[General] in vs on (name of the street)

[diver petros]

I would like to help me figure out which one is correct: in (name of the street) street OR on (name of the street) street
Thank you!

In British English, both are used; but "on" is much more common. I think American English uses "on" exclusively, but I stand ready to be corrected..

That would be 'on'.

"The shoe shop is on Republic Street."

I hope this helps!

The shoe shop is in Republic street would be fine in BrE, so it doesn't only have to be on.

American English uses on. I suppose it depends on who you are speaking to, but if it's an American use on or we may give you a certain look

BrE uses "in" much more frequently.

I grew up in Mayview Avenue. After that, I lived in Popes Place for twelve years. Now I live in Hythe Road.
