There’s a police training centre in Wolsingham up north, brother works nearby sometimes and assured me there’s a road sign for a roundabout with ‘Police’ at one exit and ‘Crook’ going the other.

No photo off him and I got bored of street viewing to find it...if anyone wants to oblige, feel free biggrin

I have known this one for years:

I thought it was only Americans who had this particular sense of fun- glad to see it here as well!

There used to be a ‘St. Peter’s Close’ in Stamford, with retirement bungalows in it. Since remained, I believe.

Dorchester Police Station in Dorset is next to a new building complex called Brewery Square. Some one decided to name the road running alongside it Copper Street!

There's a group of car dealers in Colorado, USA, that are located on New Car Drive. The roads around them are called Test Drive.

I bought mine from Groove Toyota in Littleton, Colorado. Probably about 15 car dealerships in a mile radius, and the only amusing name is that of the dealership. Barely. I am disappoint.
