[Talk-us-massachusetts] Named Major Roads

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

What are we to do about state highways that have names like "Grand Army of
the Republic" , "Cranberry Highway".
The MAD address for buildings on these roads are Route 6 and Route 6A.
I propose changing the name= to an alt_name= and assigning the  MAD name to
name=
Travelling to the cape I think I would be looking for directional signs
saying "Route 6A", I don't think I'd find a lot saying "Cranberry Highway"

Interestingly, buildings along Route 2 from Alewife to Concord have MAD
addresses of "Concord Turnpike" and "Cambridge Turnpike"
