Funny thing is, less than a half-hour later I spotted and photographed a sign for "East A J Hwy". Only it seems that "A J Hwy" is shorthand for the highway's official name "Andrew Johnson Highway" (that president came from that part of northeastern Tennessee).  I'm unsure whether I can play it as an A J, or more likely will have to settle for A___n (and/or Morris Blvd., which is on the same overhead sign assembly).

I think that's more of a historic route marker like Lincoln Highway or the National Road than an actual street name.

We have played "National Road" before, though shown on a BGS rather than a brown marker sign.

Anyway, can roads/streets have more than one name? Certainly there are many in south Florida marked with two names, one of which was played.

I have some other T___ street names to play if "Trail of Tears" is disallowed.

I've played as many as three separate names for the same street previously (as you said, Miami—Dade County has a lot of these).

I'd be inclined to say your play counts, so I'll go from there:
