Numbered street : ウィキペディア英語版 | Numbered street :''Not to be confused with Route number A numbered street is a street whose name is an ordinal number, as in ''Second Street'' or ''Tenth Avenue''. Such forms are among the most common street names in North America, but also exist in other parts of the world, especially in the Middle East. Numbered streets were first used in Philadelphia〔Rybczynski, Witold. "City Life". Simon & Schuster, 1995.〕 and now exist in many major cities and small towns. Grid-based naming systems usually start at 1 (but sometimes at a higher number or even at zero), and then proceed in numerical order. In the United States, seven out of the top ten most common street names are numbers, with the top three names being "2nd," "3rd," and "1st" respectively.〔''Census and You'', February 1993 (United States Census Bureau, Geography Division), as reported in "(Most common street names )", National League of Cities.〕 Some cities also have ''lettered'' street names. For example, Washington, D.C., in addition to having numbered streets, also has streets identified as a letter followed by "Street," going as high as the letter W. New York City (mostly in Brooklyn) has avenues titled "Avenue" followed by the respective letter of the alphabet, such as Avenue D. The idea for such a system was developed by Pierre Charles L’Enfant, who devised the system for Washington. The numbered street system is criticized for taking away the individuality from a community that a named street would provide. == United States ==
