I'm looking for songs which have street names in their title.

So far i have 'Penny Lane', 'Baker Street' and 'Across 110th street'.

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy); Mainstreet (Bob Seger); Positively 4th Street (Dylan).
 
The Open Rd (Bryan Adams)
Mt.Edgecombe 4302, South Africa
 
Here are a few. Google will bring up plenty more.

Aux Champs-Elysees
Basin Street Blues
Highway 61 Revisited
Route 66
Slaughter on Tenth Avenue (a ballet, not a song)
Bleeker Street
On Broadway
Blue Jay Way
Ventura Highway

Hot Street
Dream Street
138th Street
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Sunset Boulevard
Santa Monica Boulevard
High Road
Forever Road
8 mile Road
22 Acacia Avenue
Skyway Avenue
Boyce Avenue
 
Wilson Pickett's "Funky Broadway"
Dire Straits' "Telegraph Road"
Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road" and "Hillbilly Highway"

There are probably thousands of such songs - these popped to the top of my head faster than I could type them
 
Blue Jay Way, in Hollywood Hills (Los Angeles), California, was an issue. People kept stealing the sign. Even before the Beatles song, it dead ended into moderately sized cul-de-sac, with a great view. The home owners there eventually blocked the view, but Lookout Mountain Ave still has the same great view where it uturns directly above the Blue Jay Way cul-de-sac.
 
So old it isn't even a classic it is just plain old.

The English equivalent to Route 66 is the M25.Get your kicks on the M25 has a much nicer ring to it.
