Residential Place City

Post by PTaylor_US
My understanding is that roads that are physically outside of the borders of a city or CDP are to be marked as No City instead of using the mailing address city for the area. Does that hold true for residential place markers as well or should the full mailing address be used? Since people put addresses in as a full mailing address, it seems to me that the latter would be best.

An immediate example that comes to mind is segments on the boundaries between two cities. The primary street name belongs to one of the two cities, but the address are split depending on which side of the street they're on or even how far along the street they are as the border crosses the road several times in multiple places.
Since Alt-Names are now available for search, roads that run along the border (like you describe above) should have an Alt-Name containing the second city and the primary street name.

USPS address should be what's in a Place's address.

PTaylor_US: you are correct
