[Talk-us] Missing Road Suffixes

[Ray Kiddy]

Interesting.

I am looking at Santa Clara County (because I live there) and, on the 
very first road I checked, TIGER 2020 data shows the road name as just 
"Greenwood". With no other name. I wonder how common this is, or whether 
there might be something else wrong.

Weird.

way id 8966502
