You still haven't solved the left/right problem. For example, house numbers
are commonly even on one side and odd on the other. How do you indicate
odd/even with the "from...to" structure you mention without using left/right
(or some equivalent)? Or what about bus stops which are only on one side of
the road (arguably a more difficult problem)?
