Address details

The purpose of addresses is to facilitate the activities of operators and residents and to ensure access for rescue services and other critical services. The municipality of Tuusula is responsible for determining and numbering addresses within the municipal area.

Address numbering in Tuusula

The municipality of Tuusula assigns official addresses to all buildings located within its territory.

Official addresses can be found on the Tuusula map service.

Address plates

The building’s address must be clearly marked and must guide emergency, maintenance and other traffic to the property.

  • In the town plan area, address numbers and letters must be illuminated.
  • If the building is not visible from the road in a sparsely populated area, the address number must be placed at the beginning of the driveway, more than one metre above the ground.
  • More detailed instructions on address plates can be found in the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities' recommendation "Municipal Address System".

Address numbers in town plan areas

  • New plots will be given indicative address numbers once the town plan has been confirmed.
  • The address will be confirmed when the building permit is granted.
  • The address numbering must be in order by the time the building is inspected for commissioning.
  • The address of co er plots is usually determined by the road from which access to the plot is gained.

Address numbers in sparsely populated areas

  • The numbering is based on the distance of the building or junction from the starting point of the road.

Numbering systems in Tuusula

  • A 10-system is used, in which the address number is based on the distance from the starting point of the road. The last digit is removed from the distance in metres. For example:
    • Jokelantie 856: approximately 8560 metres from the start of the road on the left-hand side.
    • Ututie 23: approximately 230 metres from the start of the road on the right-hand side.
  • The 100 system is used on Hämeentie, which continues to Nurmijärvi. The last two digits are removed from the distance so that the numbering remains consistent between municipalities.

In some areas, the numbering may differ from the system, for example due to old urban numbering or combinations of planned and scattered settlements. In this case, the numbering has been adapted to the existing situation.

Naming of roads

  • Roads in sparsely populated areas are given names upon application if there are at least two inhabited properties along the road.
  • The approved road name must be clearly distinguishable from the names used in other municipalities in the Easte and Central Uusimaa region.
  • Names can be suggested in the application, but the municipality makes the final decision on the suitability of the name. For example, Kirkkotie is already in use in 270 municipalities, so new names are needed.

Private map services and navigators

  • The municipality of Tuusula is not responsible for the content or errors in private map services such as Google.
  • Google's information is not based on official data and may be inaccurate.
  • The local authority sends official addresses to the systems of the Digital and Population Data Services Agency, from which, for example, the emergency services can obtain the correct information.

This ensures that the address numbering and information for buildings in Tuusula remain up to date and accurate.
