A street is a road in a city, town, or village, usually with houses along it.

You can use street or streets when talking about activities that happen out of doors in a town rather than inside a building.

If someone is streets ahead of you, they are much better at something than you are.

If you talk about the man in the street or the man or woman in the street, you mean ordinary people in general.

If a job or activity is up your street, it is the kind of job or activity that you are very interested in.
