to clarify a bit of terminology for people who don't follow this problem closely:

If we agree that a "street" goes through a town and has houses, businesses, schools and the like along it that people are constantly going into and out of,

And a "road" is a higher-capacity vein with a higher speed limit that links clusters of places that are kilometers apart,

A "stroad" is what you get when your urban planning policy is "more car capacity always good" and put your houses, businesses and schools scattered along the edge of a high-capacity high-speed road that's too dangerous to cross, walk along or bike on, and where pulling in and out of destinations causes constant traffic jams.
