To sign 'street', start with both hands in flat shapes in front of your chest, with your palms facing each other and fingers pointing straight ahead. Keep your hands a few inches apart, parallel to one another. Move both hands straight forward simultaneously, as if you are tracing the parallel sides of a road.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'live', and then sign 'street' by moving your flat, parallel hands forward to show the path of the road.
Sign 'store', then 'street', and finish with the sign for 'which'. Remember to furrow your eyebrows at the end, as this is a WH-question.
Sign 'street' using the parallel forward motion, then sign 'busy' to describe the heavy traffic or activity happening on the road.

Yes! In ASL, the signs for 'street', 'road', 'path', and 'way' are generally the exact same. All of them use the parallel flat hands moving forward to show a path.
A smooth, moderate movement extending a few inches out from your chest is perfect. If you are describing a very long street, you might extend the movement further out to emphasize the distance.
No, your hands should remain a few inches apart throughout the entire sign. This empty space between your palms represents the actual width of the street itself.
