It's only "correct" because that's the frame of reference you have chosen in this case. The local authority decides what a street is officially called. How that is transposed to signs sometimes introduces errors, and these errors are sometimes volatile. The OS is not the source of the official name either is it?
The frame of reference we use is "ground truth" - what is actually there in the physical world.
Also, the signage at the end of the street is what visitors and delivery drivers see, so it's surely the most practically useful thing to have on a map.
