I've been using official_name for roads when the naming authority has publications which names a road different from what the street sign says, as a way to capture both the signed and published names. Blackboxlogic (talk) 15:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Most of the time you should respect what the official GIS/road centerline says and put them as name instead official_name, if you spot any difference, you need to contact the GIS office. --CBRS (talk) 15:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
