Define "doesn't have one".

A) No evidence of the name
B) Evidence of it not having a name

Doesn't have a sign? Or some authority agrees it actually has no name?
The two are different and should be handled differently, since the
first might be resolvable by means other than streetsign hunting (out
of copyright maps, or some such) whereas the second will only be
resolved by someone giving it a name.

So it

Cheers,
