On the Fediverse, Christian Lawson-Perfect asks :

Who can find a street with a number in its name that’s bigger than the number of any building on that street?

Well, it’s not hard to find Million Street in Athens, Tenessee, for instance.

Then there’s Billion Dollar Road in Conewango, New York.

But that’s small change compared to Trillion Street NW in West Salem, Oregon, which is… probably one of the smallest streets in the world:

I haven’t found Quadrillion Boulevard or Quintillion Parkway. But there is this:

“Not a number!” CL-P objects. Well, fair. Not a real number. But what about surreal numbers ?

Description of { 0, 1, 2, 3, ... | } = ω and {0 | 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, ... } = ε from Wikipedia article on surreal numbers

If you allow them, maybe Omega Avenue in Austin, Texas is better:

You can also find streets whose name contains a number smaller than the number of any building on that street, such as Epsilon Street in Gallup, New Mexico:

Though Zero Avenue in Bonanza, Arizona, USA is slightly better.

Anyway, BRB, going to build a short street and name it TREE(3) Lane.
