[Talk-us] Street Naming Conventions

[Dale Puch]

If "Old Olive Street Rd" and "Old Olive St Rd" are one road, ie. connected
and not and a corner.  Then things that may explain it are different
addresses where they intersect, or if they are in different jurisdictions.
Like where two cities meet.  But if the addressing continues between the
different names, then it seem one sign is wrong.  I personally think "Old
Olive Street Rd" should be used, and only cardinal direction prefix and type
suffix abbreviated.  The rest being the core name.

That said, someone really liked to use Olive in the naming....
