Yeah, but theyre pretty meaningless at this point.
Court is usually a dead end couldesac, but theres a ton near me where that means a street you cant drive down at all, with drive being a culdesac you can drive down.

Its just the shitty "planned development" suburbs that are like that, real cities usually have numbered streets one direction and names of dead faggots the other

As far as I know, I have a unique street name in the US. Problem is, I always have to tell people how to spell it

To get to my house I drive along Harpers road, turn down Union street and then onto Lancashire drive

Not just americans, here in Australia we have plenty of roads and streets, a few avenues, major roads called terrace in Brisbane, courts being dead-end cul-de-sacs, no boulevards to speak of and the odd small one-way road called a lane. I don't see why you wouldn't like to differentiate between types of roads?

North high St, south high St and high St are on separate sides of town and are in no way connected or related in any way.

Well they were sure high when naming that.

There's also a High Street in my home town too.

High St Rd, the arterial that goes from Wantirna South to High St, Ashburton, which goes all the way to St Kilda Rd through Prahran. Makes sense. Wouldn't want the people of the inner suburbs sharing the same street name as those of the outer.

Don't knock the titles, OP- they can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.

Don't know, all I know is- everything else seems coincidental if repeated (Unless it's some significant name or something), Peachtree is gotta be on damn purpose.

"Way" is some of the most elegant suffix.
