Doesn't really work around here, either (Nashville, TN area)-- the only reasonably consistent rules here are that numbered streets on one side of the river are "Avenues", numbered streets on the other side are "Streets", and most of the Civil War-era turnpikes have retained their names (mostly named after where they go) and are called "Pikes". Otherwise, we've got "Avenues" and "Streets" all mixed around (running both parallel and perpendicular to each other. "Drives" which are straight, shortest paths between two points without any regard to the natural geography. "Boulevards" that are little undivided two-lane neighborhood streets, and "Lanes" that are heavily-trafficked four-lane roads with medians. Maybe road naming is more consistent in newer, more highly planned cities?
