[talk-au] Streets named Street & similar?

[Andy Townsend]

> Street Lane

That one's pretty common in England - https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/141g .

"Street" in that context means specifically "former Roman Road", for 
example 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/292626979#map=14/53.0352/-1.4247 .  I 
guess they stood out to the post-Roman occupants by being very different 
to the other roads and tracks - not obviously following landscape 
contours or waterways.

There's also one in Wagga Wagga, but I don't think the Romans got that 
far...

Cheers,

Andy
