No idea, around here they are numbered from the start :) If you go past the start of a street, another street starts, so it can always be extended at the end.

Oh, no, that's the ideal, only a few cities are close to perfect. There are certainly forks, curves and cul de sacs, but they are the exception, not the rule. I have seen areas of Italy for example that don't seem to have a single stretch of road that's straight for more than 50 metres. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
