As any kind of linguistic regularization, especially connected with English, is of at least tangential relevance to Esperanto, I would like to offer the following quote from Wikipedia:
“The streets and avenues in Miam-Dade County are aligned to a grid, where streets run east-west and avenues run north-south.”
Regards,
Mike Jones

Phoenix
Years ago, I worked doing astronomy assemblies at elementary schools using a portable planetarium. It was a wonderful experience that gave me the opportunity to travel all over. One challenge was to find the schools in strange cities in time for the start of classes.
One year, I was in the Southwest and spend several weeks in Phoenix. We found the address of the school -- I can't remember what it was anymore, but it was in the high thousands on a particular street. Since Phoenix is laid out on a grid, we assumed it would be a no-brainer. But when we got to the address, there was no school! We looked and rechecked everything and noticed that it was actually something or other AVENUE not Street. It turns out that in Phoenix the Streets are East of center and Avenues are West. We had to go to the far, far, far side of the other side of town! We made it, but only barely. :-)

Whenever I go to Germany, I'm
Whenever I go to Germany, I'm reminded of the fact that a subway or train is NEVER late, and that if it IS late, the driver's dead :)
Off topic, but not really :)

such mentality
That was the mentality behind the worst aviation accident in history: Tenerife, 1977. As someone commented,
“The Teneriffe crash happened because KLM's most senior pilot got impatient and attempted to take off before the other jumbo had cleared the runway.”
Here’s the link to the Wikipedia article on it:

Aviadil-akcidento
Ho ve . . . tiu artikolo pri la kolizio inter la du aviadiloj estas preskaŭ tro trista por tralegi. Nekredeble katastrofe.

eĉ pli hororiga
Eĉ pli hororiga akcidento (laŭ nombro de mortintoj) estis, ke ok cent (800) homoj dronis, samtempe, kune, nur dek metrojn (10 m.) for de la tero. Tio okazis en Chicago, en la jaro 1915. Temis pri marmalinda ŝipo nomata “Eastland”. Jen estas la ligo al la anglalingva Wikipedia-artikolo pri tiu tragedio:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Eastland
Ankoraŭ eĉ pli hororiga akcidento estis, ke mil homoj, plejparte virinoj kaj infanoj, pereis en rivero kiam la marmalinda ŝipo sur kiu ili estis brulis ĝis la akvo-linio. Tio okazis en NovJorko, en la jaro 1904. La ŝipo estis nomata “Slocum”. Jen estas la ligo al la anglalingva Wikipedia-artikolo pri tiu tragedio:

Germanujo
Hmm. Mi neniam rimarkis tion en Germanujo. Kompreneble, mi neniam ESTIS en Germanujo, eble tio rolas en la afero.

La germananoj
La germananoj estas tre precizaj kaj laŭordaj, kiel sia lingvo. Laŭ mi, ĝi estas tre amuza ĉar mi estas duona ĝermana, sed mi perdis multe da la precizo kaj laŭordo. Eble oni povas kulpigas mian ALIAN duonon! :)
(Germananoj faras bonajn inĝenierojn ankaŭ!)
(Deutsche machen gute Ingenieure.)

Estas bone-konata spritaĵo
Estas bone-konata spritaĵo tiu-rilate, nome, ke, se vi petas la direkton al la poŝtoficejo en Francio, oni informos vin, kaj vi dankos ilin, kaj vi ekiros, sed se vi petas la direkton al la poŝtoficejo en Germanio, oni informos vin, sed kiam vi dankas ilin, ili krios al vi “Forgesu la dankon! Ripetu la instrukciojn!”

nur "germanoj"...
Ne necesas (aŭ sencas) aldoni "an" al "germano", "brito", "polo", ktp. :)

other examples
That's not uncommon; Manhattan is famous for streets running east/west with each block north increasing the street number by 1, and avenues running north/south.
I've been in developer subdivisions where not only was there a grid, but the streets had names in alphabetical order (e.g. Apple Street, Banana Street, Carrot Street, or whatever - I don't remember specific names).

Esperanto is also not uncommon
If you can call that uncommon in the US, then you could call Esperanto not uncommon in the US. I think a more accurate description would be a “salubrious trend”. Let’s consider some of the worst cases of the most common situation. I didn’t mention “TheRoads” exception to the Miami scheme. And here is a quote about Boston (from the web):
“The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury. Due north of the center we find the South End. This is not to be confused with South Boston, which lies directly east from the South End. North of the South End is East Boston and southwest of East Boston is the North End. Backbay was filled in years ago.”
