前言 Preface
- 門牌多元編制舉例：台中市北區一中街北端：
-
圖中能觀察到：
-
錦新街90巷內之弄， 不編弄， 而僅讓門牌繞進 （多次繞進， 而沒有從對面繞回）。
-
而一中街（圖中央最寬南北街）之巷不編巷， 卻拉轉角之門牌成一串「之幾」， 又這些之幾全單號或全雙號。
-
一中街左右側已不協調百餘號。
這些門牌算較新（初編：_____）， 而展現很有創意的編法。 只是不知道是否比大家熟悉之幾巷幾弄系統好？
-
- 較老的例子有台中市東勢區「東蘭路37號巷」
-
該巷無正式名字，而是裡頭都是37-1號、37-2號… 門牌。
若是我整編， 再也不允許「之」了， 號碼也不准「繞」進去， 而需要建立正常的 XX 巷。 （只是整編擾民， 故先針對新編區域…）
相信都聽過《中和永和鬼打牆》。 門牌同樣嚴重。
-
主動規劃未來的門牌， 非被動的記載現有的門牌 Creating new addresses, not recording old
-
仍堪用就不亂「整編」 Don't "reorganize" still usable addresses
-
整編牽涉深遠不得輕易啟動 consequences far reaching
-
老少各文件必改 all household documents must be updated
-
郵件不達甚至失聯 might even cause broken personal contacts
-
比較台灣路牌拼音遊戲 compare Taiwan romanization follies. 另縣市合併之際， 不先再整合拼音太可惜。 And upon the eve of county/city merging, what a shame to not first fix the romanization.
-
-
-
只是希望在新編的社區，悲劇不會一再發生。 Just hope in newly numbered communities, the nightmare will not reoccur.

溪兩岸同步分段舉例 Parallel sectioning for both sides of river example
路分段為台灣「門牌語言」之一部分， 惟溪兩岸若路長短不同，怎麼分段？
原案：不對稱：
某溪北路三段 | 某溪北路二段 | 某溪北路一段 =========某===================溪========== 某溪南路二段 | 某溪南路一段 |（無路）
建議方案： 允許某溪南路一段不存在以達對稱：
某溪北路三段 | 某溪北路二段 | 某溪北路一段 =========某===================溪========== 某溪南路三段 | 某溪南路二段 |（無路）
(Can we sometimes start counting from other than 1 for the sake of symmetry?)
（很不幸， 台中市政府沒聽我的建議。）

台中市市府路例 Taichung Shifu Rd. example 2025.
問： 中華電信（電信局）在市府路 37 號。 那麼某飯店， 市府路 38 號， 應該在其對面吧？
Q: The (Chunghwa) Telephone Company is at 37 Shifu St. So the hotel, at 38 Shifu St. should be right across the street, no?
答： 不。
A: No.
問： 那麼， 即使馬路兩側門牌獨立增加， 但從零到三十， 兩側不會差太遠吧？
Q: Well it can't be too far away right? I mean both sides of the street started at the same place, right? So even if they count independently the gap can't be that far for only thirty numbers, no?
答： 400 公尺。兩側精神分裂。 賽馬但左腳跑得比右腳快。
A: 400 meters. We're talking Married Filing Separately. Split personality. A horse whose left legs run faster than its right legs.
問： 怎麼造成的？
Q: How did such a mess happen?
答： 我猜必定是當時， 戶政事務所派 Laurel and Hardy comedy team, 一人一邊， 你單我雙， 沿馬路， 見到建物就給號碼， 不見到建物就不給號碼。 欲預留就會被罵【浪費號碼】， 或【沒法源依據】？
A: I suppose it must have been the local Household Bureau, back then, sending out the Laurel and Hardy comedy team, left side of the road: Laurel (odd), right side of the road: Hardy (even). See a building, assign a number. Don't see a building, don't assign a number. Want to reserve numbers just in case they will be needed later for future buildings? Back then they would only get in trouble, for "wasting numbers" or even "no basis in law".

花蓮市例 Hualian example 2009.12.25
自博愛街口（Ｂ）尋２１０號，對面（雙）看不到號碼， 只好憑單號面估計雙號。 走至終於見到１６８號始知全冤枉的路， 目標原來離出發點幾步而已。 我又遭台灣左右門牌失恆戲弄。（即使有載門牌號碼輔助索引之路牌， 我們切入點不見得是在一個路口。）
Starting at Boai St. (B) and looking for 210, we don't see house numbers on the other (even) side of the street, so we use the odd numbers as a guide. We end up walking all the way until we finally see 168, and realize that our goal was just a few steps away from where we started... Taiwan's independent left and right side of the street street numbering victimized me again. (Even if street name signs with those well meaning address indexes are provided, our entry point might not be at an intersection.)
新路應號碼左右對稱、 固定距離／號碼比例、 平行的路門牌同步。 New streets need right/left number symmetry, constant distance/number ratio, number coordination with parallel streets.
從以上故事讀者也無法判斷我到底繞了多遠。 台灣的門牌是那樣， 距離無把握。 From the above story the reader is also unable to estimate just how far this diversion took me. That's Taiwan's addressing -- no handle on the distances involved just from reading the numbers.
台灣有的路口設有載兩邊門牌號碼索引的路名牌， 但是無路口段也多。 At some Taiwan intersections there are street name signs bearing number indexes for both sides of the road. However stretches with no intersections are many too.

40642 台中市 北屯區 和順路 Heshun Rd. 單 1 至 443 號 40642 台中市 北屯區 和順路 Heshun Rd. 雙 2 至 396 號
同一路段需要登錄兩次，因為左右邊門牌不協調。 Here we see the same section of road needs to be specified twice, as the numbers on each side have grown at different paces. （今已六碼區號， 我未再查。） (Now codes are six digits long. I didn't check again.)
(396+443/10=440.3 可見此對稱是直接由於 「後面丟掉四」 惡習造成的。 四可丟，但對面也要丟一丟些號碼，否則跛腳。 Here we see the dissymmetry is a direct effect of the throwing out of numbers ending with the superstitious "unlucky 4". One can throw them out, but one needs to also throw out some numbers on the odd side of the road, else we hobble our legs.)
同區同時存在某路無段及有段的， 例如台中市北屯區崇德六路、崇德六路一段。 居民抱怨信件常送錯。 Even in the same district there exist Some Rd. Sec. 1, and Some Rd. (with no section). Residents report letters often go to the wrong address.

全面預留 Complete reservation

早期戶所輕易發牌 Legacy "point and shoot" numbering, so easy for household bureau workers:
1 3 5 ========<-路 road->========= 2 4 6 8 -
蓋滿後果 but later fills in to become a mess:
1-1 1 1-2 1-3 3-1 3-2 3 5 ========<-路 road->========= 2 4-1 4-2 4 6 8 8-1 8-2 8-3
失敗之跡：幾之幾（之幾）（巷！） （似漢字六書「會意」）， 廣告附圖 Marks of failure: 12-2(-2)(Lane), little maps attached to ads
-
應先預留 Instead, reserve numbers from the start of the project:
5 21 25 ========<-路 road->========= 2 12 14 16
-
法定預留惟要百分百預留：水邊、橋、灘、崖，始達「萬年」門牌 Reserve 100%, bridges, water edge too, better than just legal minimum. Only then get addressing to last "10000 years"
-
留號不代表興建權 Number reservation doesn't imply building rights
好處 Advantages
-
不再因看不到對面之門牌而下錯了公車 No more getting off the bus at the wrong stop just because you couldn't see the house numbers on the other side of the road

「路巷弄號」，或及延伸， 能找到最偏僻山寮， 亦不需帶圖！ With the road/lane/alley/number notation, and extensions if needed, one can find the most rural of shacks, without a map too!
可用某路２１１街３１１巷以增一層。 弄內再分怎辦？ 亦有路寬╱路名規定。 Can add another layer with 311 Ln. 211 St. Some Rd. How to split finer than "alley"? Also there are some road width/name legalities.

採一公里四百個號碼 We use 400 numbers per km. 恰台灣建築法規最低寬度五公尺 just as the Taiwan minimum legal house width of 5 meters.
-
關鍵於我們一路維持固定號碼與距離比例， 比門牌規則之僅預留更強。 The key is we maintain a consistent number/distance ratio, beyond current Taiwan legal requirement of mere number reservation.
不管目前是工業區， 住宅區…， 全國一致。 Same no matter if it is currently industrial or residential zoning, etc.

It turns out 75-1 was next door all along.）

勿輸於圖 Don't lose on the map
台北市昆明街未分段， 但此圖巧合產生「昆明街 二 段 昆明街 二 …」假象。 故不但路牌路名要做好， 希望人家做地圖也要做好。 Taipei's (Taibei's) Kunming St. is not divided into sections, but this map accidentally makes it look that way. Therefore one hopes map makers will make good maps to compliment our efforts on the ground. （圖：臺北大眾捷運系統捷運站轉乘公車資訊手冊 5/2005 63頁）
根本沒掛 Forgot the signs
發現有的鄉鎮市，路名是有的，但很少掛，房子門牌亦然。 那麼大的建設但最後薄薄標示牌都不重視…
There are some towns, the streets have names and the houses numbers, but there are hardly any signs. They've built the infrastructure, but don't seem to think the final thin little signs as important...
愛國路名 Patriotic road names
亦能系統化 We can also make systematic:
-
路號、名， 也跨界 Street numbers / names, even across administrative boundaries
-
敬佩台中縣市之崇德路。 新路才好做
-
台北街道號碼錯 Taipei nicknumbering wrong
-
-
室號 Room numbers
-
路牌拼音 Romaization (所謂政治／高層問題 politicized)
-
人名 People names (哈哈 ha ha)
總結 Summary
-
求齊。 門有對聯， 門牌也要對聯 Order please
-
使短短的地址傳達最大訊息量， 亦看得懂 Maximize the amount of information that familiar sensible little address can convey

預防勝於治療， 發牌用頭腦， 找牌免惱。 Using a little brains when creating addresses will save a lot of people a lot of brains when finding addresses

台灣的門牌（與馬路的對面）對不起（人民）。 （戶政）人在做，天在看，改天別人也要看（得下去！）
附錄：救災 Appendix: Emergency preparedness
門牌號碼永遠重要 Addresses will always be important
報案不是都自動用手機定位嗎？ 還要門牌號碼幹麼？ For reporting incidents aren't your cellphone's coordinates automatically sent? So why still bother with addresses?
是的， 但萬一火場太熱， 或快爆炸， 或附近有歹徒， 故我們已遠離。 那麼我們仍需要能夠形容另一個我們現在不在之地點。 Sure, but what if the fire was too hot and about to explode, or had bad guys lurking about? So we had to get far away. Hence we still need a way to refer to other places where we are not currently at.
上次朋友氣喘。 幸好門牌已在市府系統， 座標又正確， 救護車才不偏不倚抵達現場。 （谷歌地圖則不見得可靠。） A friend had an asthma attack. Good thing my address was in the city government's database (with correct coordinates too.) The ambulance was thus able to arrive without getting lost. (And no, Google Maps cannot always be trusted.)
電桿定位 Electric pole coordinates
除了掌握所有門牌號碼位置之外， 連基層派出所必須能夠依報案中任何地號、 電桿牌號、等迅速找到位置， 而非待所屬單位上班查詢，或只不停電時才能查詢。 Besides having complete knowledge of the location of every address, even the most basic police station must be able to quickly locate any land parcel number, utility pole number, etc. they have been given, without needing to wait until the working hours of the bureau it belongs to, or for power to be restored.
2009年起，消防單位已開始利用電桿上的座標做鄉下報案輔助… From 2009, the Fire Department has been incorporating using the coordinates on Taipower poles to assist in reporting rural incident locations.
除雙胞胎門牌 No duplicate addresses
雙胞胎門牌很危險。 報案光靠門牌不行。 26_28_30_30_32_34 上行救護車停左棟。 下行救護車停右棟。 地圖亦難顯示兩個。 看到請向戶政檢舉。
