Look in the wiki under key:name.

reference in an
official publication to a fictional streetname - and have
found use of
that name in other official circumstances - despite the street in
question having a completely different name !
Well highway=fictitious would imply the road is fictitious, not
the name.
I suspect not:name= is what you want - that is what we normally
use to record names erroneously asserted in official sources.

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.

Can you give an example where it might be useful.
I'm aware of "The Mousetrap" which is well-known locally but is
certainly not the correct name for the road - but as I'm not aware of
the correct name - if it even has one - so "The Mousetrap" has gone in
under 'name'. 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.
