[Talk-us] Missing Road Suffixes

[Karson Sommer]

Hi,

I've put together a short list of counties which have significant numbers
of roads which are misnamed. By misnamed, I mean that rather than being
something like name="100th Street", the roads are just name="100th". I am
assuming that every street should have a suffix.

Logan County Kansas
Hockley County Texas
Wayne County Michigan
Noble County Oklahoma
Orange County California

I already took care of the worst offender, Wayne County, Iowa. 72% of the
length of named roads in the county were malformed. I just referenced a
TIGER overlay since it had the full street names.

You can see what I am talking about by running this query in Overpass Turbo
and replacing the geocode:

[out:json][timeout:25];
{{geocodeArea:Logan county, kansas}}->.searchArea;
(
  way["highway"]["name"]["name"!~" "](area.searchArea);
);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;
