Oklahoma City Police Department Major Street Hundred Blocks Practice Test

When you see a street address described as a block on a particular street in a quadrant, you’re looking at a precise location defined by two parts: the block number and the quadrant. The 1200 block identifies the specific segment of Main Street, telling you which block of that street you’re on. The NE indicates the city’s quadrant, narrowing the location to the northeast portion of the grid. Put together, they pinpoint a single block on a named street, which is more exact than just the street name alone or a broad range. It isn’t an intersection, since that would specify crossing streets, not a single block.
