Here in the Denver metro, the rule of thumb on not getting lost is that the mountains are to the west. Everything here is created on a grid-like map so roads go the 4 directions for the most part. Only problem is that the founding fathers started a retarded rule of keeping the same name to the road, even if there's a giant break in the road. For example, Havana St goes from almost 100% from the north side of town in N Aurora south all the way to Highlands Ranch. But, it breaks off in 3 different spots, even to the point of a big lake in the middle. But, they kept the name Havana on both sides of the lake. So, if you think that you can get from Highlands Ranch up to N Aurora on Havana because, well, it's the same name, nope, not gonna happen unless you can drive under water! Happens EVERYWHERE. Then, in the extreme downtown area of Denver, the roads are actually kittycorner to every other street, so you have all kinds of problems driving in that area.
I hate Denver. It sucks.
