On the subject of street names, it's a relatively new thing in Doha.
In the past, we referred to specific places.
Bread street was well known as was Electricity Street. Mazda roundabout (the roundabout under Jaidah Flyover) was the old location of the Mazda Showroom.
Jasper Carrot commented that he had seen skeletons driving round looking for places.
The traffic light at the Ramada were at one time a roundabout, full of trees that were host to migrating parakeets. The trees were chopped down as the y were considered a security threat and the roundabout became known as "Polygon" roundabout.
There was another roundabout on the "D" ring road (the one leading to new Al-Sudan) that was known as "Jump Jet Roundabout" because during it's construction, it was unmarked and cars hit the curbs and literally "jumped" into the air. The same roundabout was also known as "Stinky" roundabout because of the smell from the nearby sewage tower.
Give it time and it will be sorted out ;)
