For these rural properties, driveways can be long and can obscure residential or commercial buildings. Mapping editors should locate address points at the intersection of the driveway with the main road. Addressing authorities should assign the house number according to either the southern-most or eastern-most road name plus the corresponding grid number as illustrated in Fig- ure 8; a possible DLS township section, such as 21-7-26-W4, is described as Section Community Civic Addressing Guide to Best Practices v4.0 6
