Question

Street, Avenue, Boulevard
and...
Circle, Court, Culdesac

Answer 1

These are given when the street, etc. is first made .Over time, the area may change but the thoroughfare's name remains the same.
STREET - A public road with houses on one, or both, sides.
AVENUE - a wide street or road.
BOULEVARDE - usually a wider-than-usual street.
CIRCLE - A road or street which commences at a point on "A",
continues on in a curve and ends at another point on
"A".
COURT - Usually are short,residential streets.
CULDESAC - (Cul-de-sac) Actually means "the bottom of a
sack". So its a dead-end street, usually wider at
the bottom end to allow traffic to turn back.

Answer 2

Although the terms are often used fairly randomly, based upon what sounds best, generally street is the narrowest (something like "lane" would be even narrower), usually used for residential or local commercial roads. Avenue might be used for some of the same types of roads, but would also be used for something broader, perhaps something leading from one part of town to another. Boulevard is rarely used (if ever) for residential roads, but usually refers to grand, broad urban roads. You wouldn't expect to find a boulevard in a small town or village.

Among the words for curved streets, cul de sac is the clearest. It refers to an area, generally residential, to which there is only one combined entrance/exit (so that there is a dead end), with homes arranged in a circular pattern with the street in the middle (and the street is round as well). "Circle" could be used for the same thing, but more often refers to a situation in which a road circles around something, either homes, or a natural landmark of some sort. The road here is linear, rather than round like with the cul de sac. Court can be used in a lot of ways. Officially, it means an area surrounded by buildings, but in reality, because of the other meanings of the word, it sounds elegant to some people, who might then use it to describe all kinds of arrangements of thoroughfares.

Answer 3

Circle, Court and Culdesac typically are short dead end streets. Streets, avenues, and boulevards may go for miles.

Answer 4

STREETS & BOULVARD ARE SAME. FIRST IS IN ENGLISH THE OTHER FRENCH. AVENUE IS THE STREETS LINED BOTH SIDES BY TREE.
A cul-de-sac is a dead-end street with only one inlet/outlet.

Court is an English word known since 1175,"enclosed yard," and by extension, perhaps associated with curia "sovereign's assembly", those assembled in the yard; company

Traffic circle, a type of intersection

Answer 5

Street - kind of narrow, Avenue - a little wider, Boulevard - too big

Circle - doesn't always go in a circle, Court - usually deadends, Cul-de-sac - one way in, one way out

Answer 6

depends on the neighborhood/city.

i know innyc streets always crossover with avenues and boulevards are usually diagnol (not always buy usually)
however in boston where i live now there are many streets crossing over other streets.
circle usually like shaped like a circle where more than one block meets.
court i often hear it when its in an apartment complex but i do understand in amsterdam they use court like we often use square.
culdesac is usually smaller and often use instead of court (once again depends on location)
