I have not used the Local Government Information Model (LGIM) previously but I have downloaded the 10.2 version and see that the Road Name component fields include two fields named ROADPREMOD and ROADPOSTMOD that are surrounding the Road Pre Direction, Road Base Name, Road Type, and Road Post Direction components. The data dictionary defines ROADPREMOD as "A word or phrase in a road name that precedes and modifies the Road Name, but is separated from it by a Road Name Pre Type or a Road Name Pre Directional or both." The definition for ROADPOSTMOD is essentially identical, but it appears after a Type and Post Direction. What are examples of values that would be expected or used in the ROADPREMOD and ROADPOSTMOD fields?
It also looks like previous versions of the LGIM had a Road Name Pre Type field. I think was named either ROADPRETYPE or maybe ROADPREFIX and was located between the Road Pre Direction and Road Base Name fields. That field no longer appears in the 10.2 version. The DataDictionary.htm file defines the ROADPREDIR field with an Alias Name, Description and Domain that seem to be messed up and actually are appropriate for the deleted Road Name Pre Type field. The actual design of the ROADPREDIR field is restricted to permitting Road Pre Direction values. The ROADPREMOD description also references a Road Pre Type value despite the fact that the field for it doesn't exist anymore. Was the Road Name Pre Type deleted intentionally?
I also am curious whether I am supposed to follow Locator style conventions religiously with these component fields or if I am supposed to follow street name meanings and local conventions for what abbreviations are to be used. For example, the base road name used by a Locator for West Point Dr is Point and for North Star Ln is Star, but in terms of road name meaning and the way I want them to appear the base road names are "West Point" (the military academy) and "North Star" (the stellar reference star). Must I include the locator version of the name as an alternate name to ensure a locator will find this road?.
Finally,
