Some grid cities in the U.S. do even better by naming the named streets according to a system, such as alphabetizing them (Portland, Minneapolis, surely others) or by naming them for Presidents in their historical order (NE Mpls.) I'm convinced that there's educational benefits to these systems as well. I literally learned my alphabet backwards and forwards at the same time as I learned my local neighborhood geography.
