Hi Stu,
To my knowledge, none of these roads "have numbers" in any meaningful sense. They were already tagged with an "official_ref" (used by and only useful to the council). There are no signs, so C93 through Flaxton isn't anything that you can "refer" to.
Best Regards,

Hi Andy, I wondered about this. Occasionally you see these on signs but yes it is only occasional. They are references by local authorities, so if you had to report to a council it could be useful or if you wanted to query council work. Thanks for the comment though.
Regards, Stu

There is (or used to be) at least one signed "C" road near Helmsley, but they're pretty rare.
It would certainly be possible (and not that difficult) to render "official_ref" on a map, but it doesn't make much sense to do so on a general purpose one. As an example, the "prow_ref" on http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/266477112 is shown on https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=53.23708&lon=-1.10346 - it would be possible to do something similar for offical_ref.

Just for info, someone's since changed the C road refs here to "highway_authority_ref". If you want to see that you can look at https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=54.05272&lon=-0.96757 , which shows them.
