There seems to be a big problem in this border area with using names not as names, but as tagging for the renderer, and also not actually setting the meta-data that should really be used for the information.

Please see: osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only , osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer and the discussion at https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=60390

For example, putting "(Buses)" in a road is usually wrong and will never stop routers from sending cars down that lane. Naming a causeway "Causeway" is also wrong. Either it has a full name, or it should not be named at all.

It would be good to check this road physically. If you can't afford a dashcam, just download the mapillary app and photography this road.
