Hi, in Ireland I occasionally encounter long roads/streets which have the same name for several kilometres but which have additional names (usually ... Terrace") for short stretches, usually between neighbouring side streets. I looked through the help section but couldn't find anything on such a situation. Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/history#map=18/52.06111/-9.50599 The R876 is called Lewis Road for quite a way. Additionally, there are street signs calling the bit just south of Sunnyhill lower "York Terrace", the bit to the north "Emmet's Terrace". I've no idea how to handle this. |

If a road has two names, tag the less common name using alt_name. To tag only a section of a road, you need to split the osm way first (using the scisors on a node in iD or "p" in JOSM... can't recall how this is done in Potlach2 but it shouldn't be hard to find). Thanks - no problem in Potlatch 2, but as I just decided to change editors, maybe this'll be the first thing I'll do in JOSM tonight.
