Of course, you could have the English street/road naming convention.....
As these roads have been in use since Roman times, many streets have as many
as 5 names....
For instance, many roads going into London are often referred to as London
Road, and are as often referred to as the name of the city from which it has
come as well! The half-way point is often the point at which is referred to
as the other, though that is not always the case. The same road will
also have the more modern letter numbering system,
as well as local variations for the road as well! (I.E. M for Motorways, A
for major
arteries, and B-roads, which are minor roads). There are also local
variations for
the road name, either High St or whatever.
Example- the A40, near me, is also known as the London Road, Oxford Road,
and also
has a number of minor names as well, depending on which section you are on!
