street
A road or public: thoroughfare used for travel in an urban area, including the pavement, shoulders, gutters, curbs, and other areas within the street lines. "Strictly speaking, a 'street' is a public thoroughfare in an urban community such as a city, town, or village, ,and the term is not ordinarily applicable to roads and highways outside of municipalities. Although a street, its common parlance, is equivalent to a highway, it is usLially specifically denominated by its own proper appellation .... Whether a particular highway is to be regarded as a 'street' within the meaning of that term as used in a statute must, of course, be resolved by construction " 39 Am.
