Hi,

I wrote a simple script to query (using the overpass API) the streets that have no house numbers in my area, so I can hunt those down one by one. There are a few false positives (2 so far), where the street is really short and it's correct that it has no house numbers (all building have house numbers from surrounding streets).

Is there any convention how to tag these special streets?

Thanks!

AFAIK there is no way to tag it explicitly as street-without-housenumbers. You might want to add an note=xyz tag to indicate that you checked it already?

Vmiklos, there are more streets (ways) without housenumbers, since the streets dont get a number but only the houses, homes or buildings. Read these lines as well, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses ,with schemes for different countries. And remember the adress tag could even contain just a number without any relation to or with the street you need to get the building, like RR4OSM211.

Sure, my problem is more like how to keep track of what is checked already, but using note= sounds great for that purpose.

I also checked keepright and osminspector, but they don't seem to handle such cases. Otherwise they might been a good place to collect false positives...

vmiklos, a script that searches for the combination; way, building with address node or just not, should do the tric. Or just your own eyes, and address node makes a visible blue spot on the slippy map.
