"Streets" seems to work better for cities/villages. You might want to rename the subcategories for the states too and redirect the other version. -- User:Docu at 03:52, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The word "road" can be translated as Außerortsstraße to German or as Freilandstraße to Austrian German. Many languages have different term for a street and a road. --ŠJů (talk) 06:38, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Most of countries have separate categories of streets and of roads. See Category:Streets by country and Category:Roads by country. It's not reasonable to make a exception in respect of Austria. --ŠJů (talk) 07:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't merge. See en:street vs. en:road: Whereas a street is a public thoroughfare in a built environment, meant to facilitate public interaction, a road's main purpose is transportation. --wg (talk) 21:54, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
