You might want to ask for Nominatim to return relations for queries of road 
names.

Someone's had a brave go at defining that very relation: 
http://osm.org/relation/2776562

Feel free to extend it, bearing in mind the Great North Road != A1 (M or 
otherwise).

Paul

Road tag - just to demote it.


I would say that the name should be that which is locally sign posted, for 
which you will need an on the ground survey.

I think I would agree with the discussion that suggests "Great North Road" for 
the entirety, should be a [route] relation.
