That code just mentions addresses – doesn’t say anything about street naming. I searched for that but couldn’t find anything. (For reference, the City of Portland street naming code is here.)
I don’t think this is a new thing. If you look at the RLIS data you will see that some of the segments that don’t carry the prefix haven’t been modified since 2008, or earlier.
And make sure to pay attention to the fact that Clackamas County still carries the prefix, so along the City of Lake Oswego boundary you will see where the road name will not carry the prefix, then carry it, then not carry it again.

RLIS is maintained collectively by the authoritative agencies for those areas.

Subject: Re: Lake Oswego has dropped the "SW" directional prefix from their road names
Hello all,
Brett and Meredith are TriMet employees who have been adding sidewalk tags and service streets in the Metro area. They've also been doing some incidental cleanup (e.g., removing old TIGER tags), and these prefix changes were a part of that effort.
Apologies for not checking with you all regarding proper prefix standards for Lake Oswego before beginning this work! We were unaware that Lake Oswego had this ordnance, and will happily fix this. I looks like most of the Lake Oswego streets in RLIS don't have prefixes - we can rely on RLIS as an authority on this issue, right?
Also, I will ask them to put more information up on the OSM user profiles soon.
On an unrelated note, are you all aware of the upcoming renaming of 150 streets in Hillsboro?
Happy holidays,
Madeline

I think the name difference is indeed about the prefix. "State Street" has a north section, but it isn't "Shore Road" with a north section.
That code says that ordinance went in in 1996. I wonder why the push now to remove the prefixes? Just curious!

As I edit in Lake Oswego, I have been removing the "Southwest" directional prefix from road names and also making the value of addr:street for the addresses along the road match the road name. It appears that there's a coordinated effort to repeatedly copy RLIS road names into OSM overwriting what's there, thus undoing many of my changes.
OSM usernames are cwilley106, "Meredith Rider", Brett_Ham
Does anyone know who is coordinating this effort? None of the above users have any information on their OSM profile page.
I think this is the actual Lake Oswego law:
Oddly, they consider "North State Street" and "South State Street" to be the only street with a directional prefix, but mention "North Shore Road" in the same sentence. Maybe the "North" in "North Shore" is not officially considered a directional prefix. In practice, this law means that street signs with "SW" are being replaced with signs without the "SW"
Thanks,
Peter
