Well, you could have fictitious highways - places you can drive along that aren't highways ! But yes, I was more thinking of name so 'fictitious name' within a highway perhaps would be better. The problem with not:name is that people may legitimately be calling the road that name even though it's not called that name. Not:name is fine when it's an error.

We have also "Frying Pan" (from a murder with the said implement many years ago) And we also have "Anfield Road" which has been attached to the side of a building as a 'life-size' sticky label on a 'non-road'. I'm trying to think is there an 'alt:name' ? but then, it still appears as being official. It's more than a slang name - if the authorities are using it in error. Maybe 'unofficial name' - even if officially used ! How about 'AKA' as an attribute ? :) Mike. @millomweb <https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction> - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via *the area's premier website - * *currently unavailable due to ongoing harassment of me, my family, property & pets* T&Cs <https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail>
