For the purposes of this article, the word "street" shall mean a highway, street, avenue, boulevard, road, lane, alley or any way which provides unrestricted ingress and egress by the public.
All street names within the unincorporated areas of the county shall be approved by board of supervisors. Proposed streets, which are obviously a continuation of other existing and named streets, shall bear the names of the existing streets. In no case shall the names of proposed streets duplicate existing names, irrespective of the use of the suffix "street," "avenue," "boulevard," "driveway," "place," "lane" or "court." Street names shall be indicated on all plats of survey. Names of existing streets shall not be charged except by approval by the board of supervisors.
The names of the streets as shown on the official map of Montgomery County, as adopted by the board of supervisors, shall be the true names of the streets within the county.
At a suitable corner of all streets there shall be placed a standard street sign, as approved by the county administrator, designating the names of such streets.
Houses and other buildings located on streets in the county shall be numbered according to the centenary and quadrant plan. Beginning at the axis of reference and moving therefrom, the buildings and lots upon any particular street shall be numbered from one hundred (100) upwards, allowing (generally) one (1) number for every twenty-five (25) feet. A new hundred shall be begun whenever the particular street is crossed by another street.
Even-numbered addresses are on the north and east sides of streets, and odd numbers are on the south and west sides of streets.
