Navigating central Washington

So easy to get around here as the streets are lettered and numbered. All you have to remember is that the lettered streets run from south to north and the numbered streets run from east to west and you basically know your way around. Confused somewhat by the diagonal avenues and a couple of other streets through in but this is the basic pattern.

Having timed second countdown timers on most of the pedestrian crossings also helps. I was allowing 12 seconds as the minimum needed to cross a road but have been informed that 8 seconds is all that is required. Pedestrians tend to gather in the first lane waiting to cross rather than waiting on the sidewalk which appears dangerous to me but haven't seen anyone hit yet ...
