Here are the 20 entries with full descriptions:

1. The Warrior Way (by Visago) - Due to its connection to the nearby moongate, this route sees much traffic from errent warriors of many lands.  It also sees many warrior monks who wander the area tending the shrines found along the road.  They keep a steady presence due to the foul creatures that lurk in the nearby woods, keeping a helping hand ready for any warrior pilgrim who ventures too far in.
   
2. Honor's Way (by Anonymous) - The island of Homare-Jima means Honor-place.  PaxOku is on Homare-jima so it's only fitting that the road that passes through the city be called "Honor's Way".
   
3. Thelorn Avenue (by Gareth) - The guild leader of The Band who first started PaxLair.
   
4. Oku Road (by Kuja) - Pax Lane, it rhymes.
   
5. PaxOku Boulevard (by Elijah Cross) - Ever is the boulevard patrolled and kept safe for those who wish to visit the several places of interest in this great city of PaxLair.  From the great museum, the library, the auction house and the ever so delightful Blue Light Tavern (just to name a few)!  Much traffic does this boulevard see in a day, getting those to where they are going in the great city of PaxOku!
   
6. Via Incrementum (by Elijah Cross) - Meaning road of growth.  Not long ago PaxOku was nothing but a thought in one person's mind.  That thought evoked action which in turn involved others until PaxOku was born as an outpost of PaxLair.  Even then the growth continued as Lord Gareth was named Viceroy and PaxOku soon after became established as a thriving town.  Even today the city continues to grow as it bustles with traffic of all kinds, merchants, travelers, guardsman to protect the populace as well as Pax officials.  Ever has PaxOku grown and it shall continue to grow for ages to come.
   
7. Blue Light Parkway (by NANOC) - I chose this name because of the park-like setting at the moongate and to the tavern of PaxOku.
   
8. Via Sanctimonia (by Elijah Cross) - Meaning Road of Virtue.  Ever have the citizens of PaxLair been Virtuous and achieved mighty goals.  A simple dirt road running through what has become a great city of PaxLair, for that is what it is, no?  PaxOku was once a humble outpost in the wilds of Tokuno along a simple dirt path.  Almost as a symbol of what PaxOku once was, the simple road remains.  Reminding us all of the great accomplishments achieved by the great and Virtuous citizens of PaxLair.
   
9. Alliance Lane (by Eli Mason) - PaxLair Alliance is a major part of PaxLair.  Has a nice ring to it.
   
10. Rock Road (by Eli Mason) - It's a road and there are rocks...
    
11. Balance of Light Thoroughfare (by Eli Mason) - PaxLair has been about Balance.  And the initials happen to be BLT.
    
12. PaxTorra Drive (by Kerrs Holley) - Torra is associated with the 5 beginning books of the bible and you can interpret it many ways such as a new Pax beginning or the road from the beginning.
    
13. Avenue of the Gods (by Kerrs Holley) - Could be fitting to commemmorate all the gods who helped the citizens piece the unique city of PaxLair so many years ago.
    
14. The Road of Balance (by Kerrs Holley) - This name may be suiting for the lane because it has always been a constant struggle with the balance of good and evil within the realm!
    
15. Seer Daemeon Way (by Kerrs Holley) - In honor of the sacrifice the Seer has made to return the spring of courage to its natural balance.
    
16. Paxican Crossing (by Kerrs Holley) - This is just a bit of a silly name but a fun name, amusing yet true for many citizens of Pax cross the road every day, risking getting trampled by oncoming horses and traffic!
    
17. Moongate Way (by Eli Mason) - Many roads are named for places they head toward heading away from major cities.
    
18. Canopus Street (by Issac) - In the ancient city of Alexandria, Canopus Street was the main street of the magnificent city.  It stood out in the city has the center of trade where people from all over the world could come and meet.  Like Alexandria, PaxOku is a dignified city in our land that has trade (vendors) and other fine establishments.  The road going through it takes you to each major part of the city just like Canopus Street did in the ancient city of Alexandria.
    
19. Monk's Crossing (by Samuel Gestalt) - The Monks of PaxOku are crazy!  They are always running through your house and trying to drive you crazy.  And they always run across the road!  One day of these days when they're Crossing, they're going to get hit by a horse!!
20. Paco Taco Boulevard (by Paco Taco) - Paco Taco is cool.
