Various names for roads. Are there translations?

Question

As we know in the English speaking world, we tend to call roads and streets; Street, Court, Boulevard, Avenue, Drive, etc.

Is there a translation for COURT, as that is the name of my street or do I resort to CALLE?

Interesting question tranceslyvania. I'm looking forward to reading the answers :-) - 0095ca4c, Jun 11, 2013

Answer 1

Well, if it is in a big house such as Hampton Court, 'palacio ' would do.

If it is around an open space, maybe 'plaza'?

Really, I fear it may have to be just plain ' calle' or ' avendida' .

Answer 2

A "Court" is not a street or road or highway or avenue or boulevard or throughway(thruway) or turnpike or tollway or lane or carriage lane or service road, and so forth, in English.,

But it is used to "name" a place with a road in it. I live in one. - ian-hill, Jun 11, 2013

Answer 3

In Utah they have something called a "ranch road".

Answer 4

A: Tin Pan Alley--take that!

B: Mulholland Drive--take that!

Answer 5

Not to confuse the name of a street or road with the way itself or the address that marks it. Also note that when it comes to naming in some English-speaking countries, everyone wants to live in a "court" or "place" or "close" but almost no one wants to live in an "alley", even though alley is closer to street or road than court.

Tin Pan Alley :) - ian-hill, Jun 11, 2013
