Question: whats the diffance between a street and a road? 

Answer: I always figure a road is a major thoroughway - the surface that most cars take when getting from A to B if they're a fair distance apart.  \n\nA street, on the other hand, tends to be more secluded. Except in smaller towns, you may only go down a given street if your destination is directly on it or right near it.
