Most areas of most cities have fairly intuitive street layouts, if you learn them.

... in the US.

In Europe, they're intuitive only if you were born there or know a lot of history. (Of course South Parade is further north than North Parade!)

Fair, and thank you for calling me on it.

I get the impression that a majority of LessWrong readers are in major US cities, so I'm leaving it up as useful to them :)
