If you lot let politicians to get upwards streets too roads thus they volition undoubtedly hand them the names of men (definitely non women). Usually these volition live on men whose primary claim to fame is that they convey killed a lot of people.
The best means to avoid ending upwards amongst a route map which is dominated past times the names of manful individual psychopaths is to crowd-source the naming of your streets too roads. By doing this you lot tin hand the sack ensure that your route map is instead a delightful wonder of surreal humor. At to the lowest degree that is what happened inwards Belgium.
In Brussels metropolis officials decided that Earth could suggest the names of the streets inwards a one-time industrial district which is undergoing regeneration. The world were invited to suggest the names of 28 streets too squares inwards the novel Gare Maritime neighborhood. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 jury thus chose the winning names from all the entries. Allowing a jury to brand the terminal selection for the district's novel route names was plainly intended to ensure that the metropolis didn't destination upwards amongst controversial, offensive or overly ridiculous street names.
However I am happy to denote that the novel Gare Maritime neighborhood volition convey a selection of surreal too wacky route names. My favorite is 'Ceci n'est pas une rue' (this is non a road), which is an obvious homage to Magritte's famous surreal epitome 'Ceci n'est pas une pipe. You tin hand the sack sentiment the novel route names for yourself on the Discover the New Street Names interactive map.
Among my other favorites inwards these novel route names are Place of Great Men (a novel world foursquare plainly dripping amongst irony). There are too a release of roads too paths which hand the hope that they mightiness Pb to a amend place.There is a Happiness Way, a Better World Path too a Dreams Drive. There are too 2 streets named for famous Belgian women. They are the celluloid manager Chantal Akerman too the outset Belgian adult woman to snuff it a doctor, Isala Van Diest.
