Description
Many highways have a local name and a numbered state, county, interstate number. When the reverse geocoder returns an address on one of these, currently it arbitrarily picks one alias preferring ones that have names and higher alphabetically. Some people don't like that (like the company paying me for this change).
This will be a new entry in geocode_settings table called: reverse_geocode_numbered_roads
Which will be an integer that has value 0, 1 , 2
0 - don't care just give me some name for this road 1 - Prefer the numbered alias 2 - Prefer the local state or county name for road
This will also require change to reverse_geocode function to check this setting and act accordingly.
