Description
The SimilarNamedWays test just uses Levenshtein distance to determine if ways have a similar name. This is turning up a lot of false positives for the Iceland data (and presumably other locations). In Iceland it's common to have ways in the same suburb that share the same suffix or prefix. For example:
- Fagraholt
- Hafraholt
- Hlíðarberg
- Hlíðartorg
- Hjallabraut
- Hjallahraun
- Nóatún
- Sóltún
- Austurvegur
- Vesturvegur
