Seems strange that no one mentioned that numbers on the curb are

address, put the number on a clear spot on the front of your house, or
nail them on a tree, a fence, a mailbox, but make sure that they are
about at eye level.

When I lived in So. Cal., I saw many houses with numbers painted on the
curb (black on white). I found it far easier to locate the house,
especially at night, because they showed up well and were in a
consistent location.
