Strange Street Signs

May 20, 2010 11:12am CST
On our way driving up to Scotland last week we came across a sign saying "Moo lane closed" I had to look twice as I am thinking no surely it was not called Moo Lane I thought maybe someone had been playing with the road works sign and changed it to say that. But just a little further along the road there was the street sign for the road and yes it really was called "Moo Lane" It makes you wonder how they come up with these names. So what is the strangest street/road name you have seen or heard of?

There are a few weird ones I've heard of but to be honest now I can't think of any. Moo Lane isn't all that bad, maybe there are a lot of farms down that road. I get a tickle out of street roads named after Country singers.

Doesn't that always seem the way you can never think of them when you want to. You could be right as this was in the middle of the countryside.

Hi, littleone3. That sign reminds me of them saying a moose lane of some sort.. That is what comes to my mind when I think about this street sign name. My aunt has a sign that is named under her nickname. It is called, "Thumb Lane." And there is a road in my county named, Turkey Rd. I also have seen a street called, Love Street too. These are few of the many strange street names that I can recall.
