You might want to ask for Nominatim to return relations for queries of road
names.

You could also check the way histories to see if the local road names have been
mapped in the past.

And, to actually
And, to actually deal with your question, I'd do a ground survey to see
where the name changes. Failing that, the OS Open Map Local roads vector
layer will show where the OS thinks the road name changes.

Hi Stuart,
Sorry, to clarify I meant the Great North Road relation.
It is entirely right that the verifiable current names are mapped.

What do you mean by the “this” that is to be mapped? Do you mean “Great North
Road” or High Road / London Road, etc. The latter are not historic - they are
current (as you can verify on e.g. Postcode Finder looking for 11 High Road,
Beeston, Sandy)

Hi,
If this is to be mapped shouldn't it be as a historic feature rather than
a (current) road route?
By the way I tend to use loc_name for a colloquial name regardless of
whether it is just used by local people.
Kind regards,
Adam

Someone's had a brave go at defining that very relation:

Feel free to extend it, bearing in mind the Great North Road != A1 (M or
otherwise).

Discussed as long ago as 2011 on Sabre:

This discussion on Sabre highlights the fact that the Great North Road and

So name=* . It isn’t a “local” usage in the same way that e.g. Squinty Bridge
from the Wiki is. And “Great North Road” isn’t a local

So here’s a question.
As the A1 passes Sandy in Central Bedfordshire, and further south, the road has
local road names. For example, it is London Road past Sandy, and High Road as
it passes Beeston to the south of Sandy. These names are verifiable from other
sources, and while I note that
