One thing that you are likely to find is that some highways will have
multiple names in local use. For example, if a highway with an official
name of Route X leads from town Alpha to town Bravo, people in town Alpha
are likely to refer to it both as Route X and also as the Bravo Road.
People in town Bravo are likely to refer to it as Route X and also as the
Alpha Road. The highway department, on the other hand, is likely to simply
say Route X.

you will know that there is no real road name if you go there and survey
whether there are signs with a posted road name or not, and if not you
could ask local people and look up official sources. This is surely not
something you should do from remote. The best thing to do from far away
might be getting in contact with the local mappers and point them to a
potential problem.
