5.3.3.1
If, in legacy Records, a Street Name of a type 1 Street overlaps a Street Name on the opposite side of the Street, the extremity points of the Streets are not coincident. A section of that Street is associated with both Streets, see Figure 1.
5.3.3.2
If two Streets overlap by 10m or less, then the extremity points of the overlapping Streets remain coincident and the Streets are not recorded as overlapping. If the overlap is more than 10m, then the following procedure must be applied:
- The ESUs must be broken at both extremity points in order that each Street can consist of whole ESUs, with one or more ESU being common to each Street.
- The Authority Street Custodian must decide which one of the overlapping Streets is the Street to be identified for EToN Notices and the Street to be included in the list maintained under s36 of the Highways Act 1980. This is shown in the type 61 Interest Record.
- The Street allocated by the Authority Street Custodian must have in the type 61 Interest Record a Street Maintenance Responsibility STREET_STATUS = 1 – Maintainable at Public Expense for the Whole Street.
- The other Street must have at least a two-part Street Maintenance Responsibility using the following:
- STREET_STATUS = 5 – Street outside scope of EToN. This is for the section of Street which overlaps.
- STREET_STATUS = 1, 2, 3 or 4 (as appropriate). These are for the remainder of the Street.

For more information about Street Maintenance Responsibility, see Section 16.
5.3.3.5
A type 3 Street must not be changed to a type 1 Street. If a type 1 Street is recorded as a type 3 Street in error, then the Street must be closed and a new USRN allocated as a type 1 Street.
5.3.3.6
For information about how to enter a type 1 Street with a PRoW designation, see Section 8.
