That's a pretty all-inclusive list. When I think of one, I look for it on your list and it's there

there's so many names here, you could make your own virtual community here. That reminds me of the days when i first played around with geocities in 1997. You would get a url like "geocities.com/SoHo/3235" and the interface to explore other websites within geocities was set up like a little community with streets. You could check out your neighbors at SoHo 3234 and SoHo 3236. It was very cute.

Literally, the interface was an illustration of a street with little houses on it.

I bet you've never heard of a snicket, a ginnel or an 8-foot!

what about a cul de sac

Posted by: lwells on Feb 24, 05 | 11:58 am

The only letters of the alphabet missing are:
ï j
ï k
ï n
ï q
ï u
ï x
ï y
ï z

I grew up in the point house of a cul de sac, but the road was called a "Court"

junction!

Posted by: lwells on Feb 24, 05 | 1:09 pm


You have "route", but how about "rural route" ... abbreviated by the post office as RR followed by the number sign and then a number. Before the street was named "Currier Court", it was called RR #8

Posted by: Tom on Feb 24, 05 | 2:15 pm


junction! that covers the letter j. thanks lwells!

Posted by: spudart on Feb 26, 05 | 8:55 am

There is also a "close" which is a very small street. Used in both UK and NZ.

Posted by: Bryan on Jan 13, 10 | 8:35 pm


"Buildings" is used for some minor streets in the UK
"mews"
"circuit" - very popular in Canberra, Australia

Posted by: Simon on Apr 27, 10 | 11:12 pm


I've also seen Elbow used, as well as Bend and Link, all of these are, at least, in Perth, Australia.
