Practically every minor road in Northern Ireland has a name and each name is displayed on a sign. In addition, it has become the norm to add in red the name of the townland through which the road runs. In this instance, Macinish Road runs through the Townland of Slievenisky. Road names are also displayed on OSNI 25,000 maps and all 1:50,000 maps have on their reverse side a map and an index of the townlands in the area covered by the map.In marked contrast the names of local roads in the Republic are not displayed either on the ground or on 1:50,000 maps. Instead, some local roads have a sign displaying their L number, but these are not shown on OS maps, and neither are the townland boundaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_roads_in_Ireland
