Painted over..

It is well know that Ammani’s still don’t use their street addresses, preferring instead to say “take the fourth right after Abu Ali’s grocery. We’re the third house after the pharmacy. You’ll find a Mercedes parked in front of the door”.
Maybe this is why the person who painted this wall simply decided to paint over the street name. If nobody uses them why have them?!

    Or you can say that street names are so hard to memorize so this guy decided to use “the-street-with-no-name” when drawing his maps.
    Streets naming and houses numbering are really bad :-

    I’ve moved to Amman from Vancouver, BC, Canada and let me tell you… i love it here! However, I do tend to have issues with street names :/ I can hardly find my way around with directions such as the aforementioned! I think the government should take the liberty and urge people to use street names and house numbers. I promise it’ll be easy once you get the hang of it :)

    Cheers
