   Usage: {Way}, {Street}, {Highway}, {Road}. Way is generic,
          denoting any line for passage or conveyance; a highway
          is literally one raised for the sake of dryness and
          convenience in traveling; a road is, strictly, a way
          for horses and carriages; a street is, etymologically,
          a paved way, as early made in towns and cities; and,
          hence, the word is distinctively applied to roads or
          highways in compact settlements.

                All keep the broad highway, and take delight
                With many rather for to go astray. --Spenser.

                There is but one road by which to climb up.
                                                  --Addison.

                When night Darkens the streets, then wander
                forth the sons Of Belial, flown with insolence
                and wine.                         --Milton.
