<div dir="auto">I may fall back on using "Highway X" or something
similar when it's predominantly or consistently used across the stretch
of road within the same municipality or another where the highway runs,
but there are some instances addresses within the same municipality or
another along the same numbered highway may use another road name. For
example, one property will use "Highway X" on their address while
another property nearby or further down the road (within the same
municipality or another) uses "Range Road XX" or something like that.
Another issue is with the naming of service/frontage roads ("service
road" common usage in Alberta), but that's another story and may be
complex as they may have their own names (e.g. Highway 16A service roads
in Spruce Grove and Acheson, and Yellowhead service roads in Edmonton,
many of which are pre-existing roads or grid roads). </div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Also an additional thought, this issue may also apply
to grid roads as well, as they may get prominent names often posted in
advance at highway intersections, but in many cases addresses will be
using the grid road number (either based on city/town grid or
Alberta/Dominion survey grid).</div>

tag, which can be uncertain, and you might want a name that should be
the most useful for the most data users. In this situation, you got some
name in addition to "Highway X". Sometimes, those names are commonly
used (e.g. Trans-Canada, QE2, Yellowhead, Anthony Henday), and in
others, its just the number (as in my local examples; the road has
name[s] but is more commonly referred to by number). The name is on
signs at intersections, interchanges or on-/off-ramps or the trailblazer
at about every 20 km, but locals will use the highway number for
directions or rural addressing. I did replace cases of "Highway X"
across Alberta, but the address signs may say something as "1234 Highway
X", and/or the locals will use the highway number for wayfinding.</div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div>
