Hi Warin
I would expect the highest order entity, the longest or biggest
entity, to be the primary name. For example the Hume Highway will
include a lot of High Streets, Station Streets or Main streets of
country towns. In my mind its first the Hume Highway and secondly High
Street wherever. I havent given it a lot of thought, its just how it
feels.
