The associatesStreets does not say anything about access.
(There are other ways ment to explicitely give hints about
 access.)
It says something about addresses. That this is house-number
12 of Street A and not house-number 12 of street B.
(think of a house at a corner or between 2 streets or a named
footway to some backyard crossing the interpolation-way.)
