I use "admin:ref" for refs that are predominantly intended for
administrative usage, rather than public-facing usage. (The obvious example
of this in the UK is C roads.) That would seem to work here too: granted,
the one you mention appears to be signposted but I presume that's more for
fault-reporting purposes - "dear County Council, the farmer has a bull
roaming free in the field crossed by B64", that sort of thing - rather than
actually expecting people to say "oh, I went for a nice walk on B64 today".

cheers
Richard
