Thanks for catching my mistake; at first I was going to use 53223662 as the example, but switched. The data mistake I attempted to refer to was Val's example of "W 3300 S". Alas, Val didn't specify a city, but an example I found is http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/83553388; the signage might have "3300 S" at the intersection with S Main Street, but it'd only be at that intersection as a cost-saving measure, and signs naming "W 3300 S" for the westbound branch of that intersection and "E 3300 S" for eastbound would be equally valid. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
