Hi Charlotte,
You can use the "dissolve" tool for merging features that have value(s)
in common. In this case the field "name" contains that value.
Go:
Vector >> Geoprocessing tools >> Dissolve...
Remove the check mark at "Dissolve all (do not use field)"
Add the field "name" to unique ID fields list
Run
This worked for me. Only drawback is that all roads without a name were
merged together. If you mind that, you can select and remove them before
running the dissolve algorithm.
Good luck,
Raymond

Edit - merge selected features.

Hello, all,
I created a query for data from OpenStreetMap using
overpassturbo.eu <http://overpassturbo.eu>. I needed major street,
so used the expression highway=primary. The area was a large section
of Los Angeles, about 1/6th of the city, the area called South Bay.
I got the steeets I need, no problem. But, I also got the
street names repeating over and over, because the streets are broken
into segments by changes, such as a bridge or a change in speed
limit, etc., etc.
I am looking for a way to solve this issue, such as editing
the data to remove the names from some of these segments. I have
opened the data in the "Attributes Table," but I can't seem to edit
it there (which would be handy). So, if QGIS does not support
editing a data file, is there some other way to do it?
Thanks!
Charlotte Wolter
