This is very much a corner case...<br><br>Step 1:<br><br>Select a node with a low housenumber. Press 'a' and connect to a higher housenumber. <br>Select this new way and tag it with: addr:interpolation=even (or odd, of course).<br>
Select one of the footways with a simple name by means of Ctrl-LMB (left mouse button)<br>Now you have two ways selected.<br>Now I press 'e', but that's not the default shortcut key for Address Interpolation (oh, it helps a lot if you install the associatedStreet and terracer plugins)<br>
Then a dialog window comes up.<br><br>Click on the radio button<br><br>o Relation (Create new) (the first time at least)<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm not able to create a new relation, it only shows the relation you already created, or to add streetname tags.<br>

OK, I'm back. The example will be uploaded as soon as I'm happy with it.<br><br>While the associatedStreet relation is open, you can also add the highway=service to it, and give it a role=street.<br><br>I like to order the houses by housenumber and put the streets at the
end. When you sort the relation with the inbuilt sorting routine of the
JOSM relation editor, the streets go first. That's not very important.<br><br>You can add all the other street segments which have the same name
and which happen to be in the same 'gemeente' and which share the same
postcode.<br><br>Now you will find that those houses aren't exactly
rectangular, so you'll have to use 'x' to extrude a lot and all the
other regular editing aids at your disposal. 'q' to make everything
orthogonal.<br><br>If you now where the front door is, because you can determine it
from bing, or because you have survey pictures, you can add nodes with
entrance=main on the contour.<br><br>I also prefer to use building=house
instead of building=yes, some people even start tagging the shape of
the rooftops... (to get nice 3D renderings, and why not, but I'm not
that far gone yet)<br><br><br>Now this is how I was doing it before I went to have a look in France, say before the RMLL in Strasbourg in July.<br><br>Over
there they are doing things a bit differently. The French claim they
got the idea in Germany, but the same discussion just occurred on
talk-de and the Germans prefer to do things as it 's currently described
on the wiki.<br><br>The other way of working is to preserve the existing address nodes
(and thus their history) and to put them on the contour, adding
entrance=main to them, where appropriate.<br><br>I tend to like that, as
it allows to see both house numbers and name tags on the buildings.
Those names are usually the name of a business in that building.<br><br>Let me know if something is not clear and then take all this text,
modify it as needed and create a wiki page from it. (You can leave out
the remarks at the end, if you like)<br><br>The price for this whole explanation is a few photos of the bus stops in that neighbourhood... :-)<br>
If you make those pictures, you can send them to <span dir="ltr"><a href="mailto:fotoshaltesdelijn@gmail.com" target="_blank">fotoshaltesdelijn@gmail.com</a></span><br><br>Many thanks and you can, of course, let me know if something is not as clear as it should be.<span class="HOEnZb"></span><br>

I'm not a lot in that neighbourhood anymore, but I will remember to take pictures of bus stops when I see one. And about that wiki page, is it usefull to put this in the OSM wiki? I don't know where it belongs.<br>
