[Talk-GB] Local names of bits of trunk roads

[Andrew Hain]

You could also check the way histories to see if the local road names have been mapped in the past.

And, to actually deal with your question, I'd do a ground survey to see where the name changes. Failing that, the OS Open Map Local roads vector layer will show where the OS thinks the road name changes.

Kind regards,

Adam

Hi Stuart,

Sorry, to clarify I meant the Great North Road relation.

It is entirely right that the verifiable current names are mapped.

Kind regards,

Adam

What do you mean by the “this” that is to be mapped? Do you mean “Great North Road” or High Road / London Road, etc. The latter are not historic - they are current (as you can verify on e.g. Postcode Finder looking for 11 High Road, Beeston, Sandy)

Regards,
Stuart

Hi,

If this is to be mapped  shouldn't it be as a historic feature rather than a (current) road route?

By the way I tend to use loc_name for a colloquial name regardless of whether it is just used by local people.

Kind regards,

Adam

Someone's had a brave go at defining that very relation: http://osm.org/relation/2776562

Feel free to extend it, bearing in mind the Great North Road != A1 (M or otherwise).

Regards,
Paul

So how should I tag this? I want to have the correct name for the sections of A1, yet I don’t know how far these extend (my data lists the street names at points, not over lengths), and equally I don’t want to lose the Great North Road tag - just to demote it.


I would say that the name should be that which is locally sign posted, for which you will need an on the ground survey.

I think I would agree with the discussion that suggests "Great North Road" for the entirety, should be a [route] relation.
