Oklahoma got a lot of "East 820 Road" type names, but in reality it should be ref=CR E820 instead. TIGER is the most notorious source for this bogosity, and the counties themselves aren't super consistent themselves, so you'll see some with the five point blue county signs, some that use standard street blades and list the road numbers, and some that literally paint the route numbers on the pavement at each intersection, regional knowledge is required to get the context right, especially since you'll get some that TIGER imported with like: name=East 820 Road name_1=Cemetery Road name_2=River Road. Rearrange the multiple values randomly. It's pretty obvious to tell which is going to be the county road number. Which name it is gets a little tricker; sometimes it was originally one then it changed to another, sometimes it's none of those besides the county road number, sometimes it's the county road number and another, fourth value for the name from a more recent renaming.
