A Road is a way made for travelling between places by horseback, car etc. A Street is a public paved road in a city or town,esp a paved thoroughfare with buildings along the sides. Elaine x.(and a Dictionary !)

I live in house. Which is in a Lane, to me a Lane should be a quiet place, but nope its the main road to Ashford.

a road conjures up the image of buses,lorries and vans roaring past your front door 24/7.........A street would be quiet.

I am so glad you asked this question as I was only thinking it the other day :-), but I wanted to know it about a street, road, way, close, and avenue :-) Karen

Dunno either Lems as I live in a Close. Could be Budgie!

I think it is all in a name, although I think if I was pushed to find a difference I think that a road goes somewhere whereas a street is simply a collection of houses. :-) Keith
