<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Dave, hi Warin,<br>
<br>
exactly my thoughts. See also again the comments on my diary:
these names seem to be official ones.<br>
<br>
So I'll add OSM notes to let others fix this or should I move them
directly to official name and leave name empty? (I've no local
knowledge there :))<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Peter<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
we've detecting more and more long names for highways,
like I once<br>
reported here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/karussell/diary/26055"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/karussell/diary/26055</a><br>
<br>
One example:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/51109811"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/51109811</a><br>
<br>
As discussed there the names are from official source,
but should we<br>
really include this in the name tag?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
</span>
Why not put it as the alternate name? This way the 'official
name' is recorded for all to see.<br>
<br>
The name= I'd use would be what the locals call it .. or
what is on a sign post. It won't be long (I'd think).<span

I've posted this to the OSM forum already and there seem
to be a bit<br>
controversial answers :)<br>

<br>
But I agree with 'SomeoneElse' that description should
not go into the name.<br>
What is common sense here?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>

Descriptions do not go into the name tag.<br>
But if the 'official name' is that then it goes in.<br>
<br>
If it has no name then there are tags for that too!
