Ever wonder why some roads are called Streets while others are Avenues, Boulevards, Drives, or Courts? π£οΈ
Those names traditionally gave you a little clue about the road itself. π
A Court is often short or ends in a dead end. A Boulevard tends to be wider and landscaped. A Drive may wind along the natural landscape. And Streets and Avenues were traditionally used for roads running perpendicular to one another.
Of course, somewhere along the way, plenty of cities decided to make up their own rules. π So these arenβt guarantees, but they are fun to know!
Now pay attention the next time youβre driving around Cleveland. How many actually follow the βrulesβ? π
