I know we have discussed odd road names and how they came about if known. My new favorite, a rather suggestive road name is from Ottawa County, Ohio. I can picture a conversation where I tell my address and get funny looks: Lickert Harder Road. ---

There’s a little dirt road on the Long Beach Peninsula (Washington) called Busted Axle Lane. ---

There is a cross road up a major highway from where I live called Forni Rd. I always wanted there to be a caterer located on that road that included the name in their business. ---

I came across “Back to Sodom Road” in upstate NY.

In Louisville there is Penile Road. It’s named for the community named Penile. This includes Penile Baptist Church and Penile Cemetery. Apparently it’s not pronounced the way it looks. ---

Speaking of which, between Chuluota and Oveido in Florida lies Taintsville. Not named after the perineum, but for the same reason, because it tain’t Chuluota and it tain’t Oveido. Unfortunately there isn’t a “Taintsville Road” that goes to it, but there is apparently one near the Wisconsin Dells according to Google Maps. ---

I literally grew up in a house on Easy St. And no it was not named for my youthful exuberance. And i currently have a friend in another state that is living on Arabians Quirt. She always was a juicy gal. ---

There’s a Barking Dog Rd in the County I work for. They where going to rename a lot of roads in the county I live due to duplicates. Subdivision where to have a theme. Ours was going to be birds. I was going to suggest Chicken Crossing RD. Or Loon Ln. It never came about. Change one road name is quite a task (I know) changing a lot of them? No thanks. ---

When I was about 19 I was on a long road trip in the Australian outback and (as I recalled it later) came across Dead Bird Lead Creek. It lived on in my mind as one of the silliest names I’d ever heard. But over the decades I became slighly skeptical about my own memory. Then, earlier this year, I was on another long road trip and came across none other than Dead Bird Lead Creek, exactly as I remembered. ---

There’s Butt Hollow Road in Salem, VA. There used to be a sign for it where I-81 passes over it, but I assume it kept being stolen. It now just has the state route number. ---

There was a relatively inoffensive Dyke Lane near my house growing up, but it must have offended someone, because it is was renamed to the definitely less offensive Dunn Lane now. ---

Ragged Ass Road, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. It has its own Wikipedia article: > **[Ragged Ass Road (Yellowknife)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragged_Ass_Road_(street))** > > Ragged Ass Road is a short unpaved residential street in the Old Town section of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Its name started as a joke in 1970 by resident Lou Rocher, who owned much of the property along it at the time, and his friends. At the time the street had been known as "Privy Road" due to the large number of outhouses along it. When a difficult prospecting season yielded little income, convincing residents that they were "ragged ass broke", they decided that that should b... I’ve walked it.
