Comment (by lonvia):

 For reference, the supermarket in question is this ALDI:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?osmtype=W&osmid=194775094
 and the road it should belong to is South Ardmore Avenue:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?osmtype=W&osmid=22109380

 Itś not really an error if you cannot find the supermarket using the right
 address when Nominatim assigned the wrong one. The reason that the road is
 not assigned correctly is that South Ardmore Avenue is rather long and the
 ALDI happens to be at the very end. The current search radius in
 getNearestNamedRoadFeature() is 0.01 and the centroid of the road is 0.015
 away. Could increase the limit as a quick fix. I don't think it will hurt
 performance much. Naturally, it won't solve the problem for the general
 case. Any other ideas?
