Yes, they do.
I can't think of a city that uses a Cartesian grid with negative numbers. Even streets with numbered grids use West and East. Think of Manhattan and its numbered streets.
I was going to use Calgary as example, but its system works differently, with the directional component of the street name indicating the quadrant of the city.
I used to live in Bogota, which has a very straightforward system. Except, they had a street numbering reorganization a few years back so, at least when I lived there, each building had two addresses- a 'new' in bigger numbers and 'old' in smaller.
