How streets, roads, and avenues are different

There's a method to the madness of classifying roads.

A street is a road but a road isn't always a street. A road can also be an avenue or a boulevard—it's the general term for anything that connects two points. From there, the names of roads can be shaped by their environment and/or the form of the road. A drive is a long winding road that can be shaped by mountains or a lake. Place is a narrow road with no throughway. And just as there is no rule book to building a city, these roads and other don't always correspond with their described classifications.

My son just turned 7 and has been asking me for months about road names and all their variations! He is on the spectrum and was hammering me everyday with questions about this topic! We both loved the video! Thank you so much!
