I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!
I wonder if developers do this out of spite.
All it does is make it to where there is a HIGH chance for packages and mail to be misdelivered. Nobody wants this… whoever was the developer needs to have someone else do it if they are that lazy.
Naw. The house numbers don’t repeat between street names.
What in the ever living hell…
What in the actual fuck
And coming soon our new expansions: Archers Wood Street, Terrace, Boulevard, Crescent, Mews, Brow, Parkway, Place and Square.
Person ordering pizza: “My house is definitely on Fallingbrook Dr.”
Narrator: it was not.
was it on “Fallingbrook Dr” or was it on “Fallingbrook Dr Fallingbrook Dr”
Dr. Fallingbrook Dr
“On the corner of Fallingbrook and Fallingbrook. Not that corner, the other one.”

Trying to decide if this is better or worse than countries that don’t use street names. On one hand there’s no confusion, but on the other the addresses get pretty long.
No confusion you say
N 6th E St
E 6th N St
Yeah, not a fan.
That intersection looks awful also. E 8th N is right there. Imagine trying to follow directions:
“Go South on N 6th St E and as soon as you pass E 8th N turn west on E 6th St N.”
Go home N 7th E St, you’re drunk
makes you wonder who designed this. R2-D2?
DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.
This is extremely common in Calgary.
I was thinking the same thing! Our packages are always getting delivered to a Rise, Place, etc
Doxxed
Gottem boys
My hometown has an intersection of Miller Ave and Miller Ave.
That’s just the road continuing in a weird way.
Try this one, Seyton Dr. intersecting with Seyton Dr.
In San Francisco, 15th St changes into 8th St before intersecting with 16th.
In Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, the streets King and Weber intersect 3 times.
Shit like that blew my mind first time I really travelled outside of Tulsa, OK. If you’re not too bright, it might take me 20-minutes to explain the whole grid. ONE page of instructions will land you anywhere you want to go. Numbers crossed by names. Even the numbers crossed by numbers make sense.
Clearly marked signs, everywhere. A quick glance will tell you which direction you’re travelling. On a side street 1 block west of Harvard? Yeah, Marion runs all the way through town, and it’s always 1 block west of Harvard.
Travelling doing Y2K updates, “Fuck you mean the corner of Green and Grass?! How the hell am I supposed to know where that it?”
Reminds be of living in and near Atlanta GA and trying to find Peachtree.
You need to add some street numbers. You can do this by walking around with street complete and entering data.
This was google maps, and it was being used though my municipal traffic cam website, so it’s quite a stripped down version of gmaps (not even store names show up 😂).
Ah, my bad
Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?
In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.
Each street starts the numbers again.
Is this not the case where you are?
why would the house numbers be different?
To make up for the similar street names, of course. The start number of a series of street addresses is a totally arbitrary choice afaik, especially when there’s a chance the street might grow in either direction in the future.

Yes, this is a thing, but not always.
In my own subdivision all the residential streets start with the same letter, and the housing numbers are in the hundreds (300, 400, 500, etc.), even though the streets are short. None of them start at 1, or even 10, or even 100! … there’s no rhyme or reason, but it does cause confusion when you have several “630” house numbers all in the same area but on different streets that are slightly different.
