consecutively down one side, and then back up the other.
But that presumes that the street has an end at which to reverse the numbering, which older streets did...but not here in midwestern America. Streets normally keep their names over intersections with other roads, sometimes for miles clear into the next town. North Territorial Road goes what seems like forever! And Michigan Avenue (also known as Route 12) goes from the center of Detroit at least, west through Ypsilanti and on past Ann Arbor.
On the other hand, the intersection of the numbering grids can lead to some funny situations, too. My house is on a quarter-circle... and has three numbers. This is on the N/S section, but when you walk south and it bends to become an E/W street, the house numbers switch to the other axis of the grid, which at that point is in the 2000's!
