This is about https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47652073, right? I don't 
see a street name sign in Bing Streetside imagery either, so someone on 
the ground would reasonably conclude that it's just a continuation of 
East South Frontage Road, if anything. If the county doesn't consider 
"Old US 66" to be the street's official name and neither of the 
businesses use that street name, then at best it's a description of the 
street, better tagged as old_ref=US 66.

More generally, it isn't strictly necessary for an "Old U.S. 66" to be 
one of the old alignments. "Historic Route 66" signs have gone up along 
much of the original corridor, maybe even on some roads that bypassed 
the former alignments, since the signs technically denote a National 
Scenic Byway rather than the route as it was just before decommissioning.
