North Post Oak Road, South Post Oak Lane, North Post Oak Lane, Post Oak Blvd, and South Post Oak Road... all in the Uptown Area.  None of these streets intersect each other.  N Post Oak runs from Hempstead to end at the West Loop frontage road, the two Lanes are smaller side streets, Post Oak Blvd runs from a dead end near some high rises to end at Westpark Drive/Tollway, and S Post Oak Lane begins at the curve where the West Loop becomes the south Loop and heads south to a very... not so nice area of town

Storage Tek Dr & Tape Dr in Louisville, CO

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Storage+Tek+Drive+%26+Tape+Drive,+Broomfield,+CO&hl=en&ll=39.940722,-105.127879&spn=0.003315,0.004951&sll=39.940921,-105.127766&sspn=0.000835,0.001749&hnear=Storage+Tek+Dr+%26+Tape+Dr,+Louisville,+Boulder,+Colorado+80027&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=39.94089,-105.127601&panoid=acpCOHpnMnpLC7LPGr7LwA&cbp=12,346.61,,0,-18.14

Just west of here, on the (former) StorageTek property, there is an intersection of Tape Dr & Disc Dr, also a Quality 1st Ave, which intersects both Drives. I'm sure the names will be changed whenever that property gets redeveloped.

Witchduck Road in Virginia Beach, Va.

An explanation of the name can be found here.

[roadman65]

The Yankee Division Highway for the I-95/ MA 128 overlap in MA?  Its a cool sounding name, that was after the 26th infantry.
Storm King Highway in Orange County, NY for NY 218 has a nice ring to it. 
Stinking Creek Road located off of I-75 just a few miles south of the KY Border in TN.

Fortification Street in Jackson, Miss.
Pass and Teagarden roads in Gulfport, Miss.

Saw a Bacon Switch Road north of Wichita Falls. It has an exit off I-44.

Grover, North Carolina has both a Darth Maul Drive and a Yoda Drive.

Winston-Salem has a 4½th Street:

Country roads in West Virginia are great for this kind of thing:

Pinchgut Hollow Road in Fairmont (I don't even want to know the story behind this one, even if my friend does live off this road)
Hoot and Holler Road near French Creek (Not making this up!)
Cow Run Road in Rock Cave
Getout Run Road in French Creek
Lick Run Road in Buckhannon (probably named after a stream or something, but definitely not what I think of when I am on this road)
Gnatty Creek Road north of Buckhannon

Obviously, many roads in the area are of the "X Run Road" type, and the Upshur County 911 mapping/addressing ordinance (which I read, of course) was supposed to minimize these, but doesn't look like it happened.

Virginia Beach has a 24 1/2 St and Hopewell, VA has a 3 1/2 Ave.

San Leon, TX has you beat with "Avenue F 1/2".

In upper Baltimore County MD there used to be an intersection of Mt Carmel Rd and Mt Carmel Rd.  Of course Mt Carmel Church was on one corner. Sometime about 1970 one of the Mt Carmel rds was changed to Prettyboy Dam Rd.  In the the same area there is a Yeoho Rd

now that sounds like a town meeting I'd have wanted to attend.

there is a Molly's Nipple Rd. off US-89 in Montana.  No idea how private it is.

I once witnessed a car wreck on the outskirts of Johnston City, Illinois.  I called 9-1-1, and stated that I was on Johnston City Road.  The dispatcher said, "Which one?"  You see, in southern Illinois, a road to ABCD town is called ABCD Blacktop or ABCD Road, even if that's not its official name.  As a matter of fact, I was actually on what is officially Corinth Road, but it was called Johnston City Road back where I had turned onto it from Harco Road.  So I just replied, "The one coming in from Harco Road", and they sent an officer out.  Why can't we just use highway numbers for minor roads?

Prettyboy Reservoir is part of the Baltimore Municipal Water System.  The road goes across the crest of the dam.  The part that was renamed joins the  original  Prettyboy Dam Rd  at an intersection about a mile from the dam.

Grover, North Carolina has both a Darth Maul Drive and a Yoda Drive.

Winston-Salem has a 4½th Street:

The Minneapolis numbered street system appends 1/2 for in-between streets. I believe there's a 25-1/2 St. exit off MN-100 in St. Louis Park. I've never seen any other fraction used. The Avenue F-1/2 example cited above is used in Mesa County (around Grand Junction), CO, where each E-W section line road is Road [X] and there are fractional roads in between (a quick look at Google Maps shows an F-1/4 Road just north of which is F-3/10).

Hull Street Road in the Richmond, VA area.

We also have Cary Street Road and Broad Street Road.

One time going to some sort of museum out that way (if not Minnesota, a neighboring state) put me on 24 1/8 Rd or something similar. I think we got a photo of the street sign - one of those old-timey print photos tucked away in an album.

Well, in southern Wake Co., NC there is a Rock Service Station Road. There is indeed a service station at the end of it but it isn't built out of rock. Another local road name I like is Six Forks Road. Away from here, I like MacDonald-Cartier Freeway in Ontario (highway 401). At one time there were shields on that route with "M-C" in place of the number. I think these are gone now (?) If so, I wish they would come back.

Another one in Arizona that crosses I-10 about 80 miles west of Phoenix, but there are no exits: Sore Finger Road.
