What are some of the most funny or unusual named streets where you live?
In Gillsville Georgia there is a road named Peckerwood Road.
Also in Hall County Georgia there is a Cash Road and next to it is Credit Road.

Where I live the roads don't even have a name yet. :D

Edit: Sweden does, the town where I live doesn't.
 
My uncle lives on Trout lane which is off of Bass highway, not too unusual since he lives next to a lake.
I used to live on a "Bourbon st." which isn't unusual either, except that it was in a "dry" (no alchohol sold) county, it was down the road a bit from Muddy Ford road.
 
we have a small village over here called "piddle in the hole"
 
most five points or other numbered points I've found came about from that many roads, streets or paths coming together at one spot. siegfried schlagrule
 
Cash + Credit those are good AU :laughing7:
I know 2 that you might like Schuylkill Co. Builtwell Rd. ( it's a dirt road )
Berks Co. Justa Rd.

There are so many more out there but, i always think about these two

Hey Scott, I reckon you would know about little five points, don't ya? I've always wondered how that name come about.

Five Forks Trickum Road in Lawrenceville, GA.
I always thought that there's so many roads coming and going, it tricks um.
Maybe during the civil war someone told the Yankees to go down the wrong road and thus tricked em.

In the 1970s there was a cul-de-sac built off of Lombard Street in Beaverton to house Vietnam immigrants.
Nice duplexes, maybe a dozen or so.
Their road was in the middle of the block between me and the local grocery so I saw them often.
I do not speak Vietnamese but expressed my concern when a Grandma taught a small child to use the curb as a restroom.
I guess that is/was normal there. Also dogs were not safe to be outside unwatched.
The name of the street is "Why Worry Lane".
The Asians have such a nice way with words.
 
ok... i just read that
"second st" is the number one street name in the US!
weird it wasnt "first st" or "main st" ?
 
Being originally from Tennessee, I thought it was humorous when Trivial pursuit had this question. What state has towns named Lickskillit, Frog Jump, and Sweet lips? Having played in a pool Tournament in the almost non existant town of Sweet Lips Tennessee the question tickled my funny bone. Oh yeah I got the question right. Regardless, the name of the road leading out into what looks like nowhere ,where the town is, of course is called ... Sweet Lips Rd. :D

That one is near my stomping grounds too, just east of the Tennessee River on I 40. Funny! I forgot about Buck Snort.
