Street naming conventions

On December 13, 2009, in Geek porn, by Steve

The naming methods for streets and roads is actually more interesting than you’d think (I’ve been thinking a lot about the patterns of this lately for some reason). Check out this really excellent Wikipedia article for all the gory details.

It’s also worth watching this video to learn a little about the Japanese addressing system.  I realize this isn’t a funny post, but I though it was kind of neat.
