Hi,

What to do about a road that doesn't have a name comes up on the list frequently. There's a few options suggested.

I've created a new proposed feature for this listing the available options (noname=yes, name:absent=yes, missing_tags=name, etc etc)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Proposed_features/Noname

Please flesh this out and use the discussion page. If one is the clear favorite, it should be voted on.

Am I missing something here, or is the editing interface now CREATING a new problem? If something does not have a name why would you ADD a name=xx tag. No name tag = no name. I doubt that every trackway has a name so why ADD thousands of noname=yes when simply not providing a name tag does the same thing.

i think the concept of what we are talking about is this

there are two cases to describe:
· that it really does not have a name, so we need to have the source of this info in case that the situation changes or to check the validity of the info. · that we don´t know the name, so we need to know the cause, (eg. there is no sign on the ground), this way we can avoid to travel physically there again to check, and we have to find the name in some other way.

in the first case maplint or noname layer should not mark it .
in the second it should be marked as there is a lack of info. if the cause is tagged then you can see it in the editor and then survey it on ground to look for the sign, or ask somewhere to solve either the actual name or if it really does not have a name.
