(A) Required. All thoroughfares, which means any surface which is designed for vehicular traffic, including, but not limited to, expressways, limited access highways, streets, roads, avenues, boulevards, courts, terraces, drives, and lanes, whether public or private, including private thoroughfares located in any building development, shall be named.
(B) Approval by city. Names must be approved by the city to be proper and suitable for public display and use and should not be the same as, or similar to, the name of any existing thoroughfare within the area so as to be confusing and delay the response time of the fire, police, and other emergency vehicles. The owner of any thoroughfare shall erect a sign at each intersection, displaying the name in accordance with the current standards.
(C) Unnamed thoroughfare; correction; notice. The owner of a private thoroughfare which is not named shall make the necessary correction within 30 days after receiving a notice specifying any violation and any corrective action that is required.
(D) Direction of thoroughfares. Thoroughfares will be generally on a north-south and east-west grid system. Angular thoroughfares will be reviewed based on their general direction.
(E) City dividing lines. Center Street will be the dividing line between the north and south. Main Street will be the dividing line between the east and west. Therefore, the center of the city will be at the intersection of Main and Center Streets.
