Definition
街道 means 'street' and is slightly more formal/neutral than the colloquial 街 (often in street names) or 马路 (emphasizing the road surface for traffic). In urban contexts, 街道 also refers to a 'subdistrict' — the smallest government administrative unit — which the other listed words do not share.
