As with most English words, usage is pretty broad, and both terms could<br>
probably be applied to the majority of streets/roads.<br>
<br>
To me though, a "street" implies a linear entity with buildings
arranged <br>
along it, normally houses, and normally on both sides.<br>
<br>
A "road" implies a linear entity that vehicles can pass along,
normally<br>
including cars.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
mmm, only big streets or everything else. I miss some urban classification the
way "highway" does: for example, urban=primary, urban=secondary,
urban=residential... <br>
