Not quite what you were asking, but there is a very, very expensive private road in Chislehurst (the sort that EAs describe as "premier") that has had a sign changed from "Beware of Ramps" to "Beware of TRamps".
Picking up on the amusing signposts rather than place names, sorry ...
The signpost to Shilbottle in Northumberland regularly used to have the l changed to a t.
And I spent a whole holiday in Wales sniggering at the Welsh road sign for hidden dip, which my husband soon failed to find amusing. It's Pant Cud. (Oh how sad, I'm actually giggling typing it.)

So wrong in many ways yet so funny
Having lived near Shilbottle prior to moving here - I thought the correct spelling was with the 't'.
Living in Devon we have tons of wierd names tow of my favourites are Pennycomequick abd Eggbuckland.
The one i love to say when my eleven year old niece is in the car is shall we go to Crapstone. Which is normally followed by a disapproving look from my sister
