Hi Paul,

The interpolation way opposite Blows Lane is split (see break from  
25-27 at level 18). The walkway there is an open footpath between two  
distinct properties, whereas the walkway marked opposite Commonwealth  
Bank is actually an indoor arcade (needs better tagging e.g. covered)  
and hence I did not split the numbering here because the arcade itself  
is a "property" with its own number.


There's some strangeness with the nominatim search results and the way  
it confuses the town/suburb/village John Henderson is on the right  
track - it's something to do with the Town/Suburb/Village hierarchy. I  
suspect it's a Nominatim issue.  It's probably less noticeable in a  
metropolitan area where everything is a "suburb".

Hey Ben,

Nice example.  I reckon it's worth mentioning the numbers at  
Blower's Lane (although on the opposite side of the street) -  
undoubtedly numbering in this fashion will assist with routing.   
It's probably been covered in the Wiki, and most likely in this  
forum previously, but worthy of pointing out again, nonetheless.


Great job!


Cheers,
Paul.

Forster it will point you there with surprising accuracy.
