>Fwiw, in many countries street names are entirely commemorative with no directional meaning, and house numbers generally proceed sequentially from 1 to whatever with no association with distance or blocks. So an address like 11211 John Galt would mean there are at least 11211 addresses on that very long street.

My house number is 5755.

There are 9 houses on my street (gravel road actually).

Go figure.
