[talk-au] Is addr:housenumber=2/20 likely to be valid?

[Benjamin Ceravolo]

I feel comfortable using the unit number as in the examples above. But I feel it gets more in the weed's when it comes to letters, such as "32a example Street" where I would probably not use the unit tag. What are your thoughts?

In answer to your question though, yes "1/50 Example St" notation is quite common. It is probably well understood, although not universally used.

"Unit 1, 50 Example St" is also used, as is "U 1 50 Example St".

These would all be tagged as:
addr:unit=1
addr:housenumber=50

I want to confirm report from

"In my area (and throughout built-up parts of Australian cities in general)
it is not uncommon to encounter blocks of townhouses which share a
primary address number but have distinct sub-address numbers.

The complete address numbers of such houses are written in the format
<sub>/<primary>, eg "1/50", "2/50", "3/50" for the first three houses
sharing the primary address site "50 Example St"."

Is it accurate? Is addr:housenumber=1/50 the standard and preferred
solution in such cases?
