[Talk-GB] Acceptability of data sources for road names

[Donald Noble]

I would appreciate some opinions on acceptable data sources for road
names when out surveying, particularly thinking about new housing
developments here, but could apply elsewhere too.

Of the six data sources below, the first and last are pretty black and
white OK and not OK respectively, but what about the shades of grey in
between?

1. Road sign saying "Main Street"
2. Sign on house door "6 Main Street"
3. Information board with map labelling road as "Main Street"
4. Housing development sales board with map labelling road as "Main Street"
5. Map on housing development sales website labelling road as "Main Street"
6. Commercial map of new housing development labelling road as "Main Street"

And one other that doesn't fit on this continuum is asking a local
resident what the name of the new road is.

I suppose this also applies to other information too, although perhaps
with additional caveats, especially if it is rarely available on signs
on the ground.

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I've not come across it.

Cheers, Donald
