I don't understand that. If the name of the street is "Dale Mabry Highway" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Mabry_Highway), we should tag the name as "Dale Mabry Highway". Not "North Dale Mabry Highway" and "South Dale Mabry Highway". > The database would be much better with the address broken into well defined > parts. Fine, add a separate key for the address. The name of the highway is "Dale Mabry Highway", not "North Dale Mabry Highway". The *address* is "North Dale Mabry Highway", but the address is not the same as the name of the road. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
