N 6th E St

E 6th N St

Yeah, not a fan.

[-] cranakis@reddthat.com 9 points 9 months ago

That intersection looks awful also. E 8th N is right there. Imagine trying to follow directions:

"Go South on N 6th St E and as soon as you pass E 8th N turn west on E 6th St N."

Go home N 7th E St, you're drunk

makes you wonder who designed this. R2-D2?

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure that's Salt Lake City, Utah, US.

Soooo... the f*ing Mormons. They wanted people to know where they were in relation to the center of their blessed town, which is of course where the main tabernacle (church) is.

It's actually Mountain Home, Idaho. I have no idea who came up with that system. When I lived there 20 years ago they were talking about changing it. But it still remains to this day.

Even still, at least you have a chance of finding the street if you drive around enough. I have no fucking clue how anyone found anything before smartphones when street signs just don't exist. Imagine living at this random little street and trying to give directions to get there

[-] hactar42@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

So, I'm old enough to have driven in that forgotten time before smartphones. A lot of directions were based on landmarks. Like...

Go down the street until you see the house with the big tree with a swing in it. Take the second left after that and follow until you get to the corner where the Stop and Go used to be (it's a 7-11 now). If you hit the highway you went too far.

Basically if you couldn't read a map well, you got lost a lot. That and you could pull into any gas station or even better a pizza place and ask them for directions.
