In the UK we seem to read number in road names as a whole number (rather than sequence of digits) if they're less than 100. For example, for A40, people would say "A forty", not "A four zero". Same with the M25: people say "M twenty five", not "M two five". But for A roads with three digits such as A419, people generally say "A four one nine", i.e. they don't treat it as a single number. So the only solution for now would be to change the English voice only for roads with more than two digits in the name, and hope that doesn't negatively impact other English-speaking countries.
