I have been wondering about postcodes. We have a postal_code tag which can be applied to streets and it would be nice to collect these. However it is not something like name plates that you find in the street by observation.

Just thought I'd mention that in some places this is in fact the case. As far as I know it's only Liverpool and London, but I could be wrong, might be other places too. The postcode of every street in Liverpool has the first half on the road sign:

Oddly enough I have occasionally seen the full postcode on new small apartment blocks too. I always put postal_code tags on the roads I do (in Liverpool).
