From the other thread, Newdigate (near Dorking).
Anyone mentioned Sodom (Dauntsey) in Wiltshire yet? Then there is Cock Road in Rowde, near Devizes.
Shitterton near Bere Regis. That one always makes me laugh. Cocking hill, and the Cocking Causeway, around Cocking in West Sussex, I nearly fell off my bike laughing at that little lot last Sunday. . I've got a Winkle street just round the corner from where I live too
If you want to really mucky there is slutshole lane in Attleborough in Norfolk
This make me laugh everytime I pass https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.325744,-5.133112,3a,52y,46.23h,83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJgGBRnxZmRlejOFpNBTYoA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
To get to (I guess it's the old Manchester City ground - I'm not a footballist!), you had to go up Back Passage!
This one always amuses me too:

One of my reasonably regular routes goes through Cock Green. I'm sure there's a cream for that though.

In Shepshed near Loughboro there's a Butthole Lane.
The local football team, Shepshed Dynamo have their ground on the road. Their fans sing "if you like it up the Butthole clap your hands".
Saw this the other day and thought to myself got to add this to the list.

Grew up in Butts Road, Dad's initials are BJ
endless fun...
Lower Upham always made me smile (best punctuated for comedy effect Lower, Upham)
Further afield there is a place hallowed by everyone into burly chocaholic truckers, Yorkeys Knob

When I was growing up, Whittonstall Road in Chopwell, Co Durham (as it was then - Gateshead now) was called "Fanny Bush Lane"... the council changed the name in 2009 either because the street signs kept getting nicked or suddenly people didn't like living on Fanny Bush Lane...
When we got out driving licences (and managed to wangle the use of a car) we used to whip up the A1 to Shilbottle just south of Alnwick in Northumberland with a roll of ¾" tape to change the first "L" on all the signs to a "T" (none of this using marker pens for us - we were professionals - so they would often be there for weeks and of course left adhesive behind which attracted dirt and redid the puerile defacement) - I still chuckle as I pass by.
On a recent ride I passed through Cockpole Green and then later on the ride on a climb out of Henly I passed through Lower Assendon followed by Middle Assendon. As I continued I had my fingers crossed I would see Upper Assendon but alas there was no such place, however I was greeted by "Pishill" instead.

Forgot to add Morphany Lane in Cheshire.
My pal who lives on Ankers Lane complains about people like you...
In my defence, I was young and foolish and it was nearly 30 years go now...
This thread always reminds me of the old adage;-
If Ty-phoo put the T in Britain who put the C**T in Scunthorpe?
Stewart Lee built a whole routine on this, which he used in his BBC show a couple of years back, and praised the thoroughness of the work (all the signs).
Are you up it?

Used to live near Greater and Lesser Snoring in Norfolk, used to drive through Newton-with-scales and Newton-without-scales going to my sister-in-laws.
My kids are always pleased to see Jackament's Bottom, on the edge of the Cotswolds.
Bell End, near Birmingham always tickled me:
No word of a lie, it's quite a stiff climb up to Bell End in Rowley Regis.
