Seriously, you can't see a difference between the M11, and the
collection of roads called "High Street", all over the UK and even the
world? You don't think that the second is just a bit more "silly" than
the first?

You don't think that searching for "M11" should produce one result for a
road that covers the whole country, and searching for high street should
produce hundreds of separate results?
