At first look I thought this was a once-hedge, a hedge that's been left to
itself. But each tree is equally spaced, looks the same age, doesn't seem
pollarded or coppiced as what you might expect a tree in a hedge to be, and
so I don't think that's the case now. So to my mind now, it's a fence,

OSM has the name on the actual caravan park, which sounds more likely:

According to a horse riding friend this would most commonly be known as a
“mounting block” in UK.
It seems people are more likely to need to them to get on a horse rather than
off.
The only recent occasion I have seen them on a bridleway was a new dedicated
bridleway bridge (not much wider

Evidently this is a long-standing issue -

could have sworn the racecourse was visible earlier this month.
Converting my local tracks to multipolygon relations probably makes more sense
anyway because they

Wikipedia calls them "mounting blocks"

I spotted a new ish concrete one the other day which had an official
looking "horse riders may mount here" sign above it, but I don't think
those signs are in the HM Sign Manual. I prefer "mount" to "dismount"
A few general points:
* Google certainly uses OS Open Data for street names in the UK. I
corrected a few a while back via the OSGB feeback and they then filtered
through to Google Maps. In one case the GSV clearly showed the correct name
on the road sign.
* The first couple of examples provided
PS: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/48658548 in the example actually
does have a sign and may be an exception or simply an error on behalf of
the municipality.

I can't speak specifically for the UK, but in general I would not
consider google of any use at all for determining if a road has a name
or not.
Wit for example https://www.google.ch/maps/@46.7958402,10.2534831,18z
Not a single of those "named-in-google" streets actually has a name.

Although...(note to Jubal)...OSMers in the UK do not use the Royal Mail
(the Postcode Address File or PAF) file as a source of address information.
Lester may have used it to further corroborate a name held in OSM. See
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_2017_Q4_Project:_Addresses_and_Postcodes
All "ref" values are relative to some authority who is responsible for
maintaining the list. The "A1" in ref=A1 is not unique unless you
specify that (for example) the UK Department for Transport issued that
value. A C-number is still a valid ref, but the maintainer of the list
is a local council.
