What is the numerical designation for Madison?

  1. 200 S

  2. 0 N/S

  3. 150 N

  4. 100 N

The correct answer is: 0 N/S

The numerical designation for Madison is indeed 0 N/S. This designation indicates that Madison Avenue in Chicago represents a baseline reference point for all north-south street designations in the city's addressing system. Streets east of Madison are designated as "East," while streets west of Madison are designated as "West." This system helps establish a logical grid layout for navigation and addressing within the city, simplifying wayfinding and location identification. The significance of the '0' in the designation is that it marks the zero-point or starting line, which organizes the city's street system in a structured way, making it easier for drivers and residents to understand where they are situated in relation to Madison Avenue.
