And this problem is not easy to solve by programs. Up to now I don't know any efficient algo that allows to
find the nearest named road that goes parallel to a selected unnamed way. It would be of great help here.

IME pavement-mappers rarely add the street name to the pavement/sidewalk, but in fact the name applies to the pavement/sidewalk as much as to the bicycle/car lanes. "Walk along unnamed footway then turn left onto unnamed footway" is a less helpful direction than "Walk along Broad Street then turn left onto Cornmarket Street". (The ref, on the other hand, usually applies only to the bicycle/car lanes.) very true. The same issue often occurs with cycleways (omitted names). Cheers, Martin
