Streets, Roads, and Highways in Popular Culture Titles

See thread title. Object is to identify (preferably real) street and related thoroughfares that provide the title for songs, movies, fictional works, etc. Examples follow:

“On Broadway,” (NYC), song, IIRC the Drifters
'Forty-Second Street," (NYC), musical
“Sunset Boulevard,” (LA), movie
“Ventura Highway,” (LA), song, the Eagles
(U.S.) “Route 66”, (Multiple states), song and '60s-era TV show

It would be fun an interesting if we can get as wide a geographical sprfead as possible.

42nd Street (NYC) – song from the movie & musical of the same name.
Broadway (NYC) – too many songs and movie to mention, including Broadway Melody and On Broadway.

Abbey Road (London) – Album title.
Penny Lane (Liverpool)

77 Sunset Strip - TV show

A1A - Jimmy Buffett album

461 Ocean Boulevard - Eric Clapton album

Holiday Road - Lindsey Buckingham

Not really helping with the geographical spread, but…

Also, is “Fascination Street” (The cure) a real street?
