<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Not uncommon for a road to have several
names along its length. <br>
Many main roads do this though towns - the Great Western Highway
can have another name through the town then revert back to the
Great Western Highway.<br>
<br>
I too, like Simon, would take some short section of this road and
tag it Smith Street, leaving the rest alone as Lalbert - Kerang. <br>
You should tag what is on the ground .. but not take that as what
it ends up as at the other end unless you know otherwise. <br>
<br>

Placing of the hamlet (or other place) names is always fuzzy.
Where it is now renders well on the map, if you place it centrally
that may overwrite other objects - cluttering the map. <br>

<div>You can split the way, if the road changes name, and
use the different names for different sections. At least
if that matches up with what it indicates on the ground.<br>

On a secondary note, the node for Lalbert is in the middle

Should<br>
this be moved a bit more centrally, like near the cafe and

<div>I think it should go in the most central part of the
place. <br>
