[explanations]
* 길 : way; road
* 도로 : road
* difference between 길 and 도로 : <도로> 사람, 차 따위가 잘 다닐 수 있도록 만들어 놓은 비교적 넓은 길. 그러니까 사전적 의미로만 따져 보면, 동물의 통행이 가능한가의 여부가 길과 도로의 구분점인 셈이다. 즉 '길'은 동물이 지나갈 수 있는 공간이지만, '도로'는 그렇지 못하다(<도로> A relatively wide 길 that is designed to allow people and cars to travel well. In terms of dictionary meaning alone, whether animals can pass through is the distinction between 길 and 도로. In other words, a '길' is a space where animals can pass, but a '도로' is not)
* difference between 대로 and 로 : ‘대로(大路)’는 왕복 8차로(도로의 폭은 40m) 이상인 도로, ‘로(路)’는 왕복 2차로(도로 폭 12m) 이상 8차로 미만 도로이다. ‘길(街)’은 ‘로’보다 좁은 도로를 뜻한다(대로 means a 도로 with eight round-trip lanes (40 meters wide) or more, and 로 means two round-trip lanes (12 meters wide) or more and less than eight lanes. 길(街) means a 도로 narrower than 로)
