I think you do get anomalies with addressing like that. Sometimes you come across a house that for all intents and purposes is round the corner in a side-street but for some reason has an address that allocates it to the adjacent main street. I can imagine this occasionally extending to a whole thoroughfare - the council may give it a separate name but maybe all the properties along it have addresses in the neighbouring road.
If this is the situation, you may need to use an addressing schema to reflect this distinction. The main way, I think, should have the name of the thoroughfare it maps, even if this is not part of the address of any properties along it.
