If it was actually 9.5 miles, the road probably wouldn’t even be there at all, and if there were some reason for it to be there anyway, it’d probably be named after that reason. In the US, once you get past the East Coast, much of the country was planned before it was settled, and part of the planning was a grid of roads, often including a major road at every integer number of miles. Since the mile number is the reason why the road is there, sometimes that’s what they get named.
