[talk-au] Which street to use?

[Kim Oldfield]

Hi Graeme,

When I've mapped addressees I've added a node where the driveway enters 
the property. This has two advantages: it's easy to add when doing a 
street survey (unlike mapping a building or property boundaries), and 
when navigating to the property the driveway is usually where you want 
to go.

In your situation this means a node near West St tagged with 135 East 
St. Add a note tag to explain why if you think this will help.

There is no consensus according to 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses>:

    Address information can be added to OpenStreetMap using a variety of
    methods, such as adding a simple node containing an address, adding
    address information to a building, site or other area, or
    alternatively to an entrance node for the building or site.
