Re: [Talk-GB] "road names" along the A50 (and elsewhere)

[Roger Calvert]

'description' might be an appropriate tag - after all that is what the 
phrase "Foston Hat­ton Hilton Bypass" actually is.

    Having lived near there (part time) for six years, certainly I
    never heard
    anyone call it that.

    I tend to tag C-roads with admin_ref rather than ref, on the basis
    that it's
    a reference for administrative purposes rather than general usage.
    By the
    same token, maybe admin_name would work here, or something like it.

    cheers
