I love when some of the streets just go “Grid? Screw THAT” and do whatever they want. Pictured: W 4th Street intersecting W 11th Street in New York; 3rd Street intersecting 16th Street in San Francisco. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯pic.twitter.com/qYa4OKxlnl

That's crazy. Here in Edmonton we enforce a strict grid system, changing the name of streets when they turn a corner. **looks at map more closely** Um, nevermind. (Not pictured, the part where 113 St turns into 114 as it crosses 72 Ave which is partly 71 ave across the street.)pic.twitter.com/G3fI9254Iv
But the part that really confuses visitors are all those NW in the street names. This is south-central part of a city designed to be centered around 101 St & 101 ave. But eventually they ran out of numbers in the south and east, so now 90% of the city is "northwest".
