The term 'stroad' is best described as which of the following?

• A. A road that only permits motorized traffic
• B. A hybrid street-road that moves cars and allows people to walk
• C. A pedestrian-only promenade
• D. A high-speed interstate with no entrances in city centers

Answer: (B)

A stroad is a blend of street and road—an urban corridor that is designed to move cars efficiently while also allowing people to walk along it. It sits between a street, which prioritizes pedestrians and local activity, and a road, which prioritizes through-traffic. The idea is that cars can travel through the area at decent speed, but the space also includes sidewalks and places for pedestrians. That combination is what makes it a hybrid: it serves both uses, even if that balance often creates safety tensions for pedestrians.

This is why the description that fits best is a hybrid street-road that moves cars and allows people to walk. It isn’t purely for motorized traffic, nor is it a pedestrian-only promenade. It isn’t a high-speed interstate with no city access, either, since stroads exist right in urban areas and include features like driveways and intersections that pedestrians share with vehicles.
