Fascinating. Norwich doesn't use any punctuation on road name signs. I actually had to do a survey to check this as, confusingly, the OS OpenData names *do* use punctuation. So for example there is a road that has the sign "St Faiths Road" that exists in OS as "St Faith's Road", in Google as "St. Faith's Road" (incorrect abbreviation of Saint in BrE) and in OSM as "Saint Faiths Road" since the wiki says don't use abbreviations. Personally I think OSM should always contain what it says on the sign, though. Knowing what the map in city hall says is less important. -- Borbus. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
