=== Naming Roads in Urban Areas ===
== Draft Pages ==
Most Cities and towns in Utah use a grid system and streets are assigned a numeric name based on distance from the origin. This section is intended to give guidance on best practices in Utah to name roadways in an effective and consistent manner. A key thing to pay attention to when naming streets in Utah is the leading and trailing cardinal direction indicators.

Streets in Utah may also have a traditional name in addition to the numeric name. When deciding whether to use the numeric or traditional name (Main St, State St) there are several sources to consider The primary source is the postal addresses on that street. If the post office uses a numeric name, the primary name should match the post office. Other sources can be street view street signs, State and county parcel records information, and State or local Roadway GIS sources.
 
===== Alternate Primary Name =====
With local grids being a very efficient way to navigate urban areas in Utah, there may be a desire to add numeric alternate names to named streets. While this does make the map seem complete, it serves no navigational purpose in Waze if the numeric alternate is not recognized by the post office or county recorders office for a parcel other than supplemental information to other editors, especially in residential areas. Every good rule deserves an exception, and for mapping primary roads and above, there may be a good reason to add numeric alt names to these roads.  Since most Waze searches by address will be based on what the postal address is.
