>From my personal experience in the USA, skipped house numbers are most
likely to occur on the inside of a curve in a road.  Since there is less
space available on the inside of the curve, and since road-planners
generally want to have the house numbers on both sides of straight
stretches be in sync, they will skip some numbers on the inside of the
curve.  A street with a tight (small-radius) curve will have more
skipped numbers than a street with a very gentle, large-radius curve. 
If the Karlsrue schema doesn't do this, how does it handle curves?  Are
the lots on the outside of curves always significantly larger than those
on the inside of the curves?
