There is a Climax Ave in Klamath Falls, OR.
After an insanely amount of sign thefts the road department resorted to bolting the sign to the posts vertically. Some are bolted to 4x4's and others are bolted to metal posts.

interesting choice of road names

There are a couple of existing roads in my hometown... I surveyed some lots on them years ago...

Lonesome Road and Hardup Road....

They intersec...

My I-man at the time once said he wanted the corner lot, so he could tell everyone he lived at "lonesome and hardup"... LOL.... 😉


I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...

A subdivision we were working on in Eugene was in an area that had been called "South Park" since the dawn of time. Once the TV show came out someone at the City decided that it was no longer an appropriate name, but they had no issue with one of the roads being named Morningwood Drive.

It seems as though Google has pixelated the sign a bit, but that's "Boner's Run Road" - Virginia Secondary Route 609 in Shawsville, VA. It is also known as "Boney's Run Road", but the sign says "Boner's". Down in the Salem, VA are there is a "Butt Hollow Road" but I can't get a decent Google Street View pic of one of the street signs. I can make out what it says, but it would be difficult for someone that didn't know what they were looking for.

When I worked for the City of West Sacramento I had a coworker who worked for the City of Ukiah in a former job. His favorite Ukiah story was when one of the Water Dept workers came on the City radio and said, "I'm up on Helen and I need a cock!"

Here's one of my favorites. Not as spicy as some of the others but it takes some skill to pronounce.
