I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

Would you want to spell that out every time you give your address?

I have to spell my street name 50% of the time, and it’s a perfectly normal English word. The last place I lived had a slightly unusual English word name, and I had to spell it 90% of the time.
