For my money, Parramatta Road in Sydney would have to rank pretty highly
in terms of numbering systems restarting every time a suburb boundary is
crossed (and sometimes even reversing order and counting down again - I
recall there being two properties side-by-side with identical street
numbers [somewhere near Stanmore?])

Mind you, for sheer municipal perversity, there is a section of Ballina
Road in Lismore that has had at least three numbering schemes applied to
the same houses. This is probably in a different category to what you
intended?
