Thanks, I’m thinking that there is some useful information here. As others have pointed out, it seems most probable that service roads probably won’t have names.
I’ve a look at 10 of the Scottish examples, most of these actually seemed to be referring to buildings, some of which need mapping and others that are already mapped. OSM Table Road Comment --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/318396724 Franklin Ave Looks like actually Cotland Drive https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/37732406 Clyde Tower Service Road, has no name. Clyde Tower is correctly mapped as the nearby tower. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/321485236 Beachview Ct Again Beachview Court is a buiding. This is a service road. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/119334525 Clyde Ct OS OpenData StreetView shows Clyde Court as nearby building to be mapped https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4900032 Phoenix Ct Looks like a building needs mapping https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23397774 Red Bridge Ct Building is mapped https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/479772256 Eastern Vw Looks like building, needs mapping https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/584960381 Skylark Wynd New construction, needs mapping https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/92291906 Rosneath Castle Caravan Park Caravan Park https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/535587048 Victoria Cres New Construction needs mapping. So in conclusion: - There is some useful data here for identifing improvements that can be made. - The matching could be improved to include buildings as well as roads. - What is the source of names, is this licence compatible?

Some of you may have seen my session in Milan where we talked about Microsoft’s ongoing OSM work in Australia. We’ve created a list of the top 1500 streets in the UK that appear to be missing names along with the name that we _suspect_ should be there. We are not 100% certain if our suspicious are correct and, not being local to these areas we are not remotely trying to fill these in. If there are folks that know these areas we could use your help closing these gaps. The complete list is available here: https://1drv.ms/x/s!As04HHdPPfhgg4lYigS4IiWjp2JJiw These are not major roads but they are associated with a large number of residential addresses so end up having a big impact. We may also create a Maproulette challenge for these as well if that is preferable?
