Street names

Names of streets are numbered in some communities. Systematically in Manhattan, New York City, NY State, USA e.g. 42nd Street (west–east), Fifth Avenue (south–north); only Dritter Südgürtel (Third South Ring) in Graz; 1. Straße (and so on) since 1966 – after a visit to New York – in Kematen an der Ybbs, Austria.

In Graz (A) exist further Dreihackengasse (three axes), Dreierschützengasse (3 shooters (?), after a historical military unit) and Siebenundvierzigergasse (47ers, a military unit). In the surrounding of Linz, Austria still exist some of the numbered towers, ancient ammunition / powder depots like Zwanzigerturm (tower #20).

In Klagenfurt (and elsewhere) steetnames remember historical dates by day and month like 10.-Oktober-Straße.
