Bilston delights in both Chem Road and Stom Road. The meanings of either are unclear.

London Road.

Who'd want to go to London?!

Shudders.

I used to work with a young woman called Cockshot who was a little embarrassed by the name.

She mentioned that her brother once booked a minicab which didn't turn up, when he rang the taxi company up they had thought it was a crank call & ignored it!

The Italian A6 motorway is officially named 'La Verdemare' ('the green sea'), but has acquired the unofficial sobriquet 'Autostrada della Morte' ('motorway of death').

It features a loop-the-loop on the southern carriageway, and part of it collapsed in a landslide a few years ago, although neither of those attributes are responsible for the nickname.

California highway 152 is known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail due to the amount of accidents that have occurred on it, I assume it's almost as if they are being attacked!

Another international (and American) example, and one more local to me, would be Slaughter Road here in Madison County, AL, which takes its name from a Dr. John Slaughter who used to live near/along it with his family back in the 1800s.
