Not uncommon for a road to have several names along its length.
Many main roads do this though towns - the Great Western Highway can
have another name through the town then revert back to the Great Western
Highway.
I too, like Simon, would take some short section of this road and tag it
Smith Street, leaving the rest alone as Lalbert - Kerang.
You should tag what is on the ground .. but not take that as what it
ends up as at the other end unless you know otherwise.

Placing of the hamlet (or other place) names is always fuzzy. Where it
is now renders well on the map, if you place it centrally that may
overwrite other objects - cluttering the map.

You can split the way, if the road changes name, and use the different
names for different sections. At least if that matches up with what it
indicates on the ground.
On a secondary note, the node for Lalbert is in the middle of
empty land:

Should
this be moved a bit more centrally, like near the cafe and garage
on Main St?
I think it should go in the most central part of the place.
