There's an entire subdivision in Sterling Heights with several Tolkienesque road names.

I wanted to do the same thing, no results! I guess thats what having obscure names is all about
Yeah I wouldn't expect many streets are named "qqg3".
I tried to search for something I could take as a cosmic sign, inputting my girlfriend's name and then my own. Nada. Zippo. Zilch.
We were however eating in a restaurant last year, a pizza place where people scribbled on the walls in marker, kind of an added character thing. Above my girlfriend's left shoulder were our names in faded writing, dated 4 years prior. We do not have fairly common names, so I'll take that as my sign.
Anyway, I digress. This is pretty cool and I have sent it along to my friends.

#53Having lived in the south for a few decades, I am extremely surprised there is no Jackson and Lee intersection anywhere.

Do you interpret it as a positive sign (since your names were there) or negative sign (since the writing has faded)..?

#55Good, it correctly finds my favorite local intersection: https://www.crossing.us/intersections/Kitchen%20dick/Woodcoc...

#56Not entirely sure how the listing for Peachtree and Peachtree didn't find anything in Georgia.
Years ago, I was visiting friends in Atlanta, one of whom was a civil engineer for GDoT. He took me to the intersection of Rosser Rd and Rosser Pl.
That's hardly uncommon. Up near Calgary they went big on planned developments. If you lived in oaktree then you would come in on Oaktree Road, turn off on Oaktree lane, take the corner at Oaktree Place, and then turn on your street, Oaktree circle.
Mail got misdelivered quite frequently in that area, often because the people addressing it weren't paying enough attention.

#58Nice! But I wish I could also check for triplets so I could find absurdities like this Bellevue,Bellevue,Bellevue intersection in Seattle :

#59It’s worth mentioning that you can enter just one name and Crossing will pull in a bunch of intersections across the country that contain that one moniker.

And imagine if that intersection was in Bellevue!
