That's exactly what it is. I just had this happen where two US highways merge, and it told me to "keep straight on HWY 20" at that location. You'll also often see this where two interstates merge for a while in and around cities.
A bigger problem I have than occasionally hearing "Keep straight on Highway 20" is "Keep straight on US-20, US-94, US-1, US-15, US-501, US-99, US-98, NC-24, NC-27, NC-17, PG-13, PS-5, N-64, I-95, I-85, I-40, Bragg Boulevard for 1.3 miles."
It puts the instruction at the beginning, and then it talks so long you forgot what it told you to do. It's how you stack overflow a human.
I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. What were you saying?
