In Netanya there are old signs and new signs.

*Old signs* usually show "street_type  first_name  last_name", and it
doesn't matter if the real (short) street name is the first_name or
the last_name.

For example,  old sign for "sderot binyamin":

compare with old sign for "sderot vayzman":

*New signs*, I think, show "street_type  short_street_name  the_rest",
which usually just means that they show the last name first, and then
the first name. Example:
