That pretty much negates the reasoning that we should use abbreviations because it's what's on the signs though. I don't have any strong feelings on one side or the other, except that I am opposed to an 'in-between' state of abbreviating some (street, avenue) and not others (parkway, circle) because signs are inconsistent about the latter. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
