In Manhattan, NY  avenues run north and south while streets run east and west.

Looking at the definition of a boulevard that was true when the main street in my home town was named Woodland Boulevard. It had a median lined with oak trees as were the sides of the street once out of the downtown area. However as time went on and cars came along the median was taken out to make room for the traffic and for parking.

I found that info quite interesting particularly why a road is not called a street.

It is interesting. I would have simplified the definitions though. I would say that streets and avenues are in neighborhoods while a road is rural.
