Never once have I heard it called the "Heath Interchange", similarly, for the "Whetstone Interchange" and "Kirkby Muxloe Interchange" neither of which are intuitive names (if I wanted to clarify which junction to someone I'd use something like Leicester Forest or Aylestone for the former, and A46/Fosse Way for the latter).

Either way, I think junction names should only be in the name tag when these are clearly signed: we have suitable other tags for variants loc_name, official_name etc. I suspect that "Heath Interchange" may need to be a locality to support the address (if we have it available as an open source), but various authoritative sources <a href="http://sk53-osm.blogspot.com/2011/02/mysterious-case-of-kenyon-road.html">have been known</a> to perpetuate names not even in local usage (small coda to the link: I've found one person who remembers this as Kenyon Road, now in his mid-70s and went to school with children of Mr Kenyon, but it undoubtedly ceased having that designation betore 1966, and it was never a public road; it now does not exist).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Jerry<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 2 Jan 2023 at 13:53, Steve Doerr <<a href="mailto:doerr.stephen@gmail.com">doerr.stephen@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 02/01/2023 12:38, Andy Townsend wrote:<br>

However, Heath *Intersection* does appear in the official postal <br>
addresses for postcode S44 5SL.<br>
