Is it best practice to include these as alt_name or not:name on the

I'd go for not:name, because the abbreviation is not the real name and it is
the convention established soon after the OS Opendata was released.
Where OS suddenly get these strange names from seems odd to me. It's almost as
though they want their Opendata to be hard to use.

Let me first introduce myself, I'm a Belgian mapper that has been lurking
for a few months on this mailing list. The reason is that I want to learn
how other communities work and which problems they have and how they solve
them.
Now back to the topic: in Belgium it's quite common to have streets
Spare a thought for Nieuwstraat/Neustraße on the boundary of NL-Kerkrade
and DE-Herzogenrath. It looks like there have been differences in
approach between Dutch and German mappers over the years. The Germans
say it should be tertiary or secondary, and the Dutch put it back to
Primary. Maybe we
Left and right is decided by the direction of the osm-way. Not by

BTW, in Brussels we have streets with 4 official names : left/right,

Use the direction of the way, i.e. the direction in which the OSM

Sorry in my defense I had just woken up, clearly not fully. I should have
thought about the direction of the way. The direction isn't all that
obvious if using ID rather than JOSM.

Hello,
It's interesting and highlights a few problems local to me, some I had
buried my head in the sand temporarily because I don't know how to fix them
correctly. My biggest problem when tagging roads is what to name a road
when either side of the road is a different street. For instance the
There's one like that in Oxford (for about 30 metres) - street addresses
different on the two sides. For the moment it has name=St Clements
Street, alt_name=London Place, and a separate footway with name=London
Place (plus a name:note).
So my suggestion - draw separate footways, and give them
