Shreveport's Stoner Ave. Yeah, there's plenty of weed among its denizens, but probbly more crack than anything.
There's also a Stoner Avenue in Los Angeles, on the Westside (Brentwood/West L.A./Mar Vista). And when I was in high school that name was appropriate for one stretch of Stoner. . That street sign is the most stolen in L.A.
L.A.'s other funniest street name: Queens Road in West Hollywood and Mariposa Ave. in Hollywood ("mariposa" in Spanish literally means "butterfly" but it's also an anti-gay slur in Spanish). Not to mention L. Ron Hubbard Way.
St. Paul:
Cretin Avenue
Pierce Butler Route (not funny, just weird)
Energy Park Drive (ditto)
Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard (enough names for 6 streets!)
Minneapolis:
Main Street (it's not funny until you see it: it's a short, narrow little street in an obscure neighborhood far from the main business district)
The Mall (any particular one?)
Iowa City:
Taft Speedway
Rochester:
Chili Avenue (actually not funny when your hear it pronounced: chy-lye)
Miami:
Arthur Godfrey Road
Red Road
Blue Road
Don Shula Expressway (All road names that use the first and last name of the person they are trying to memorialize sound funny to me, especially when the first name is a nickname)
Milwaukee:
Kinnickkinnick Avenue (called "KK" by the locals)
Vliet Street (not sure how they pronounce that one)
Boston:
Fresh Pond Rd.
Atlanta:
Boulevard (kinda generic, where's the rest of it?)
Actually it's quite the opposite. I'm a Louisianian, born and raised. French names are part of every day life for me. What does amuse me is when I'm in NOLA and I hear tourists trying desperately to prounounce a few of these street names. The only one I'm not 100% sure of is Urquhart Street, but it's a minor side street anyway, so I'm not losing any sleep over it.

So it's not the name that's funny, it's the pronunciation of it that's funny. Got it!
We have some like that here in the Twin Cities: e.g., Wayzata Blvd., Mahtomedi Avenue.
