I knew it. Utah really, really loves naming their streets like this.

If anyone's in doubt, you can see it for yourself. Open an online map and zoom in on any city, or even town, in Utah. Just pick one at random - they pretty much all have streets with a name of some number + some direction. It's honestly kinda of impressive.

Editing before comments inevitably arise:I'm not saying all streets are named this way, but that streets of this naming scheme exist in almost every city/town. It's an important distinction, and the existence of other streets makes the regularity of the number + direction schema no less impressive.

I think it's pretty much universal OUTSIDE of town to have this variety of address.
