# 1. List of street names

## Step 1: Create a local repository for your city 

Ask a technical lead to fork the project from [here](https://github.com/openknowledgebe/equalstreetnames/blob/master/docs/replicate.md). If you don’t have a technical lead, please email <equalstreetnames@openknowledge.be> and we will do our best to help you.

## Step 2: Generate a list of the street names in your city

In order to know how many streets you’ll be working on, you need to do a query on <http://overpass-turbo.eu/> and export it as .CSV.

**The query can be found** [**here**](http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/129j) **or as followed:**

```
[out:csv(::type, ::id, name, "name:fr", "name:nl", wikidata, "name:etymology:wikidata")][timeout:120];

// Mons: Code INS 53053
( area["admin_level"="8"]["ref:INS"="53053"]; )->.a;

(
  way["highway"]["name"]["highway"!="bus_stop"]["highway"!="service"](area.a);
  relation["type"="associatedStreet"](area.a);
  relation["type"="multipolygon"]["place"]["name"](area.a);
  relation["type"="multipolygon"]["highway"]["name"](area.a);
);

out body;
```

**Explanation:**&#x20;

* INS"="53053: Statistic code used for Belgium. This code will differ abroad.&#x20;
* Way\["highway"]\["name"]\["highway"!="bus\_stop"]\["highway"!="service" : asking the street names expect from buses or services (example: a very small way used privately for a garage)
* Relation: Attention, you need to query for both ways & relations as it’s two different ways to record streets in OpenStreetMaps.

**Once this is done:**&#x20;

* Export the document in .CSV&#x20;
* Delete all the doubles. OpenStreetMap streets are sometimes recorded into different ways (different fractions of the streets), meaning that it can appear multiple times on your CSV document.
