The New Sapulpa Road situation is in practice a road with a secondary name.
Just like Flagler Street in part of Miami (FL, not OK) is defined by the state
legislature as being "Natan A Rok Boulevard" (or similar, working from memory
here).
My personal opinion is that if local practice and the USPS continue to use the
old name, that name should stay in the name tag, while the Legislature's
political name should be tagged as an alt_name. That said, there are situations
in which most/all signage refers to the new name, in which case switching them
makes sense. (Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Fayetteville, AR being an
example. Most still call it 6th Street, but the city, nearly all signage, and
the USPS' preferred name are all "Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard," and they
are going to keep it up until everyone gets with the program)
Sometimes, the name really is "Highway 66" or "Route 22." Admittedly, it can
sometimes be hard to tell for sure without local knowledge. As long as people
do their best and aren't dogmatic about it when someone who knows better comes
along in the future it will all work out in the end.
