I was sure there's a thread on this, but I couldn't find it. Anywho, here's a road I found near Murphy Lake, Saskatchewan on this weekend's trip to a buddy's cabin:

That's a pretty cool one...I don't have picture of it, but somewhere up near Knoxville, TN, there is a Booger Branch Road. There's an address for you.

The strangest road I have ever heard is one that is about 10 miles away from me called ""Jot Em Down Road"

I have one North of me that is an intersection at "Tight Squeeze" and "Loose Grip" roads......

On I75 in Ohio are plenty of signs for Needmore Road.

Apparently they ran out of blacktop?
#7
I know a guy named Harry Dyck who lives on Butt Road. Does that count?
#8
Big Beaver Road...exit 69 off of I75 in Troy, MI.

100% true.

Easy Street was in my hometown. Small little lane.

I think it was Globe Az.... New street


Guess no one could agree on a name soooo.... :laughing6-hehe:

My local favorite is "Coyote Trail" . And it looks just like it sounds. Even has its' own Corkscrew!

A few years ago, we found the the "Duck Nest Motorway" on a map, where it looks like a somewhat twisty road going into Cheaha State Park, in Alabama. So we thought we'd take our Honda Civic (with bicycle rack on the back) that way to the park.

Once we got on the road, we thought that the gravel at the beginning would only last a little while, before getting to the "good" parts. And then the dirt (after the gravel ran out) should be brief, too, right? Funny how rough that road surface is, though...

Turns out that the Duck Nest Motorway is several miles of OHV trail (for 4-wheelers, jeeps, dirt bikes, etc.).

Note to self: not a good road for the VFR. (Or the Hawk. Or the Civic, for that matter.)

We have "Chicken Pike" a few miles down the road from home. No pictures handy though.

A hollow voice says, "Plugh"...
