| Subject: Miserable OZschwitz statists: Cheeky road names on notice in policy revamp Wed Jun 19, 2013 10:13 pm | |
| As a descriptor of the local landscape, Titswobble Road at Tuncurry leaves no doubt as to the rocky terrain. But as state's road naming policy is overhauled, its days may be numbered.
The Geographical Names Board has proposed tightening rules over which road names are allowed, and which are confusing, too commercial, hard to pronounce or likely to offend.
Many existing road names would have been rejected had the proposed policy been in place: Flannel Flower Fairway at Shoal Bay, for example, would have been deemed too much of a mouthful while Qantas Boulevard at Liverpool clearly promotes a business.
