For numbers incrementing by two, these numbers are assigned to parcels of approximately 10 metres in length for urban areas and approximately 20 metres for rural areas. For the Dominion Land Surveys (DLS) areas see Section 3.2.1. Conventions for assigning address numbers along a road vary between even or odd numbers depending on the road and circumstances (e.g., crescent, cul de sac)— either numbering on the north or south, or on the east or west sides. us, the pri- mary guideline is to consistently assign even address numbers along one side of a road and odd along the other. We suggest to check with the provincial department of municipal affairs since guidelines may vary in provincial jurisdictions. Likewise, North–South and East–West patterns should also be maintained across a munic- ipality, and also for roads that extend beyond a municipality's boundary into its neighbour.
