Create a separate field for road numbers
Whilst the addition of road shields has been excellent, I do think there should be a separate road number category with the road shield only applying to that instead of the street/alternate names. This will allow for a more accurate result with any addresses that are on roads that have a designated number as well as keeping consistency as sometimes the same address can apply to two different road types.
There had previously been discussions in the UK Waze community Discord regarding road numbers and only using them in the alternate address field. Currently this proposal is on hold due issues associated with this proposal, the main issue being the loss of road shields appearing in the client app.
Currently if you apply a road shield to a segment that doesn't have a road number, it will apply itself to all segments with the same name regardless of the road type erroneously.
Also, many primary streets, minor highways and major highways are referred to by their names and not their number including their names which is what many prefer when turning out of streets on to roads which also have a number as well as a name.
My idea:
As I originally said there should be a separate field for a road number (which should be optional to fill) with the road shield only applying to that field. When navigating, the tts should only read out one of the filled in fields. By default it should be only the street name if one has been entered. If the street name is blank, only then it should say the road number if it's been entered.
