We have many of the same names around here. But with different endings such as place, lane and drive.
It's not the feds. EMS couldn't find RR 7 Box 391 addresses on gps devices when accessing rural addresses. Street names are easy to find.I wonder how much of this is the Feds making them do it, how much is them overreacting to a supposed Federal requirement, and how much is it just some bureaucrat being a dick about this? The only hits I could find on this subject were this discussion and the Duncan paper article. If this were really happening everywhere, this should be all over the news, because this would be a biggly yuuuuge deal in OKC, Tulsa, and Norman (among other cities).
Yep, you will have to change them all. It's a PITA. We live in Osage county, west side near Ponca City. When they first went to enhanced 911 and we gave them a street address, it was to Ponca City EMS services because that is who responds to ambulance and fire calls.I am hoping my address doesn't change for quite awhile if ever.I will have to contact the banks,credit card companies,car insurance,medical and dental insurance.Also new drivers license and handgun licenses.Probably a few others I can't think of right now.
