Cars, buses, trucks (lorries), motor cycles belong in the street.

A building, kiosk, newsstand, or traffic sign is on the street .

When you arrive, you arrive at the street .

We need more information about your language skills to help you better.

No sabemos cual idioma usted entienda.

Dicen cosas diferentes. Para mi se usa 'in' con 'la calle' para actividades pero se usa 'on' para referir a una posición.

Los niños están jugando en la calle.

The children are playing in the street.

Dibujó en la calle.

He drew on the street.

'At' se usa con una direccción especifica.

They live at 23 Lovely Lane, Metropolis City.

Dicho esto hay diferencias regionales entre BE y el inglés americano. Yo hablo BE y creo que IA usa más 'on' para mi primer exemplo de actividades.
