To tell them apart.

@ChipmunkErnie we use a numeric system for highways and the vast majority of other ID systems across the country. My confusion was why we resorted to naming as opposed to IDs

@Iwantyourhotwife Because names are easier to remember? Like "Hurricane Adam" as opposed to "Hurricane 2022-32-SA-13a"?
