The main aim of a street sign is to identify the street names of a road, court, place, lane, or any other type of area a person can drive a vehicle down. They have been in existence for centuries, with the Romans erecting the first street signs along the famous Appian Way in 312 B.C. Now, these were just markers and not exactly what you would call a street sign. It wasn’t until the late 1800s when the first automobile was invented that street signs became a thing. The early street signs were named after landmarks, monuments, locations, topographic features, and famous people. As cities grow and more roads are built, the need for more unique names has increased, leading to some very funny street names. While modern street names are normally chosen by real estate agencies and developers in conjunction with the local government, there are still street sign names that get approved despite being absolutely hilarious. Considering the number of streets there are across the country, it’s no surprise that strange, weird and funny street names are being used. Some of these street names are from decades ago and might not have been seen as funny back then. Then there are those that seem obviously like joke names but somehow still made it through the selection process. Whatever the reason, these signs provide some giggles and make driving a little bit more fun. Read on and discover some of the funniest street names and the cities where you can find them. 22 Funny Street Names You Won’t Believe Are Real
- A Dog Will Lick His Butt But Won’t Eat A Pickle Road, Fountain Colorado RCList/YouTube Yes, this is an actual street sign. But according to Snopes, it was erected by a family on their property and is not recognized as an official street name. Pity.
- Fanny Hands Lane, Ludford, Lincolnshire
When this lane was first named Fanny Hand Lane, it probably wasn’t a big deal, considering fanny was commonly used to describe a person’s rear. But these days the word has a different meaning, making it a little rude for a street sign. 3. Bucket of Blood Street, Holbrook, Arizona
This is not the type of street you want to be walking down at night. According to Atlas Obscura, the town of “Holbrook, Arizona was a wretched hive of scum and villainy where outlaws and cowboys could indulge their drinking, gambling, whoring, and general rakishness” during the 1880s. Gunfights and violence were a common occurrence and it was said that the floorboards of Terrill’s Cottage Saloon were slick with a “bucket of blood,” hence the street name. 4. Zzyzx Road, California Wirestock Creators/Shutterstock If you can pronounce this street name then you are doing well. 5. Titty Ho, Raunds, Northants u/Dismal_Motor707/Reddit The name Titty Ho doesn’t really suit the town of Raunds, known for its prehistoric finds and ancient English history. Funny sign though. 6. Cock Lane, Smithfield, London chrisdorney/Shutterstock It’s funny how you only find street sign names like this in England. It was the sight of several brothels during Medieval times, so the name does make sense. There’s also meant to be a ghost that inhabits the lane. 7. I Dream of Jeanie Lane, Cocoa Beach, Florida Wikimedia Commons This street sign is an ode to the popular show of the same name that was set in Cocoa Beach. 8. Minge Lane, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire Jabba MTA/YouTube Why is it no surprise the worst (funniest) street names are often found in the United Kingdom? Do they have dirtier minds than everyone else or just think it’s funny to create street names with rude words? Whatever the reason, they do provide plenty of laughs. 9. Booger Branch Road, Six Mile, South Carolina Adriana Minadi/YouTube This a reminder to always carry a handkerchief or tissue with you when traveling. You never know when a booger might appear. 10. Crotch Crescent, Marston, Oxford Brownie Bear/Flickr This might not be the most flattering street name but it is apparently named after William Crotch (1775–1847), a Professor of Music at Oxford from 1797. 11. Bell End, Wollaston, Northamptonshire Gareth Bellamy/Flickr Another name for the tip of the penis, it is easy to see why residents of Wollaston aren’t fans of the street name Bell End. 12. Farfrompoopen Road, Arkansas Photo Tonic/YouTube When it comes to naming streets, whoever came up with this one must have been having an enjoyable day on the turps.

- Ha-Ha Road, Greenwich, London Photo Tonic/YouTube This street sign knows it’s funny and is laughing at itself.
- Smellies Lane, Dundee, Scotland @jim_peggie/Instagram Not hard to know how this lane got its name. Make sure you hold your nose while walking down it.
- Sluts Hole Lane, Attleborough, Norfolk TOP10S/YouTube It’s believed this name came about due to a clerical error. The actual street name is Slutch Hole Lane, which is much better.
- Psycho Path, Traverse City, Michigan Adriana Minadi/YouTube Although this is on private property, it doesn’t make it any less of a funny street name. Fun fact: Psycho Path was once voted America’s most bizarre street name.
- Ham Sandwich, Finglesham, Kent The Poke This sign just makes you hungry.
- Toe Jam Hill Road, Bainbridge Island, Washington Adriana Minadi/YouTube Hopefully this road isn’t as disgusting as its name. Strange street names like this one just make you wonder what people were thinking when they came up with the names.
- Capt Bacon Road, South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Photo Tonic/YouTube Combining the words capt and bacon to come up with a road name is not something you would expect, but that’s exactly what the folk in South Yarmouth did.
- Meth Bible Camp Road, Blountville, Tennesse Photo Tonic/YouTube Yes, this is a real sign. Apparently, there really is a bible camp for former methheads in Blountville, with this handy sign directing them in the right direction.
- Broomrape Lane, Lake Havasu City, Arizona Photo Tonic/YouTube Whoever decided to name this lane really needs to have a long hard think about the job they are doing. It’s incredible to think it got the nod of approval from the local council. 22. Big Beaver Road, Troy, Michigan Photo Tonic/YouTube We assume this is named after the furry creatures with the big teeth that build dams and not the other furry creature.
