Not rural but suburban, in Harahan LA between Hickory and Dickory they named a street Dock St and they placed a sign at the beginning of the street showing a mouse running up a clock.
It got stolen so many times that they decided not to replace it.
Annoying method around here. Where a road is due N, S, E or W, it gets a number, Ave. or St., but when it angles or curves, it get a name. So one road may have many names and numbers, changing whenever it changes direction.
