Not to mention the habit of some municipalities here to clarify the name 
of the street on a separate line. Or what about Belgian bilingual signs,

Rue
  actual name

goes at the beginning and in Dutch it goes at the end.

ZIP code systems are not always of the "one number for a big block of 
houses/streets" variety.
