Stroad is an unofficial slang portmanteau of street + road. It refers to roads that do a dangerous job of combining the features of a street and a road. It is often a high-capacity suburban arterial road typically going through a commercial strip development. They are usually lined with direct access points to retail businesses with expansive front parking, making the area car-centric and having low walkability. They can often be multilane and go at speeds slightly faster than regular city speed limits. Stroads often get memed as a satire of North American suburban life, full of lifeless bland consumerism, and a sort of artificial / detached sense of reality.
