There's a street in downtown Tulsa called "Heavy Traffic Way." It begins at
I-244/US 75, and runs sorta parallel to it, so I assume it was built when
the IDL was built. Where did it get its strange name? There are many
trafficways in Kansas City but this is the only one in the Tulsa area that
I'm familiar with.

Any more stupid street names?



My favorite one is "warp drive".
It's in a small town just west of Rochelle Il.

Lois Lane is a residential street in Albuquerque, and I think there are
other Superman themed names in that neighborhood.

Some time ago I was driving a truck through a city and happened to
spot "jane-way" lane. As in Captn Janeway of the Voyager. I've seen
"Lois Lane" in numerous cities.
