<div dir="ltr">There's one like that in Oxford (for about 30 metres) - street addresses different on the two sides. For the moment it has name="St Clements Street", alt_name="London Place", and a separate footway with name="London Place" (plus a name:note). <div>
<br></div><div>So my suggestion - draw separate footways, and give them names. Use name/alt_name on the road, or name = "one name / other name" if both seem equally valid.</div><div><br></div><div>Richard</div></div>

My biggest problem when tagging roads is what to name a road when either side of the road is a different street. For instance the analysis highlights "Myrtle Grove" as missing here: <a href="http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/osm_analysis/map_browser?bbox=415474,536751,415809,537148&referrer=area" target="_blank">http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/osm_analysis/map_browser?bbox=415474,536751,415809,537148&referrer=area</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Myrtle grove is the South side of the road labeled Chestnut Grove and continues around to where the Road is labeled Elm Gardens. Almost all of the streets in the estate are like this, where it is very misleading because opposite sides of the road is a different named street. How should this be mapped, I have steered clear of fixing it because I couldn't find any guidance on how it should be labeled and technically is it even wrong. The actual building footprints I have added the correct addresses to.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I use various OS products in my day job and interestingly OSM labels the streets exactly the same as Vectormap Local does, anyone looking at either OS or OSM maps would not be able to find Myrtle Grove. Another street where I have always though was labeled wrong in the village is Roddymoor Road, there is no street sign and I have near heard anyone refer to it as this. The street on part of this road is not labeled (buildings are) it is East Terrace and that's how anyone describing it or looking at signs would describe it. Again OS do this the same which is probably why OSM has it tagged like this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>All of this highlights that while OS Locator may have a difference and is fantastic for finding potential problems, changing it so OS Locator comparisons are 100% may not be the correct solution?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any help appreciated and apologies if I should ask in a different list, surely this is an incredibly common problem that I have somehow missed the obvious solution to.</div><div><br></div><div>regards,</div>
