House numbering is a system used to identify buildings on streets and in neighborhoods. Each house is assigned a unique number, which helps emergency services, postal workers, and visitors locate specific addresses easily. Typically, odd numbers are placed on one side of the street, while even numbers are on the opposite side. The numbering usually starts at a designated point, such as a main intersection or the beginning of a street. In some areas, the numbers may increase as you move away from this starting point. This organized approach helps maintain order and clarity in urban planning and navigation.
