"Having little confidence that KDOT got it right, either" is exactly why I didn't change the names: let the locals (cities, counties, local residents/citizens) hash this out as well as KDOT, if KDOT wants to get involved. For whatever reason, I've only seen these serious differences of this magnitude in the state of Kentucky, lest the greater-in-US OSM community suddenly panic that TIGER needs a major boost in fixing. (I mean, let's STAY busy cleaning up TIGER, but let's not panic that it is especially bad).
OK, TIGER data are "only fair to poor" in Kentucky. I will say that. I'm not laying blame or pointing fingers, simply observing that entering route data from a state DOT was frequently perplexing given the need to match highway infrastructure of current TIGER data there.
