True, but again we are not just mapping for UK. I agree that it has a different meaning in different part of the world. In my hometown you can see the arcades look like this: http://kamizole.blog.lemonde.fr/files/royale11.jpg It is also the case in Tours in France, in the center. As someone mentioned before, the arcade seems to be in use in Italy too. It would be nice to have different people from different countries to chime in so we can ascertain if the usage is right or not. Using colonnade won't help as it is clearly a different kind of structure in the first place. Emilie Laffray
