What is a "stravenue"?
A stravenue is a type of road that runs at an angle, connecting a street and an avenue. It typically crosses these roads diagonally, offering an alternative route for travel and improving the flow of traffic. Stravenues are often found in cities with irregular road layouts, where they help to break up the grid pattern and create more direct paths between different parts of the city. These roads can provide better access to various areas by connecting streets and avenues that might not be directly aligned.
Examples
The store is located on a stravenue near downtown.
He took a shortcut through the stravenue to avoid traffic.
