How far is a block in most U.S cities ? |
Travel Info is there any measurement for that. how far is a block in San francisco. i thought i had an understanding of that. after being in san francisco i got confused. Travel Tips It is about 264 feet by 900 feet (about 80 meters by 270 meters), or slightly over five acres (two hectares); and in some U.S. cities standard blocks are as wide as 1/8 mile (660 feet or approximately 200 meters), or 10 acres (about 4 hectares) if square. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/city_block... Other Travel Tips This wikipedia article indicates that there is no strict U.S. standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/city_block... On average a city block is around a quarter mile. a block generally ranges from 1/10 to 1/12 of a mile. If you are travelling on one of the numbered North-South avenues in New York City, there are 20 blocks per mile (that is, you cross 20 numbered East-West streets per mile). |
