[Talk-us] Missing Road Suffixes

[Martijn van Exel]

Here in Utah, names like "100 South" are common and should not get a 
suffix. TIGER may have something like "100 South Street", but the street 
is not signed that way, and nobody uses a suffix locally.

So, please inquire with locals before cleaning up. Thank you!
