I'd go with #1, and add some sort of "fixme" note on the end to suggest 
that it actually continues further, perhaps "fixme=Longer than this".  
Different people in different areas use different ways of indicating 
this, so I'd go with whatever is commonly used near you.

By the way (not sure if it covers you), but ITO have a useful map viewer 
that highlights these:
