You are right. It should be about distance, not about position nor
speed.


Maybe that's the aspect that I don't like about the value ``street''
(although my suggested values were no better ;-) ): It indicates
position.

If you talk about scale then a set of ``house_scale'',
``street_scale'', ``district_scale'' or so could become universal
scale specifiers to be used in other situations as well. (Here I
would tend to use ``house_scale'' instead of ``building_scale'',
because buildings can be really large -- as large as streets --
whereas houses are usually within a quite limited size range.)
