Avenues run north and south, while streets run east and west. At least that's the case here. Hope this clears it up. I guess if all "roads" were called street or avenue with no alternate name, it would become too repetitious on the language. I never came up with anything more logical.

"Oxford Dictonary of Current English, Third Edition defines "street" and "avenue" this way: Street- "A public road in a city, town, or village." Avenue- "A broad road or path." A "street" is more complex.

Absolutely nothing. That's the answer.
