The number C340 must have come from somewhere - looking at OSM, their source is a post on this very forum.

The road spans two local authorities so C340 appears to be Peterborough's number for it; the small stub in Cambridgeshire is probably different.

I've added the C340 to the Peterborough Class III map - the data I was using was from before the downgrade, but makes sense as Peterborough tends to use C3xx numbers for new routes. Cambridgeshire may have done the same as they seem to share numbering systems.

I'll create a page in due course, currently working on ones in Durham until North Northants give me some data and I can connect roads up over the border :)
