this to
There are no such signs on the road, it is just the A50. I travel along it
every fortnight.
I would agree that we change the tags to something else, such as official_name
or similar. I am happy to volunteer.
In the satnav senario long names such as this just confuse when the user does

I am a novice when it comes to road names. I've probably only done a
couple, if that, so apologies if I'm stating anything that is already
