Yes, I agree that we should use RPP instead of HN for all buildings not directly accessible from the street listed in their addresses. I have done this for a long time.

Alan is talking about a future development wherein RPPs and HNs will become one system. We don't know which location will remain after that merge.

Here's the diff between the current version of the page and Mark's draft. I'm assuming that only the "Things to remember" section would be changed.

I agree. I would also change
If the house number is already included in the segment, then it should be deleted to reduce potential issues when searching.

If the house number is already included in the segment, it is redundant and should be deleted to reduce potential issues when searching for the address or editing the RPP.

RussPA wrote:One simple rule I usually follow is that if the RPP isn't on the same segment as the HN, I remove the HN for the same, valid reasons you mentioned, otherwise the HN can remain. This was what I meant by "HN and RPP next to each other can remain, only HN with a different stop point from the RPP should be removed", and that easy rule agrees with your examples.
I guess that's what I do too. I just think of picture RPPs as different from RPPs to fix routing, but they're not :D This is a good and simple rule, both to preserve interpolation (not that I've ever seen it work), and also just that removing HNs, where the stop point is the same, is unnecessary, extra work. How about changing that paragraph to these:
If the correct stop point for a house/business is on another road segment (differently named segment) away from its properly labeled segment in Waze, then a Waze house number for that address should not be used. Instead, add a residential point place (RPP) which contains only the address. Be sure to have the number, street name, city name, and entry/exit point in the RPP; additionally ensure the RPP's city name is listed in the primary or alternate name on a nearby segment.

Where RPPs have been added to different segments than where their corresponding house numbers are anchored, such house numbers should be deleted. This will reduce potential problems with searching for the address or editing the RPP. Where RPPs have been added to the same segment as their corresponding house number (e.g. people just taking pictures of their houses), those HNs can remain.

I slightly changed the wording on the last sentence of the first paragraph. I'm cool with your modification of the second.

I think you're right, kndcajun. I saw the same thing recently. HN interpolation works along several consecutive segments with the same name if two are mapped at each end of the sequence. By the way, remember to abbreviate the street name :)
