Comment(by arencambre):

 OK, but note that the road type isn't being concatenated with the name
 here. This is where the name in the database is '''Belt Line Rd''', but
 the name that I was trying to geocode was '''Beltline Rd.'''.

 I think you may have a point with roads like '''Buffalo Speedway''' in
 Houston. '''Speedway''' is the apparent road type, although the road is
 never referred to as just '''Buffalo'''. (Truly, the road is
 indistinguishable from other low speed, Houston-area inner loop
 collectors.)
