Street name list for a specific area

Hi,

Do you know if there is a way to pop out a list of all the street name in a drawn area instead of taking it one by one ?

Many thanks

You can use Overpass and generate a CSV file of names (you will need to dedup the listing). Here’s an example Overpass-turbo query (using a polygon already in OSM, you cant use an arbitrary drawn polygon in Overpass ): http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Ihv.

Thank you for the query Sk53.

Is it possible to add latitude and longitude to the query to generate an area to take road names from? (instead of drawing a polygon?)

Yes just use a bounding box query (overpass-turbo will generate one automatically as default query. The bits you need from the example are the out:csv() bit and the [“highway”][“name”] and the out tags. Like this: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/IiP

Note these queries find all highways including footways so you may want to specific the actual of highway classes used at some point.

Thank you very much, that’s very usefull !

The MyOSMatic allows you to generate maps for printing that include a street name list. Perhaps not exactly what you need, but someone else might find it useful.

Thank you for pointing to the CSV feature.

A variant that deduplicates on the server.

An example how to do that (including deduplication),
and an illustrating example what polygon is searched in, and the documentation.

I consider it a downside of help.openstreetmap.org that one cannot purge neither outdated questions nor outdated answers.
