Carlsbad Local Customs

In many (but not all) American modern cities streets are named by numbers: there is 1st, 2nd, 3rd STREET etc. etc. till sometimes 200th or more. I wander in which American city is the largest number street hehe (1000th?).

FROM my friend Palo_Verde:
The street where I work is 20480th Street -:))

Usually streets are parallel to each other. Avenues are perpendicular to streets and named the same way: 1st, 2nd AVENUE etc.
Usually the main streets/avenues are those of lower numbers (often 1st street/avenue). In many cities (especially insmaller towns) they name the main street just Main Street.

In bigger cities the streets/avenues sometimes are numbered seperately west/east or north/south of the one (main) street/avenue and distnguished by added "direction" letter: N/S or W/E (north/south or west/east). So you can find: 22nd W Street (22nd W St.) and 22nd E Street - be careful (= read the address correctly) they are surely not close one to each other.

In CARLSBAD street have their own proper names of which the main north-south street is named Carlsbad Boulevard (Blvd) - the road S21 (part of historical Pacific Highway 1 = 101) goes this street.

But in Encinitas (a few miles south of Carlsbad) the streets are numbered by... letters: look at "D Street" sign on my picture.
