ADDENDUM: Likewise, this will serve as a guidelines wherein both fixme=name
and noname=yes
have been previously added due to lack of proper local road naming that may pose issues for deliveries, logistics. Hence, proper street prefixes or suffixes must be followed as stated above.
Motivated by this initative I built some MR challenges detecting streets with missing suffixes countrywide. The tasks are split into 4 areas:
Task bundling and Ctrl+T function in JOSM are highly recommended.
I have recently started adding suffixes to street names in Greater Manila. Previously, most street names omitted the suffix 'street', but other suffixes like 'avenue' or 'road' weren't omitted. This is mostly caused by street name signs themselves omitting 'street' mostly to save space, but if you ask any resident or business owner from that specific street, there is no doubt they will say that the full street name is 'Example Street' and not just 'Example'.
As of posting time, I have completed the adding of street suffixes to 99% (not 100% because I may have missed a couple of roads) of all named roads in Dasmariñas, Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Navotas, Obando, Pasay, Pateros, San Juan, and Silang.
If you want to help out, here are some other localities in Greater Manila that still need street names suffixed (only included are those part of Greater Manila with OSM boundary relations). Scroll down too for some notes and guidelines.
Manila
Cavite
Laguna
Rizal
Bulacan
Not all roads require the suffix 'street' to be added. First and foremost, those roads with already existing suffixes do not need to be suffixed with 'street'. Here is a list of common suffixes or prefixes that do not need to be further suffixed with 'street'. Common abbreviations in brackets also need to be expanded to their full unabbreviated form.
