World’s Most Awful Street Names

By Alex in Travel on Jan 26, 2009 at 3:22 am

If you think that living in Penistone is tough, imagine if you live on a street named Butts Wynd (yes, a real one in St. Andrews, Scotland) or Dingleberry Road (in Iowa City, Iowa). This one to the left, Psycho Path (someone has a sense of humor) is in Traverse City, Michigan.

Baierman of YesButNoButYes blog has compiled some of the most awful street names in the world: Link – via Rue The Day

    Someone I know got hassled by the caps when asked where he lives…”Eppalong Rd in The Gap”.

    I’m very familiar with Butts Wynd in St Andrews, which is also home to Doubledykes Road (dyke being a wall in Scots).

    But nothing beats Hammerman’s Entry in Edinburgh, I reckon.

    There are a couple of weird street names in Austin, TX. Two I can remember off the top of my head: Slaughter Lane, and Convict Hill.

    Not the worst, but very funny. In Houston, TX there is an intersection of Clinton Drive and Fidelity Road. A more unlikely combination of words it is hard to imagine.

    We have a church near where I live that is the sole resident of Boogertop Hill Rd.

    Oh and I almost forgot we have two small towns near me called Twixt and Between.

    A friend lives on a street called Lois Lane. It’s easy to find; just go up Chuck Road ’til you have to turn.

    Haha – there is a Lois Lane where I live as well.

    In the town I went to college in there was a Gay St, I’m sure when it was named that they were going for Happy.
    There’s also a Holden st that intersects Gay. (snicker)

    There is also this lovely Gem in Mo.
