In Ar, street maps, at least public street maps, are forbidden, largely as a military precaution. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 28, Sentence #50)

It is not that the streets lack names, only that the names are not likely to be known by strangers. One may inquire, of course. The situation is occasionally complicated by the fact that a street may have more than one name, depending on your informant, and, sometimes, it will change its name, depending on your location, a street having, say, one name closer to the piers, and another name closer to the markets. In Ar, street maps, at least public street maps, are forbidden, largely as a military precaution. The map, as I understand it, precise and reliable, studied behind closed doors, is amongst the subtlest and most potent vehicles of war. Campaigns are conducted, wars are fought, on its quiet surface. It is before the trumpet; it precedes the drum and the cadenced tread of marching men. - (Plunder of Gor)
