  When street/road/avenue names are eventually posted, 1. the lettering is too small to be read from a distance; 2. the signage is so low it can be covered by a vehicle in front or side.

  Naming streets after the natural features of the areas they run through should be the default naming praxis. It is after that that we can designate specific streets to be named after prominent people. A street that passes by a prominent hospital can take the name of that hospital. There should be many ways of naming streets.

  READ: "...I still remember the young man who came trying to find my house and drove to the gate three times, read the address clearly on the gate post and left because he said he had been told I had a brown gate but he saw a green one..."
  
  
  WE SAY: That is a funny one!
  
  We imagine like any new culture, street and location naming and recognition must be acquired, with some education, learning, and TIME!
  
  But the money must be used wisely, effectively. Permanence of results is expected. And we'd expect workers are capturing precise geographic coordinates for each address and intersection.
  
  So, the "Street Names" and "Street Addresses" are more permanently pressed in the records and memories, even as Gates and Buildings that have not been painted since independence, since they were built, acquire new deserving coats of paint.
  
  Greetings!
