Shortest named, motorable, through road?
I nominate this one as a candidate. Thetford Road is so short that it only requires six white lines down its entire length. It is named, like its neighbours, after Norfolk towns, although no properties have a Thetford Road postal address (the two near corner houses are in Yarmouth Road and the farther two in Sheringham Road).
It is not a segment of a road which continues beyond some barrier – this is all there is of it.
A strong counterclaim to this title will be found at:

Branksome: postbox № BH12 173, Alder Road
We look from Alder Road along a small cut-through to Sheringham Road, no doubt where traffic would once have been allowed. The box is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at 11:30am on Saturdays.

Branksome: postbox № BH12 243, Yarmouth Road
This large postbox has been repositioned (or, more likely, been provided as a replacement for the old box) in the last couple of years. Wroxham Road is the turning just behind us, and on its next junction up there were a couple of shops on a corner which had become vacant – the postbox was outside those shops. The shops have recently been demolished and housing built in their place; they did include a post office for a short time – from 1932 until the Second World War.
This box is currently missing its collection-times plate – or perhaps it is still awaiting one – although there are the words 'IN USE' scrawled on the white panel.
