     Type:  defect          |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium          |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.0
Component:  tiger geocoder  |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:                  |

 Case in point:
 SELECT * from reverse_geocode(ST_Point(-71.22484166666666,
 42.303448333333336) )

 Was giving a primary answer of Highland Ave even though I- 95  is closer
 to the point.  This is because the primary answer has no name (is a ramp),
 and the logic is intended to pick the next best street name assuming they
 are unnamed.  Instead it replaces the best answer with the worst that has
 a street
