Pupil, for the most part is seen as the same thing as a student. It's a bit more of a traditional word. Some say that it's more appropriate for environments where the students aren't actively learning, like in daycare or preschool.
Street and Road can be debated. Usually, you would refer to a "street" if you were in a more densely populated area. Like, if you lived in a subdivision with a hundred houses, you could say that someone lives a "few streets over." I use "Road" around here because I'm in the country more, and the houses are very far apart. Still, these two terms can be debated.
Recognize is more like "Acknowledge" or "understand to exist. For example, you can recognize Israel as a country, or you can recognize someone from down the street. But, you may not KNOW the country of Israel very well, or you may not KNOW the person you saw down the street.

You can be a student without being a pupil. A student studies (may or may not have a teacher). A pupil learns from a teacher. A pupil is one kind of a student.
A street usually runs through a town or city. A road may be in a town or it may be out in the country where there are no homes, businesses, blocks, etc. A street is one kind of a road.
To recognise means to realize that you know. To recognise is one way of knowing.

Wikipedia!
Pupil, one who is taught by a teacher or instructor.
Student, one who strives to learn more, may do so without guidance.
That guy's pupil is so stupid she didn't learn anything, nor dis she want to.
Street: Road with sidewalks and or houses.
Road: Public way for passage of vehicles, person and animals.
recognize: accept as or applying something you know onto something that appeared unknown
Know: something you learned or met before.
It is all in context and sometimes the two blur, or have become confused in modern language. I KNOW nobody,but i recognize lots of people, including myself. If You know a person (can you ever really say so) you would recognize them when they got close enough to see their features.

Formality for student and pupil... the road and street is just the same... And recognise means that you know what it is... while know usually refers to information

Picking a bone here, I know... Recognise vs. Know:
Consider that you are taking a school test. You are asked an objective question [i.e. multiple choice, true-false, matching] and you can recognize the answer among the choices, but if it was a subjective-style question, you would not know the answer.

The differences for those words is semantical, and depends on context and placement. But the english languge is a myriad of languages melting into one, thus so many words for the same contextual idea. Gotta love it
