[Talk-GB] Tagging of roads with adjacent named terraces

[Donald Noble]

Hi,

Just wondering if there is any consensus/guidance on tagging of streets
with adjacent named buildings/terraces. There are quite a few of these in
Scotland, and until now these have been tagged with the main name of the
road, and name:left/name:right as appropriate for the building/terrace name.

Recently a mapper has changed a couple of these so the (minor) name appears
on the map, and they do not appear to be local. Before reverting this, I
just wanted to reach out to the wider community.

This road is called London Road, but the buildings to the north are called
Leopold Place, see https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=932836447528898
which shows both signs (although a bit blurry)
GinaroZ left a note https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/3087279 regarding
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/116967047

Thanks for your thoughts on this,
Cheers, Donald
