Isn’t this a standard in parts of North America too? Although probably using feet instead of metres.

I think that this is usually implemented as a thousand numbers to the mile.

From the small number of US cities I've been to, it seems to be 100 numbers per block and roughly divided up between whatever's there. Sometimes evenly spaced, sometimes starting from 1 at one end at 99 at the other and a free for all in the middle.
