Andreas Another thing that comes in mind, there seems to be no defined rules when to use Avenida and Rua, the same road can be Avenida and Rua on the same piece, also in the IBGE layer it doesn’t seem to be any rules for numeric values, it can be Rua 15, Rua Quinze or Rua XV, and they can be mixed within a relatively small area. This topic have been briefly discussed previously, a good way would be to include the other alternatives in alt_name, though this is not been done to many places yet.
