What is the convention where the houses only have names?

I have just added a road segment to wave, on which all the houses are listed as being on the parent road:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lon=-1.41428&lat=51.60986&layers=677&zoom=7&segments=288478925

[The road isn’t very obvious on the satellite image, but it is there, and there are around 8-10 houses on it.]

However, all the houses on it have names, not numbers. For example, the final one is called “Hazelbury”. (Official address: Hazelbury, Station Road, Grove, OX12 7PF). I can’t find a way to add this as a house number, so how to I add houses to this road to indicate that it is a real road that people live on?

Hi and welcome to Waze.

I believe in the number field you can only enter whole numbers (integers), ie only using 0 to 9, so no 3a or house names etc.

I believe the only way to add house names is via a place point, however I would suggest that unless you know for sure which house is which then I wouldn’t bother because the postcode points to the road you just added so people should be able to find it OK.

I would mark the road as private and remove the street name because IMHO Station Road is the main road not this little private drive.

There will be some senior editors along soon who might be able to give you better guidance.

Hi, welcome to the forum, ntadmin. :slight_smile:

As Andy says above, adding Place points is the only way to get the house names on the map.

Be sure to have a look at the UK Wiki for advice and guidelines about other matters.

OK, thanks, I’ll do that and add the houses as I am sure which one is which!
