So where Americans name the streets, the Japanese name the blocks. You wouldn't like at 1170 something road, you'd live at House 1, block 1100. Find it fascinating.
Where I live, the streets are laid out in grids, forming neat blocks. The streets run N, S, E, W with the numbering arranged N or S of an e/w axis, or W of the street forming the boundary between the municipality and the city next door.
1100 North Something Road is eleven blocks north of the E/W street which is the axis.
800 W is eight blocks from the eastern city boundary.
If you are directed to the Dominos at 800 W, 1100 N, you know exactly what intersection to go to.
If you lived at 1170 N Something Road, you would live on the east side of that street, on the block whose numbers start with 1100. Even numbers are on the east side of the street, odd on the west.
Numbers start at the next 100 increment at the new block. Even if that last house number on the 1100 block was 1182, the next house north across the intersection would be 1200.
There are not that many houses on the E/W streets, but several businesses. Odd numbers are on the south side, even on the north.
