Very few words and expressions are used exclusively in either British or American English, and you 
are likely to hear and read words from both varieties.
Streets and roads
Street has a wider range of meaning in American English.
American speaker: Let’s cross the 
street here; there’s more traffic further down.

road, especially in a busy city.

The British English expressions are given in square brackets.

crosswalk to cross the street.

the US connecting different states]

intersection, look for a sign saying 
‘International Airport’.
