I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!
Working as a delivery driver in A Wrinkle in Time?

Gottem boys
Exactly what you expect from those worthless cul-de-sac planners.
Reminds be of living in and near Atlanta GA and trying to find Peachtree.
The problem with Atlanta is that it’s an hour from Atlanta, anywhere in Atlanta.
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.
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”
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! 🤣
Check out Drive, Way, Cove, and Lane… creativity off the charts.
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
What in the ever living hell…
What in the actual fuck
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.
And coming soon our new expansions: Archers Wood Street, Terrace, Boulevard, Crescent, Mews, Brow, Parkway, Place and Square.
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

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.”
Even still, at least you have a chance of finding the street if you drive around enough. I have no fucking clue how anyone found anything before smartphones when street signs just don’t exist. Imagine living at this random little street and trying to give directions to get there
So, I’m old enough to have driven in that forgotten time before smartphones. A lot of directions were based on landmarks. Like…
Go down the street until you see the house with the big tree with a swing in it. Take the second left after that and follow until you get to the corner where the Stop and Go used to be (it’s a 7-11 now). If you hit the highway you went too far.
Basically if you couldn’t read a map well, you got lost a lot. That and you could pull into any gas station or even better a pizza place and ask them for directions.
Go home N 7th E St, you’re drunk
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 😂).
This is extremely common in Calgary.
I was thinking the same thing! Our packages are always getting delivered to a Rise, Place, etc
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: https://www.google.com/maps/@-37.7452245,144.9774323,3a,22.4y,53.09h,100.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sB6JhYGhT8C1hpozhTfaCxA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
I live on “St.” and have all of the contact info for the neighbors at “Pl.” It’s interesting how often we are in contact regarding mail, packages, food deliveries, etc.
At some point, it’s just easier to rename the damn street, no? LOL
Least idiotic suburban planning.
DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.
