I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!

        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.

    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.

      That’s just the road continuing in a weird way.

      Try this one, Seyton Dr. intersecting with Seyton Dr.

      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?”

    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 😂).

    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.
