Bustrophedic numbering is *the norm* in relatively 20th century cul-de-sacs
which were built in one go. When these cul-de-sacs have been subsequently
extended, the extension has to be given a different street name (Dudley Gdns
/ Fielders Clo HA2 is an example of this). Complex branched cul-de-sacs
always seem to have the lowest number on one side of the sole entrance, the
highest number opposite, and every house one higher and one lower than its
two neighbours (Leigh Hunt Drive in Southgate is an example of this).

I think your page should include a section for "Triskaidekaphobic Streets" -
the only one I've noticed was either Wilsmere Drive or Whitegate Gdns HA3.

I`m posting from a bustrophedically-numbered 35-year-old cul-de-sac.
