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

So how should I tag this? I want to have the correct name for the sections of A1, yet I don’t know how far these extend (my data lists the street names at points, not over lengths), and equally I don’t want to lose the Great North Road tag - just to demote
it.<br>

</span>I would say that the name should be that which is locally sign posted, for which you will need an on the ground survey.<br>
<br>
I think I would agree with the discussion that suggests "Great North Road" for the entirety, should be a [route] relation.
