Dunno, in one of the two cities i live the street numbering starts on one side, runs all the way through 1,2,3 through the end of that side and then returns on the other side. Which is why the highest street number and the lowest are opposite to each other. In the other i have the funny situation that the entry to the underground garage is 30 numbers lower than the pedestrian entry to the building, all of 15 meters apart...
Apart from that, the starboard/port thing seems to be predominantly an english discussion, haven't had that anywhere else in aviation.
