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?

After scratching my head for a bit, I think Ew should be EW, and stands for East-West. The town in question appears to have a street grid system similar to Salt Lake City, Utah.

South 00 Ew lies on the "prime meridian" of the grid system, so wheras most streets would have either East or West in the name to signify being east or west of the origin point, South 00 EW gets the EW abbreviation for both.
