Something I’ve come across numerous times during the validation process have been unnamed highways. Given how little experience I have mapping roads, I must say that I don’t know what the problem is. These highways are always tagged, but I’m guessing they’re missing their official name e.g. Blue Ridge Parkway.

I wouldn’t know where to get these names except from other mapping services, since if I understand correctly we should not use them as it is not first-hand data (open-source aiming to “build from from the ground up”). And I feel like I’m at the point where I can no longer simply brush off all these warnings, which might indicate that I need to step away from the validation process to take a crash course in road mapping. Perhaps it is that which will lead me down the road to riches.
