[OSM-talk-be] Streets with two names

[Gerard Vanderveken]

I agree with not splitting the road.

For the is_in problem, I suggest the same use of left and right.
is_in:left = LeftTown
is_in:right = RightTown

I have in my neighbourhood a road on the language border.
It has depending the side a different french (town of Wallonia) and 
dutch name (town of Flanders) and on top of that a speed limit of 30 in 
one sense, while on the other side,  there is no limit or 70 km/h

Regards,
Gerard.
