Summary:

Street = Has businesses, houses, shops and sidewalks. Designed for humans.

Road = Higher speed limit than streets, generally no businesses or sidewalks, as it's just there to connect areas. Designed for cars.

Stroad = A connection between areas that also has businesses. You have higher speed limits, minimal sidewalks and it's dangerous/impossible to cross on foot. The only way to get around to different businesses along a stroad is by car.

If you go to any old town in Europe there are a lot of roads with practically no cars. You can just walk along this wide road through the town fit for dozens of people. The problem is not that there aren't enough pedestrian sidewalks, the problem is everything in modern infrastructure is being made for cars, and roads are seen as both meant for pedestrians AND cars.
