I'm not sure why we need to treat the whole discontinuous A11 as a single 
road.

In this example, as far as I can tell we have 2 roads called the A11 and 
a road joining them called the A14 - route planners can deal with this 
just the same as they can deal with A11 -> A14 -> A134.

Route planners shouldn't be directing you along the A14 just because it 
happens to also be part of the A11 - they should be directing you down it 
because it is the best road to get you from A to B.
