I hope you've not deleted any of the data I added. Just because it doesn't have a sign doesn't mean it doesn't have a name. Approaches I've used to find out its name is to ask a local (usually retired, long standing members of the community are good for this) and researching via council files/public records. Removing names just because they are not "on the ground" is taking the rule too far and wastes the effort people have put it to the map. It is tagging for the routing engine - we should adopt another method to stop routing engines announcing "turn left to xxx" where xxx is unsigned. Example a signed:name=no tag. Rob
