「street」の使い方

Our new classroom is on Bank of Japan Street (日銀通り). We use "on __ street" to talk about the location.
Bank of Japan - 日本銀行、日銀 (definition from Eijiro on the Web)
British people say "in Bank of Japan Street", but I think for Americans "in the street" has a different meaning.

Don't play in the street! It's dangerous!

Back in May, the azaleas they have in front of the building were blooming beautifully.

Across the street, there's a Family Mart. It's very convenient, and the manager is a helpful guy. One evening he spent some time giving me advice on how to throw out our cardboard boxes from moving. As it turns out, though, I really did have to put them in the street for the garbage collector.

One street over is Main Street (中央通り), where Mitsukoshi-mae (三越前) Shin-Nihonbashi (新日本橋) Stations are located. Kanda (神田) Station is just a couple of streets up from our building.
one street over - 次の道
