"The _______ Road "

So how does a road in Maine get "The" status ? Sometimes its the road itself, as in "the payne road" or "the hogan road" sometimes its a nickname as in "the golden road" and sometimes it comes from where the road goes as in "the howland road". What does a road have to do, or have to be in order to get "the" status ?

From now on, I'm going to start saying "the Sylvan road" to people who ask me where I live and see if it catches on.

It seems to me that each of these roads are the polar opposite of "The Road Less Traveled," and that has made all the difference.
