Hi, sorry for the late reply, the name for "Jalan Raya" in this case, is the stretch of main road in Bedong town.

Basically, it's the translation of Main St., which is either Jalan Besar or Jalan Raya.

The reason of putting in the name is it is widely used in addresses in this case, just like "Jalan Pasar" or "Jalan Market" branching out of this road. Other than that, the main identifier is the lot number which is much harder to pinpoint the exact location in real life usage.

And regarding the use of this name in official (government) documents, usually state road like this would only have name that indicates its destination, e.g. "Jalan Alor Setar-Butterworth", which is meant for official documentation by JKR (used for road maintanence purpose). And often time, these official documents are hard to come by.

The second option, is the so-called "common name" and this is much harder to justify. In this context, it is justified as:
1. It is widely used in addresses for businesses along this stretch of road.
2. The accuracy comes down to the uniqueness of this road being the only "Main St." in Bedong and easily recognised by local community.

In conclusion, the name is accurate in its local context, but not necessarily for every town with similar roads.

Once again sorry for the late reply.
