That's like 30 people in line. It takes half a block and a lane of the stroad to fit 30 people.

    TIL the word "stroad". Thanks. I just looked it up, and it's so much the norm in almost every place I've lived that it was hard for me to even grasp the concept at first. Because that's practically every road. (Although I must say I disagree with how they define street versus road because nobody actually uses those words as being especially different from one another in real life.)

    FWIW I've always intuitively held the same distinction. Streets are walkable and have stuff on them, cars optional but at low speeds if they are there. Roads are not walkable and link up areas for car use.
