road

Both refer to roads; 街道 often implies a smaller street with sidewalks, while 路 is a more general term for road.

street

马路 refers specifically to a paved road for vehicles, often larger, whereas 街道 can include pedestrian areas.

lane

巷 is a lane or alley, narrower than a typical 街道.

街道 is often used in official addresses or administrative divisions, e.g., 街道名称 (street name), not just for physical streets.

Do not confuse 街道 (street/subdistrict) with 楼梯 (stairs); they sound different in tones: jiēdào vs. lóutī.
