  Some roads are too deserted, with few or no landmarks. Hence bus stops located there have nothing to be named, except for roads and Lamp Posts. Example locations are: Mandai Road, Mandai Lake Road, Tampines Road, Jurong Road etc.
  
  Anybody try listing for some more deserted roads ?

  Actually the "B25 CCK Road" designation for bus stop is for SMRT buses only. Don't know why they want to do this as the lamp post there is 50 meters apart maximum there.
  
  As for SBS Transit, they stick to using Lamp post number xxx as the distance between lamp post is only 50 meters maximum.

  Last time, I rmb that before the bus stop guide is out, the tranitlink bus guide uses LP -- to label the bus stops. But i dun know what it means.

  Surprisingly, Jurong Road isn't named after lampposts, they name if after the Track numbers.
  
  On 180, the long stretch along Bukit Batok Rd has quite a few LP...

  From what I know, the naming of the bus stop is usually, if there are no buildings:-
  
  1) Road names - before / after so and so street, track, etc
  2) Lamp post - before / after Lamp post xxx, etc.
  
  Other than the 2 above, SMRT Buses now resorted to using the bus stop name given for the ezlink system, like B25 CCK road, etc.
