You could also check the way histories to see if the local road names have been mapped in the past.

Failing that, the OS Open Map Local roads vector layer will show where the OS thinks the road name changes.

It is entirely right that the verifiable current names are 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) Regards, Stuart ------------------------------------ Stuart Reynolds for traveline south east & anglia On 25 Jun 2018, at 16:38, Adam Snape <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, If this is to be mapped shouldn't it be as a historic feature rather than a (current) road route? 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 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
