I have this hunch that the name Rizal (our national hero) is the most popular street name in the Philippines. So I counted. On first pass, I have this results:
Top names on highway ways: frequency name 164 "Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway" 154 "Floodway B" 130 "National Highway" 114 "MacArthur Highway" 111 "Pan-Philippine Highway" 105 "Sampaguita" 87 "Road" 85 "North Luzon Expressway" 84 "Jose Abad Santos Avenue" It turned out we have several variations of the Rizal's names 44 in all. Some example below: J. P. Rizal, Rizal, JP Rizal, J.P. Rizal, José Rizal Avenue, Rizal Extension, Rizal Drive, J.P. Rizal Street, Avenida Rizal, Rizal Ave So I counted again. We have 242 highway segments that has the word Rizal and its various combinations. ~143.66 KM or 0.18% of all roads in OSM. Happy 150th birthday Dr. Jose Rizal! I was just playing around with nix shell and perl. ;) -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
