I’m about a mile from one end of my street, where it turns a corner and changes names, about 3 miles from the other end where it inexplicably changes names at an intersection. So yeah, I could walk it, but it wouldn’t be pleasant. ---

My road is about 600yds long so easy to walk the length of if so inclined but it is shaped like the plough constellation (big dipper), if I want to walk to the far end on my street it is shorter to take a different street that is the top of the bowl of the plough and then walk the handle rather than walk all the way round the bowl. I will frequently walk about 2/3rd of the bowl (where a track needs ot a riverside path that is a pleasent walk, and occasionally the handle if walking to the end of my road (as mentioned above) but rarely walk the rest simply becasue I have no reason to.
