Alaska has some really awesome, if not bizarre, street names like Sesame Street, Galactica Drive and Ragged Ass Road in Anchorage. The privately owned and named streets are even better if not slightly raunchier, 1985 Chicago Bears Drive, Yellow Snow Road, and Oh Sh*t Corner… just to name a few! Check out these 10 crazy street names in Alaska and see if you’re familiar with any of them. If you know of any other streets signs that stand out then leave them in a comment so we can all have a good laugh!
- Beggar’s Roost Run

- St Nicholas Drive
Flickr/Rasmus99 The North Pole can’t help but be festive with their names 🙂
- Snowman Lane
randy joos | Flickr Oh, what the heck. How about one more North Pole Themed street sign. If you want to learn more about this fun and wacky town in Alaska, check out Travel Alaska’s website.

Sandy Slaymaker | Flickr This street actually used to be a muddy trail leading to the brothels along Creek Street. Who would’ve guessed! Read more about this funny sign on Experience Ketchikan’s website.
- My Road
Devon Blunden | Flickr A clever private road name, This is My Road… so stay off!
- Poopdeck Street
Charles Adler | Flickr Next time you’re in Homer, see if you can locate this road! One of the weird names in Alaska that you’ll find when you’re out and exploring. There’s also a trail with the same name, right nearby!
- Memory Lane
abhinayeswarappa | Flickr Ah, yes! Turn off Clear View Drive and take a trip down Memory Lane!
- Killer Whale Avenue
Gatoryates | Flickr I wish I’d grown up on Killer Whale Ave, that’s a hard street to beat! Another great name in Ketchikan. Check out more about this fun seaside town on their website Visit Ketchikan.

Crazy Street Names In Alaska August 19, 2020 Megan McDonald Why does Alaska have so many funny street names? Alaska is a land of odd characters with great senses of humor. Many people enjoy living here because the rules of etiquette and behavior are much more relaxed than other parts of the United States. Oftentimes that translates into fun or quirky behavior that we all get to enjoy! We surf bore tides, run outhouse races, and race reindeer down a prominent downtown Anchorage street. With so many fun things to see and do, it’s no surprise it’s spilled out onto some amazing street names all across the state. Is there crazy laws in Alaska? Actually, there’s quite a few crazy laws in the state of Alaska! You’re not allowed to whisper in someone’s ear while they’re moose hunting, most likely passed into law as a safety measure. Also, we like you to leave the wildlife alone: waking a sleeping bear for a picture is a definite no-no, and it is definitely illegal to feed a moose an alcoholic beverage. Just a couple of many crazy laws we had to enact in the Last Frontier!
