(A) The general rule shall be 1000 addresses per section or “block”, except in certain areas where the irregular direction of the county highways makes variations necessary, and except in the buffer area adjacent to the incorporated City of Batesville.
(B) Even numbers shall be used on the north and east sides of roads and odd numbers on the south and west.
(C) The grid system to be used is to be constructed on a north, south, east and west basis with the starting point of “0” for this grid system at the common section corner of Sections 1, 2, 11 and 12 in Township 7 North, Range 11 East, with each mile portion of roadway becoming a “block” for uniform numbering purposes. Each dividing line is to be known as Base Road. East Road North extends from said intersection due north to the Decatur County line. Base Road South extends from said intersection due south to the Jefferson County line. Base Road East extends from said intersection due east to the Dearborn County line. Base Road West extends from said intersection due west to the Jennings County line.
(D) The Uniform Numbering System is to keep the current official county road numbers and add to them a prefix with a four-digit numerical location followed by a letter (N, S, E, W) indicating the direction, north, south, east or west the road runs from the base lines. For example, 4950E 300N.
(E) Notwithstanding the uniformity and simplicity of sequentially numbered county roads, certain county roads are better suited to be given a common name rather than a number.
