mail routes
Letter carrier circuits
Mail routes are the established paths that postal carriers follow to deliver mail within a designated area.
Each route covers a specific set of addresses, whether in urban neighborhoods, suburban developments, or rural territories spanning many miles.
Postal services organize delivery this way to ensure efficiency and consistency—the same carrier typically works the same route daily, becoming familiar with the addresses and residents.
