Potential licensing issues notwithstanding, it's often possible to
read street name signs in

Off-topic, but the Royal Mail have long discouraged the use of 'Near',
but they do

A few general points:
* Google certainly uses OS Open Data for street names in the UK. I
corrected a few a while back via the OSGB feeback and they then filtered
through to Google Maps. In one case the GSV clearly showed the correct name
on the road sign.
* The first couple of examples provided
PS: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/48658548 in the example actually
does have a sign and may be an exception or simply an error on behalf of

I can't speak specifically for the UK, but in general I would not
consider google of any use at all for determining if a road has a name
or not.

Although...(note to Jubal)...OSMers in the UK do not use the Royal Mail
(the Postcode Address File or PAF) file as a source of address information.
Lester may have used it to further corroborate a name held in OSM. See

Hi Everyone,
Our Open Maps team (https://github.com/microsoft/open-maps) has been taking a
closer look at OSM in the UK. Some of you may have seen my session in Milan
where we talked about Microsoft’s ongoing OSM work in Australia.
We found a few examples of roads missing names that we
