Hi Nemanja, You can use semicolons if there are multiple alternate names, like alt_name=Big Apple Street;Highway 666. Folks used to use name_1, name_2 but this seems to be generally discouraged now. There is also loc_name but the use of that has always been a bit unclear to me, since local (posted) information should always be considered before anything else. For numbered highways you can also use the ref / network tag, especially if ‘Highway 666’ is not the posted name. Wiki pages that are relevant: * https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Multiple_names <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Multiple_names> * https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name> * https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multiple_values <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multiple_values> I don’t know if there’s any local conventions that would trump this general rule — I am not familiar with that, since I am not in / from Australia. Just trying to help :) Martijn
