city streets
Downtown traffic arteries
City streets are the roads within an urban area, as opposed to highways or rural roads.
The phrase often evokes the particular character of urban life—traffic, pedestrians, storefronts, and the rhythms of a city: She grew up on the city streets of Chicago.
Street-smart knowledge comes from navigating the city streets, not from books.
