[Grammar] drop litter on the street / streets

[heyt]

Hello,

I'm quite unsure which form I should use, street or streets, in the following sentence:

'I don't agree with people who drop litter on the street.

OR

'I don't agree with people who drop litter on the streets.

I'm looking forward to your reply, thank you very much.

I'd use the singular word and, being British, I'd use 'in', not 'on'.

As 5jj responded, I would go with "street", but in AmE you would hear/read both "in" and "on".
