This interactive dataviz I created lets you explore about ~1k different themes I computed by cross referencing popular Wikidata articles against OSM roads.

The framing is a bit deceptive, saying that these roads are "named after" these things, despite the clarification in the about that they may have no relation. This whole thing is a bit busted, the about on each "chapter" only sort of describes what a category entails. Obscure shares the same about as famous.
This feels like a project that was done without much care for the details, considering how many themes are pure nonsense. No acknowledgement of AI in how this was done but it sure smells of it.
