What Is the Difference Between a Street, Avenue, Road, Boulevard, and More?

There are at least two parts to every street name — the name itself and a suffix. So, in the case of Oak Street, the name would be "oak" and the suffix is "street."

If we asked you to name a few suffixes that come to mind, you'd probably be able to name the heavy hitters: road, avenue, and boulevard, for example. However, there are also many more obscure choices, such as Haven, Light, and Pine.

So, what's the difference between all the names? Do they actually mean anything?

The answer is a little more complicated than you might think.
