They do indeed - it’s called RAPID (Rural Address Property IDtification) and is used in most rural areas. For instance a house 5.5 km down a road on the left will be 501. Makes it very easy to find places, all you need is a working odometer.

Also avoids oddities when multiple buildings are build between existing ones at some later point. As there is usually plenty of space to add them.
