Totally desolate. It’s not like the street I live on is a major thoroughfare or anything.
Kinda busy - for my area. We have train tracks 1/2 mile N of us which only a few streets cross. Ours is one of them. So during rush hours and Saturdays, there’s quite a bit of traffic. Just one-lane each direction, but no parking allowed on the street.
Just busy enough that you don’t know your neighbors across the street, too loud to casualy have a conversation with them, and if you are out front people will hon not realizing they are driving too fast for you to see whothey are. So you just smile and wave. Really hate all the cig butts that end up on my parkway.
We couldn’t have afforded the house in this town if it weren’t on this street. And it isn’t too bad. But when you go one street over is is so quiet you really notice the difference.
Our youngest went to college and we don’t need the 5 bedrooms. Some question about a possible job transfer within the year. But when that’s settled, I expect we’ll move somewhere quieter.
Dead end street in rural Canada. I could sleep on the road if I wanted to.
Our street is shaped like a “U”; you don’t drive down it unless you live there or are visiting.
Very little traffic, since there are only 24 houses on the entire street, and traffic is split between the two entrances.
Fairly busy, except in the middle of the night when it’s only moderately busy. 
That’s the street that my address is on, which is one of the main routes for getting to the east end of Hamilton and to Stoney creek. (Two lanes each way and a turning lane in the middle.) We don’t generally get any traffic jams right in my neighborhood, (those pop up further east,) but it is especially busy around rush hour.
The cross-street that my apartment overlooks is also fairly big and busy.
It’s a great location for catching buses any which way. Sleeping without earplugs - not so much.
We are one of two houses on a dead end gravel road. I could sleep in our street.
Untill recently, we where the only residents on the road.
We live on a dead-end street with about 20 houses. That means there’s enough traffic so it’s not totally quiet, but there’s no through traffic so it’s calm most of the time.
Just like this. And we are almost in the center of the U, so very little traffic actually goes past us since people mostly come in the entrance on the side that they live on.
I love my street, it’s a very short cul-de-sac with only 5 houses. Super quiet, even though one of those houses seems to have about 12 people living in it and they apparently run a motorcycle shop out of their backyard.
It’s one of the major streets around here and we’re maybe a block from the highway, so it’s fairly busy most of the day and packed solid from around 3:30 to 8. I can’t wait to move so we can get away from it.
If I am correctly remembering where you live based on a previous Location tag…anything you can do about the morons who stop at green lights down highway 7? I have a friend in Carleton Place, and if it wasn’t for the idiocy of people driving beyond Kanata, I’d probably visit her more often!
Hard to say, my property (0.3 acres) has a road on 3 sides! The main road is a 2 lane highway between 2 towns, so pretty busy, the road off of that goes to a neighborhood up in the woods, maybe a car every few minutes. The third road is off the second road, goes into a dead end neighborhood, so occasional cars.
My street address is on the highway, but our front door, mailbox, and driveway are off the second, side road. We never could figure that out?
It can be a little busy from 8:00 to 9:00 every morning. A few people use my street to cut through and avoid a light or two. Of course if you get behind me, you may as well have just taken the main road. I don’t drive very fast in my neighborhood. Most of us crawl through neighborhood when we know some cut through traffic is behind us.
I live on residential side street. Very little traffic on. No more than 6-10 cars per hour. I love it. There are more people walking on my street than cars. The stop signs help the keep the traffic down.
Right now, it is 8:50 pm on a Friday night. I doubt if there will be 5 cars go by my house until dawn.
I have constant high speed traffic that is very hard to pull out into. You can’t talk in the front yard of the house like you could when I was a kid.
I live on a loop road with just three houses. The traffic consists entire of a. people who live in those houses b. people visiting/delivering things to those houses c. lost or bored people who wonder what’s on our road. It’s not unusual for a week or more to go by without seeing a car other than one belonging to one of the neighbors. I have to remember to look when I back out onto the road because there’s so seldom another car on it that thinking to do so takes a little effort.
Now, the road that ours connects to at both ends is a busy one. They keep threatening to do away with our road to expend that one, but I mostly hope they won’t. It’s kind of nice to get the car pointed in the right direction before having to merge into all that traffic.
My street has a busway (like, a road only busses and emergency personnel can travel on) on one end - the end near me - and is a shortcut bypassing much of the university/hospital traffic at the other end. It’s busy during rush hours, but the rest of the time there’s a handful of cars, 2-3, within my visible range. Plenty of on-street parking since you have to live the street or the street over to have a pass, and plenty of buildings and condos have their own lots.
I’ve got a main, dual carriageway highway at the front of my place. It’s the main link between Sydney and Wollongong, which is one of the busiest commuter corridors in the country. The traffic moves at about 50mph most of the time. I compare it with living by a rocky coast, the noise ebbs and flows like waves breaking. You don’t notice it after a while.
Before I moved here, I was a bit worried about the traffic, but it’s worked out fine. It gets eerily quiet in the dead of night for a couple of hours. Of course, on the far side of the highway is the railway line. You could say I’m close to transport!
I’m a block from a major thoroughfare, so I always get road noise from it even when my street is dead. I’m also a quarter mile from the highway which I hear in my backyard. As an added bonus I get bums asking to mow my lawn for $20 and I can see meth hookers when I drive past the bus stop.
I live on the corner of a quiet street and a very busy, five lane, one-way, main road. It’s relatively quiet at night though.
