(A) On the property numbering map there shall be designated a north-south axis and an east-west axis and all avenues, streets or alleys running generally north and south shall be numbered from the east-west axis consecutively to the corporate limits or the extremity of such avenue, alley or street. Avenues, streets or alleys running generally east and west shall be numbered from the north-south axis in the same manner. One or more hundreds of numbers shall be allowed to each block so that the number of each consecutive block shall commence with consecutive hundreds and one.

Odd numbers shall be assigned to the left side of the street and even numbers to the right side going away from the axis toward the corporate limits.
