I like 'gazetted_road', but I think it should be 'non-existent'. Looking at dictionary.com(which isn't a great reference) nobody would understand gazetted road, then I tried the best German translator dict.cc and it failed. Googling Gazetted road comes back with variety of answers, none of the first 10 results mean non-existent so Gazetted is probably ambiguous. looks like a clear winner with non-existent.
