How is it decided if something is a street, drive, lane, etc.?

Asked by mangeons (12288points) July 26th, 2011

While in the car with augustlan, we started discussing how there are many different names for a street, such as a road, drive, court, terrace, lane, etc.

Is it the person who names the street who decides, or is there some other deciding factor as to which is chosen for that particular street?
