I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!

Person ordering pizza: “My house is definitely on Fallingbrook Dr.”
Narrator: it was not.
“On the corner of Fallingbrook and Fallingbrook. Not that corner, the other one.”

was it on “Fallingbrook Dr” or was it on “Fallingbrook Dr Fallingbrook Dr”
Dr. Fallingbrook Dr
And coming soon our new expansions: Archers Wood Street, Terrace, Boulevard, Crescent, Mews, Brow, Parkway, Place and Square.
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.
Actually they do.
Funny that Archers Wood happens to resemble a penis.
That planner knew what they were doing
Everything reminds you of him.
What in the ever living hell…
What in the actual fuck
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
makes you wonder who designed this. R2-D2?
Pretty sure that’s Salt Lake City, Utah, US.
Soooo… the f*ing Mormons. They wanted people to know where they were in relation to the center of their blessed town, which is of course where the main tabernacle (church) is.
Soooo… the f*ing Mor

Go home N 7th E St, you’re drunk
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.”
just put the last part in all caps when you otder pizza
This is extremely common in Calgary.
I was thinking the same thing! Our packages are always getting delivered to a Rise, Place, etc
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?”
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
Doxxed
Gottem boys
DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.
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.

Working as a delivery driver in A Wrinkle in Time?
Reminds be of living in and near Atlanta GA and trying to find Peachtree.
Check out Drive, Way, Cove, and Lane… creativity off the charts.
Isn’t the problem here just that whoever is speaking in OP’s title has failed to say Road, Drive, Avenue, etc? As long as they do that there shouldn’t be any problem with the streets having similar first parts of their names.
Yes, but I can see situations where someone who isn’t aware that there are a dozen Fallingbrooks might see the first one and assume the person gave them the wrong street type.
But no one gives half a street name when sharing their address
I buy a lot stuff on buy and sell websites, so I’m picking up at people’s homes quite often.
You’d be surprised how many people give out the wrong address. Like saying road instead of street, or not saying that their home is the north section of that street.
In an area where all streets are named similarly, it causes confusion. Even delivery drivers, a.k.a professional address finders, can get messed up.
Even when someone says “123 john street” and you don’t realize there’s a john street in every municipality around you, you’re basically guessing unless you caught this missing detail. 😂
Fair enough. I guess I’m expecting people to be more sensible than some are! 🤣
No problem as long as everyone’s memory is perfect. If I lived there I’m sure people would get it wrong or get confused very frequently. I definitely have people I know whose street name I remember, but can’t recall for certain if it is “st” or “rd” or “dr”
Least idiotic suburban planning.
