Most of the world’s roadways are known by the citizens of the community and perhaps, for a while, by visitors to the area. However, there are some roads that can be considered “Famous streets of the World” since they are recognized by nearly everyone. They are icons and landmarks, just as significant as the sights around them.

There are a number of famous streets which can be found in the United States. Here are a few of them.

Broadway, New York City, New York, USA — Its name is synonymous with New York City. With Seventh Avenue, it forms Times Square, the most famous “square” in the world. It even defines a section of Manhattan where people flock to see live theater.
