Roads in America cross referenced with George Washington on Wikipedia

We take the George Washington article on Wikipedia, find the entries that belong to it, and look for roads whose name is the same as one of those entries. A match means the street name equals an entry's Wikipedia title, its Wikidata label, or one of its aliases. It says nothing about why a road has its name.
