Because most of their big cities were built by settlers that established something quickly and according to a plan, unlike most big European cities who used to be small villages that grew larger and larger.

We have numbers and names. Really common roads tend to get names and be refereed by it.

We use the grid system which makes numbers much more efficient. Also we use both.

I'd rather have numbered streets than fucking traitor's names like "Avenue Tiers", "Boulevard Jules Ferry"
Not a single Robbespierre or Pétain street. These faggots make me sick to my stomach

in most US cities the 'streets' and parallel to one another and the 'avenues' are perpendicular to them.

The streets in big cities like NY, Chicago, LA number up to like 200+ in just one direction. The 'named streets' cut across them and then there are side streets and diagonals.
