The numerical system for the Avenidas is used but some have names that are more commonly used such as Avenida Libertadores or Avenida de Los Faroles. Each address consists of a series of numbers, for example: Av. 4 #12-24. This indicates that the building on Av. 4 is 24 meters from the junction. The city's avenues are numbered both east to west and west to east, starting from a central avenue numbered 0 (Avenida Cero).
