B-B-But my highway to hell
Guess I'll have a Hell district that can only be accessed via highway.
I like the solution of creating a Streetsign model where you can change the name and plop it.
Or even a new building field where if you can click on a building and enter a streetname and it appears on the side of the building like a streetsign.

An overlay like the districts, but just for streets sounds good enough to me. It'll just have to snap to the streets/roads.
that would be interesting as you could make a 'district'/street name and apply policies to just that, like no parking, or only high rise buildings etc). If you made it 'no-stopping' then it could be part of your strategic highway network, or even put in a bus, cycle or emergency lane.

I kinda like this idea. Makes it easier to make no parking, no heavy transport or even no cars, except emergency vehicles streets. and maybe some other rules i cant think of ATM.
I love the traffic management part of the game and can never be satisfied with enough options and configurations.
Should be definitly be part of a Traffic DLC/patch
So many ideas for traffic and street planing!

I agree. There's TONNES of stuff that can be added for traffic, and I'm hoping that CO adds more to it as the game ages.
At least we have to use this feature to honor the Dev Team - 13 streets named after that fine men and women who brought us this magnificent game will be found in my first city definitly! ^^
I suggest renaming all houses to "[street name] [number]". That's not very much work \s
Then first you need to define "street" and that is a big challenge as you can read in the posts before ...
After five hours of giving every house a name and number and you realize they get replaced.
You could use the district tool and paint just the length of the street and name it.
Can only support renaming streets! But there goes a question: if I renamed a building but it get's replaced with newer one, will it keep the name? Most likely it will not.
It possibly could if the new model inherits from the base model.
Depends how they coded it.
I would NOT use a brush to name streets. This would add so much more complication than is necessary to accomplish the task.
Think about it. A street has a beginning and an end. Two points. Why do you need a brush? What happens when part of that street gets demolished and then rebuilt? Using a two-point system of naming solves those problems. You lay down two points, and the game creates a route between them that then becomes "the street" you're naming.
Now you can destroy/rebuild street sections, and as long as you don't destroy the endpoints your street name remains intact.
The only complication you might need would be adding waypoints in case there are multiple possible routes and the game picks the wrong one.
Next problem: house numbering.
