  Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Many streets are bracketed by bollards or Jersey barriers so as to prevent passage unless on foot; this is often done in a city's busiest areas, the "destination" districts, when the volume of activity outgrows the capacity of private vehicles to support it.
However, a street is characterized by the degree and quality of street life it facilitates, whereas a road serves primarily as a through passage for road vehicles or (less frequently) pedestrians.
Street performers, beggars, patrons of sidewalk cafés, peoplewatchers, and a diversity of other characters are habitual users of a street; the same people would not typically be found on a road.
