What is the difference between a street, avenue, road and boulevard?

Whats the difference between a street, road, avenue, parkway and boulevard?

  • Answer:

    It's one of those things which vary a bit from country-to-country, but have become less clear in all countries as time has gone on. Generally: A street is a narrow, urban road (more of a British thing). An avenue is some kind of throughfare, used by lots of people to travel across the town, usually with several lanes and a barrier down the middle. A parkway is a road which is a bit more scenic, often lined with trees. A parkway can also be somewhere where people can change between several modes of transport. A boulevard is a cross between a parkway and an avenue, designed to make driving better (more of an American and French thing) These are all different types of road, and I'm sure there are many others too.

I think of a parkway as a limited access highway that does not allow trucks or buses because they're too narrow, windy, and have overpasses that are too low (that's how it is here in NY). I think of a boulevard as a road with a pretty tree-lined median although I know that's not always the case. The others are the same in my mind.
