tänavaaadressi

Tänavaaadressi, meaning street address in Estonian, is a fundamental component of locating and identifying specific places within a geographic area. It serves as a unique identifier for a building, property, or residence, enabling postal services, emergency responders, and individuals to navigate efficiently. A typical Estonian street address consists of several key elements. The primary component is the street name, followed by the building number. For instance, "Viru tänav 5" indicates a location on Viru Street, specifically at number 5. In some cases, additional information may be included, such as an apartment number or building block designation, to further pinpoint a specific unit within a larger structure. The use of standardized street addresses is crucial for the effective functioning of various systems, including mail delivery, property registration, and emergency services dispatch. Accurate and clearly written street addresses are essential for ensuring that information reaches its intended destination without delay or confusion. The development and maintenance of comprehensive street address databases are ongoing processes, often managed by local municipalities and national mapping agencies to ensure accuracy and up-to-dateness.
