It is only a street that loops around a subdivision, at least for suburban homes in the States. Recessed areas on a lane are not turnouts on highways. On some suburban subdivisions, lanes are designed with certain alcoves running along a sidewalk where cars can park so that they would not take space on a lane itself.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThreeKindsOfRoad/cqqrb/post.htm#250535Sun, 22 Mar 2009 22:40:34 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:250535Lcchang1http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThreeKindsOfRoad/cqqrb/post.htm#250535http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-250535.xmlLikeguslee wrote: These designations are usually found in suburban streets in the States, particularly in new suburban subdivisions.

Is a recessed area simliar to a turnout on the highway?

However, Lane is just a pretty standard alternative to Road. It is more commonly used for less busy roads, but could crop up anywhere. Court - I would assume that this would be used for a 'courtyard' type arrangement - a fairly enclosed area with housing and so on, but not a through road (route to anywhere). Circle - presumably the road follows roughly a circular line. It wouldn't need to be a whole circle though.http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThreeKindsOfRoad/cqqrb/post.htmThu, 22 Jan 2009 22:40:35 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:250275Lcchang5http://www.englishforums.com/English/ThreeKindsOfRoad/cqqrb/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-250275.xmlDelaware Lane Delaware Court Delaware Circle Please tell me what the difference they make.
