Interesting and maybe useful to me - if UK taxonomy is similar. However:<p>&quot;Avenue (Ave): may have trees on one side, perpendicular to streets&quot;<p>I can&#x27;t think of a sensible tree&#x2F;road relationship in which the tree is not perpendicular to the road direction. Does this make sense to anyone else?

Where is this for? I can&#x27;t think of anywhere I&#x27;ve lived in the northeast (NJ, NY, PA) where this strongly applies.<p>Here&#x27;s one: I live on a &quot;Drive&quot;. It&#x27;s road built through townhouse complex. Pretty much the exact opposite of what I&#x27;d call &quot;long, winding road shaped by natural environments&quot;. It connects to a &quot;court&quot;, which is another road through the complex that most certainly does not &quot;[end] in a circle or loop – like a plaza or square&quot;.<p>Edit: &quot;Road&quot; isn&#x27;t even on this list!<p>2nd Edit: I&#x27;ve consulted some traffic engineers. I&#x27;m genuinely curious to see what they say.

A freeway has no stop lights or stop signs; traffic is free to move along the entire way.<p>An Interstate is a freeway that is part of the Interstate Highway System.

I added a Google Map at zoom 16 or so for customer addresses in the backend of an ecommerce store to help improve deliverability. These addresses are primarily in the USA and I set it to the tilted &#x27;drone&#x27; view. This seems to be a world that is always sunny. I am constantly taken aback by the geometry of some of the places that show up in this map view, often a &#x27;crescent&#x27; informs you that the address must be correct because it is a &#x27;crescent&#x27; that you expect the pin to be on, the shape visually confirms things nicely. &#x27;Crescent&#x27; is an obvious clue but you would be surprised with what registers at a glance to confirm the address is likely to be correct.

Then of course there&#x27;s Avenue Road in Toronto en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Avenue_Road<p>And the awful Stroad <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.strongtowns.org&#x2F;journal&#x2F;2013&#x2F;3&#x2F;4&#x2F;the-stroad.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.strongtowns.org&#x2F;journal&#x2F;2013&#x2F;3&#x2F;4&#x2F;the-stroad.html</a>

I lived on 72nd St in Queens. The next block was 72nd place, and there was a 72nd terrace since renamed after someone.

I found it amusing they gave this definition:<p>Turnpike (Tpke): usually an expressway with a toll booth<p>but there is no definition of expressway listed.

I read a page on this quite recently (but can&#x27;t find it right now); however the definitions were somewhat different - iirc, a road connects two places, a street is perpendicular to a road, avenue is perpendicular to a street.

My childhood home was on &quot;Eighth Street Drive.&quot; It&#x27;s a two block long strip that is about ten feet shy of connecting with Eighth Street, so they slapped a different name on it.

How about a &#x27;Common&#x27;? My town has given to naming roadways like:<p>Winding Ridge Common<p>Maple Leaf Common<p>Etc.
