DC's street naming scheme is *mostly* regular, but there are exceptions. Generally, all 4 quadrant's streets radiate from the quadrant division lines, with North/South streets being named after numbers and East/West streets named after letters.

So if you drove north from the capitol, you'd be crossing (mostly) lettered streets on your way up.
First, A St (NW on your left, NE on your right), then B St

So, lots of cities have gridded streets or streets with logical naming (First street, Second street, etc)

DC has a couple of pretty interesting street organization features though. First up: Quadrants! DC has 4 quadrants, Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest

the dividing line for the quadrants is a "crosshair" placed directly over the capitol building

every street in DC has a suffix indicating the quadrant. Instead of "1st St", there's "1st St NW"

well that's an interesting distribution
