arlington's local numbered and named streets are not through streets, except for a few streets in north arlington, and thus each number or name can appear multiple times at multiple locations in the county but always according to the grid. for example, there are several 12th streets south or north kensington streets in various areas of the county. in cases where more names are needed to avoid confusion in areas of denser street construction, numbered (east–west) streets are first designated "street", then "road," then "place," and in one instance, "avenue". for example, 37th street north, 37th road north, and 37th place north are all in the same general area. named (north–south) local streets follow rules regarding initial letter and syllable number but there can be multiple street names with the same initial letter number of syllables, almost all ending with "street". for example, north kenilworth street, north kensington street, and north kentucky street are all in the same area.
