===Major highways===
Many roads in Weber County are named in a numerical grid system with an street name difference of 800 corresponding to one mile in a similar vein to [[Salt Lake County]]. In April 1947, North Ogden was the first municipality in Weber County to adopt the grid system, resulting in the north/south demarcator (1st Street) being placed in the northern half of the county. The east/west demarcator was selected as Wall Avenue which runs parallel to downtown Ogden.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://utahrails.net/articles/sl-county-streets.php|publisher=UtahRails.net|accessdate=November 3, 2024|date=November 3, 2019|title=Salt Lake City and County Street Names and Numbers}}</ref>
