Talk:Numbered street

Worldwide view

As far as I have seen on maps, numbered streets are rarely seen outside North America. The concept was invented in and for North America. If you know of any other places in the world where the system is used, please add it to the article. Sebwite (talk) 01:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

So shall we remove the globalize tag? —Tamfang (talk) 18:56, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

please leave the globalize tag on. I'll add Mannheim in Germany which takes it to the extreme by using a real grid to refer to blocks, however maybe there are some more. Lowkyalur (talk) 21:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Here are some samples for numbered streets outside North America: http://terkepem.blogspot.com/2011/07/szamozott-utcak.html --Mapmap (talk) 14:50, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Need for references

I've added a bunch of {{cn}} and {{unreferenced section}} where needed. One question, though. I'm not sure that {{unreferenced section}} is appropriate when the section has a {{see also}} or {{main}}. I couldn't immediately find any policy in this regard, but I could easily have missed it.

I've asked a question over at WP:Help desk § Unreferenced sections with see also or main. YBG (talk) 14:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Highest numbered street

I've removed a reference to 704th street being the highest numbered street, as this Google search seems to show a 708th street. YBG (talk) 05:48, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

San Francisco

In the Sunset area of San Francisco the house numbers are 200 off from the street numbers. Perhaps mention what's going on. Jidanni (talk) 09:48, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Statewide rural road numbering systems

Perhaps mention, for example Burkle addressing system. Jidanni (talk) 09:53, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
