I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!

Funny that Archers Wood happens to resemble a penis.
That planner knew what they were doing
Everything reminds you of him.
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.
What in the actual fuck
And coming soon our new expansions: Archers Wood Street, Terrace, Boulevard, Crescent, Mews, Brow, Parkway, Place and Square.
What in the ever living hell…
A few years ago I was driving in Atlanta and had to turn onto Peachtree from Peachtree, and then make another turn onto Peachtree. But I missed my turn (turned on Peachtree instead), so I had to go back around via Peachtree to Peachtree to Peachtree (but not Peachtree) to get where I was going.
Glad I didn’t turn onto Peachtree, though. That street is one-way and I’d have to go all the way down to Peachtree to get back.
Check out Drive, Way, Cove, and Lane… creativity off the charts.
Least idiotic suburban planning.
Reminds me of this street sign I saw:
(sorry for the Instagram filter - the photo is from 2011 when image filters were cool, and I don’t have the original photo any more)
Looks like the clarification sign was removed at some point:

At some point, it’s just easier to rename the damn street, no? LOL
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”
Exactly what you expect from those worthless cul-de-sac planners.
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
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
Doxxed
Gottem boys
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?
In my area, we have a grid pattern, so there is one intersection that is the 0/0 mark, and addresses all start from there. Each block is 100 addresses, so the first block North would be 0-99 North Main St, the next would be 100-199 North Main St, and so on. Some numbers are skipped, because I think the address can even be used to know the number of feet from the corner the property starts at.
Now, if a street starts 6 blocks south of the 0 line, it’s addresses start at 600 South Something Road. It takes some getting used to, but once you learn it, it’s really useful to be able to get to a new place without directions.
Some of that is similar in more rural areas here. Property addresses will often be the number of meters their driveway is from the start of the road.
My hometown has an intersection of Miller Ave and Miller Ave.
“Just turn right on Miller, and you’re there!”. 😂
