What do you mean by the “this” that is to be mapped? Do you mean “Great North Road” or High Road / London Road, etc. The latter are not historic - they are current (as you can verify on e.g. Postcode Finder looking for 11 High Road, Beeston, Sandy)

By the way I tend to use loc_name for a colloquial name regardless of whether it is just used by local people.

I want to have the correct name for the sections of A1, yet I don’t know how far these extend (my data lists the street names at points, not over lengths), and equally I don’t want to lose the Great North Road tag - just to demote it. I would say that the name should be that which is locally sign posted, for which you will need an on the ground survey. I think I would agree with the discussion that suggests "Great North Road" for the entirety, should be a [route] relation. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
