If it is on the street sign, I agree to put it in the name tag. Here, they get new names in most communities. My personal favourite is "Kakhoekweg". Yes, it exists right here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.98051&lon=3.85697&zoom=17&layers=M There is a sign with that name. The sign on the southern end was recently vandalised, so go to the northern end if you would like to check.
Map what you see in reality can never do harm. wouter On Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 5:29 PM, Jo <winfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Where "trage wegen" are being reinstated they are 'named' as Voetweg xx or > Buurtweg yy.
