If you look carefully the key NAME indeed does not exist. The dictionary
contains 2 key-value pairs.
This should clear things out:
*key * *value
*'value' 'Route66'
'key' 'NAME'
Get it? NAME is a value, not a key. You have used the string 'key' itself as
a dictionary key. My advice would be to not use such conflicting names.
