Street (honestly, I never could figure out the difference between the different types of streets: Roads, streets, avenues, boulevards...)

Road
(Here you go: what's the difference between a road, a street, an avenue and a boulevard? You're welcome.
Basically, a ‘road’ is anything that connects two points, while ‘streets’ are public ways which have buildings on either side. Avenues, meanwhile, have the same attributes as streets but run perpendicular to them, while a boulevard is essentially a wide street (or avenue), with a median through the middle. A lane is, predictably, smaller.)

(It is still amazing that our language felt it necessary to devote several words to differentiate what are all pretty much the same thing.)
