So how are we going to fix London then?<br>
Because this is happening on a massive scale thanks to tracing aerial imagery.<br>
<br>
We have literally thousands of miles of unnamed roads in London... and<br>
the vast, vast majority of these /should/ have names. And I'm going to<br>
go try and fix them, and would like to know when not to bother.<br>
<br>
This is one of those cases where we have actually identified a problem<br>
and are figuring out how to fix it, rather than just inventing crap<br>
for the sake of it.<br>
