Silly Street Signs: Why Did They Name It That!?

Silly Street Signs: Why Did They Name It That!?

Some towns are named after historical figures or landmarks that give the place some gravitas. Others are just random, weird or downright rude. Here are a handful to make you smirk.

1. Hell
This h*ll really does freeze over in winter.

2. Accident
The residents of this Maryland town are called “Accidentals.”

3. Why
Arizona State Routes 85 and 86 used to converge at a Y-intersection here. They wanted to name the community “Y” but law states names must have at least three letters in them. Now you know “why.”

4. No Name
Nearby is No Name Creek, No Name Canyon and No Name Tunnel.

5. Unexpected
Nobody saw this New Jersey roadway coming.

6. Dull and Boring
How would it feel growing up in a town where even the street signs mock you?

7. Kidnapper Road
Police records don’t show any history of child snatching here.

8. How’d you like to have this for your address?
This Shrewsbury sign marks where the town’s red light district used to be.

9. Peepee Falls
Yep. Welcome to Hawaii

10. Kickapoo
It doesn’t have the same connotation to the native Algonquin people.

11. Shitterton
This tiny hamlet in Dorset was aptly named for a “farmstead using a stream as an open sewer.”

12. Butts Wynd
There have been two attempts to rename this Scottish street throughout the centuries, but this seems to be the best they can come up with…

13. Weiner Cutoff
For some reason, this Arkansas street sign often goes missing.

14. Chik Fuk Street
This no doubt means something different in Chinese

15. World’s End
That takes the dead end concept up a notch.
