Intersects with Loser Lane.

Immediately starts getting all the mail from QAs worldwide

"SlepΓ‘" which means blind. With "street", it would become "SlepΓ‘ ulica", meaning "Dead end". Ultimate troll.

Electric Avenue...and then we'll take it higher.

Just move to Brixton

And if anyone’s not familiar, the song was written about this street.

Darcelle Street

For context, Darcelle was a the oldest drag performer who passed away recently and he was a huge part of the city

There's a law in place that we have to wait 5 years to change a street name to be named after someone who passed away and the amount of support that street name change already has means it'll likely happen

"Cul de Sac Street" which would also be a state highway. Just to confuse people.

Seems like the sort of thing my city would do.

Root Mean Square.

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

Neighbouring town has a street called Pig Lane. Where the police station is. Perfection.

Belgrade, Serbia got you covered: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/39596307 (we were once socialist country, but more and more streets are losing their original names nowadays:(

[–] Granixo@feddit.cl 1 points 2 years ago

Omg, i didin't know!

Thanks! :)

[–] Jourei@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Street Rd. It should intersect with Road St.

Oh, why yes, I'd like to see the world on fire. Regular gasoline is fine, thank you.

Baker Street. And then I'd buy the block of land numbered 221, subdivide it, and turn 221B into a tourist spot.

"Their Right Of Way"

I dunno but we got a street called Cock (slang for penis) Clod Street.

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Luck St. After Andrew Luck. Guy deserves something.

Right This Way

[–] aperson@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

9th avenue. We have a 1-8, and 10-17, but no 9th. The street where 9th would be is named after the town and it eats me that I've lived here my whole life and have no idea why.

What's with these Reddit-style questions that are clearly designed to elicit PII?

There's been a lot of them recently. Can mods do something?
