| From WVSAMB Handbook | Numbering interval. This is the standard interval in feet used to assign consecutive property numbers along a road, regardless of whether or not a structure is at every interval. The standard numbering interval in the West Virginia 9-1-1 Addressing Standards is 10.56 feet, which provides 1000 numbers per mile (500 odd numbers and 500 even numbers). Using the above interval provides a means for emergency responders to quickly calculate the location of an emergency caller. For example, the address 2346 Oakwood Road is approximately 2.3 miles down the road on the right. The use of a standard interval for assigning property numbers also provides sufficient room to assign unused numbers to future structures built between existing ones. (Did Mason County misspend 911 Fee money to adopt a non-standard addressing interval? I wonder why Mason County's 911 ordinance doesn't specify an addressing interval.) |

| ? | Mason County is one of five (5) counties whose address numbering scheme is not the standard 1000 numbers per mile (500 on each side of the street). Mason County (Chuck Blake) chose to have 2000 numbers per mile. If your address is 3800 Podunk Street in Mason County you live 1.9 miles from the intersection where Podunk Street begins. In a properly numbered county, 3800 Podunk Street would be 3.8 miles from the intersection where Podunk Street begins. |
