Now that I think about it, so are roads

Rouds have material manifestations. The ground is different so driving there makes a difference. But historically, streets were the empty space between houses until the car industry lobbied to get the pedestrians out of the way.

Didn’t they have like horses and carts and shit?

Yes, true, and all used the streets equally. It was the car accidents and the victim blaming campaigns that blamed the pedestrians that invented the sidewalk. But roads existed before to get from one village to the next
