As we journey through the winding roads of life, we often overlook the humor under our very tires.

But today, we're taking a detour into the delightful and downright chuckle-worthy world of America's most amusing street names.

From the whimsical to the wacky, every state boasts a byway or boulevard that's sure to tickle your funny bone. So buckle up, dear readers of The GrayVine, as we embark on a cross-country cruise of the funniest street names in every state!



Yes, these names actually exist. Whether it’s Booger Hollow, Farfrompoopen, or the ominous Bucket of Blood Street, these signs aren’t just amusing—they’re real locations you can visit. And yes, GPS systems really do announce them out loud.

While some of these streets have names steeped in history or folklore, others seem to be the product of sheer whimsy. Who wouldn’t want to snap a selfie next to a Yellowsnow Road sign in Alaska or take a detour down Hairy Man Road in Texas.

Alabama: Booger Hollow Road​

Located northeast of Dadeville, Booger Hollow Road sounds like something out of a ghost story. But “booger” was once a common Southern term for spirits or supernatural creatures, making this road’s name an eerie nod to local folklore.

Alaska: Yellowsnow Road​

This Fairbanks street serves as a humorous reminder of an age-old warning: don’t eat the yellow snow.

Arizona: Bucket of Blood Street​

Holbrook’s Bucket of Blood Street owes its gruesome name to a violent saloon brawl in the 1880s, after which the floors were said to be covered in blood.

Arkansas: Farfrompoopen Road​

This street near Fannie, Arkansas, leads to Constipation Ridge, making for one of the most amusing geographic pairings in the country.

California: Zzyzx Road​

Pronounced “Zye-Zix,” this road leads to a former health spa in the Mojave Desert. Its founder chose the name to ensure it would always be last in alphabetical listings.

Colorado: A Dog Will Lick His Butt But Won’t Eat a Pickle Road​

This extremely long and oddly specific street name in Fountain, Colorado, is a private road, but the sign alone makes it legendary.

Connecticut: Drury Lane​

West Hartford’s Drury Lane is a nod to the famous nursery rhyme about the Muffin Man, making it a delight for fans of Mother Goose—and Shrek.

Delaware: Slaughter Neck Road​

This ominous-sounding road near Slaughter Beach likely got its name from the mass death of spawning horseshoe crabs rather than anything more sinister.

A tribute to the classic 1960s sitcom, this street in Cocoa Beach celebrates the show’s NASA astronaut and his mischievous genie.

Originally part of a five-fork intersection, this Gwinnett County road’s second half, “Trickum,” remains a mystery—perhaps an old joke about sneaky business deals?

Kentucky: Billy Goat Strut Alley​
