Where we live, you can get the same house number on, e.g. "North 8th St." and "North 8th Rd." (and possibly "North 8th Dr." and maybe "North 8th Pl.") a block or two apart. It's fairly common to have at least two of those.

And it's maddening. I'd be curious to know if this situation is similarly common.

Tramway in Albuquerque. Most of the streets in the northeast corner of town are named Tramway Something.

Here's a route that starts on Tramway Vista Loop NE, makes a right onto Tramway Vista Place NE, a left onto Tramway Lane NE, a left onto Tramway Place NE, bears left as it changes names to Tramway Circle NE, (makes a left onto Cedar Hill Road NE, sorry!), makes a left onto Tramway Boulevard NE, then a right onto Tramway Road NE, and finally a left onto Tramway Circle NE.

Many of these also have overlapping address number ranges, but I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.

For more, try Peachtree in Atlanta.

I have previously lived on such a street. XYZ Road parallel to XYZ Street
Sounds like Queens NY
I had no idea Queens did that too. I guess it's more common than I suspected.
This is very common in the Phoenix area.
