There is no risk of confusion. You see the roads in this country are labelled quite precisely with a letter, then a series of numbers and then occasionally a letter in brackets e.g. A1(M). There is no danger of confusing the letter 'O' (oh) with the number 0 (oh) as the letter 'O' never appear in a road 'number'.
