Address

Hello,
In my city, there are some streets with a name combining with a number eg Farhang 1, Farhang 2, Farhang 3, and so on.
How should I write it in English? Thanks in advance.

Either could potentially be correct. Without knowing local conventions, it is hard to say. Is there the same distinction between "1" and "1st" in the local language as there is in English? If so, which one is used whe
