In Bangalore only some main roads are named. All the other roads are numbered with main and cross. 2nd cross 3rd main means the door number you are searching is on 2nd cross road near 3rd main road. Almost all the places are given addresses like this and it is very easy to locate, as one main road or cross road may run for some Kms. The Autos will take you easily.

If you are either in jayanagar or rajajinagar, The original meaning ascribed to Main was the main Street, Cross meant a side street"
Now haphazard development has resulted in most places with Cross being main streets and mains being small side streets,
The best way is to Take a route map and read the Ist main and first cross, The rest is easy, Take special note of the fact that some mains and most crosses are dead end,

INSTEAD OF GIVING NAMES TO EACH STREET, MAIN & CROSS ARE USED iN A COLONY THER WILL BE MANY MAIN ROAD & CROSS ('X') ROADS. ACTUALLY, FOR SEARCHING, EASIEST WAY IS, FIRST FIND OUT THE MAIN ROAD. EACH MAIN ROAD WILL HAVE CERTAIN NO. OF CROSS ( 'X') ROADS.
