I just hope the house numbers aren’t similar!

Funny that Archers Wood happens to resemble a penis.
I wonder if developers do this out of spite.
All it does is make it to where there is a HIGH chance for packages and mail to be misdelivered. Nobody wants this… whoever was the developer needs to have someone else do it if they are that lazy.
Naw. The house numbers don’t repeat between street names.
A few years ago I was driving in Atlanta and had to turn onto Peachtree from Peachtree, and then make another turn onto Peachtree. But I missed my turn (turned on Peachtree instead), so I had to go back around via Peachtree to Peachtree to Peachtree (but not Peachtree) to get where I was going.
Glad I didn’t turn onto Peachtree, though. That street is one-way and I’d have to go all the way down to Peachtree to get back.
Reminds me of this street sign I saw:
(sorry for the Instagram filter - the photo is from 2011 when image filters were cool, and I don’t have the original photo any more)
Looks like the clarification sign was removed at some point:

Person ordering pizza: “My house is definitely on Fallingbrook Dr.”
Narrator: it was not.
was it on “Fallingbrook Dr” or was it on “Fallingbrook Dr Fallingbrook Dr”

Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?
In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.
Each street starts the numbers again.
Is this not the case where you are?
In my area, we have a grid pattern, so there is one intersection that is the 0/0 mark, and addresses all start from there. Each block is 100 addresses, so the first block North would be 0-99 North Main St, the next would be 100-199 North Main St, and so on. Some numbers are skipped, because I think the address can even be used to know the number of feet from the corner the property starts at.
Now, if a street starts 6 blocks south of the 0 line, it’s addresses start at 600 South Something Road. It takes some getting used to, but once you learn it, it’s really useful to be able to get to a new place without directions.
Some of that is similar in more rural areas here. Property addresses will often be the number of meters their driveway is from the start of the road.
My hometown has an intersection of Miller Ave and Miller Ave.
“Just turn right on Miller, and you’re there!”. 😂
