Description

There are some streets near https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/17414828#map=16/41.6311/-85.4226 that have fairly difficult names to parse such as:

  • South 00 Ew
  • West South Street (we actually parse this one already)
  • West 060 South
  • West 100 South
  • East 100 South

I'm opening this issue to investigate if we can fix some/all of these.

Can anyone please post a link for what Ew refers to?

Start by examining how the parser handles the street names listed in the issue and the linked OpenStreetMap way. Investigate what “Ew” refers to, then determine the expected parsing for the Indiana examples; the work is done when the affected names parse correctly and regression coverage verifies them.
