For a route that appears to have been mapped it follows quite a few highway=road ways, so I wonder if the source is from surveying on the ground signposts?

There is also a short break in the route in Beccles and it looks a bit dubious around where it crosses the A12, so there is perhaps still good reason to get out and survey it (if only to confirm that the =road is =unclassified in most cases).
