In the US we bit the bullet and regularized addresses (to the county level, which is typically the biggest entity providing urgent emergency services). A rural place I used to live formerly had a named road, that got switched to a number that roughly locates it east to west in the county, and then the house number was set to roughly give the distance north from the nearest crossroad to the south. So anyone that understands the addressing system in the county can basically drive directly to any address without any further information (with perhaps a few short detours where roads don't continue or the like). Of course this works much better in a place that has relatively new properly lines that were drawn based on a regular survey, but I'd think there would be some momentum to at least make things simpler over time.
