Alley Road
It's more of a boulevard or avenue.
An alley is a small pathway between buildings that may or may not be drivable.
A boulevard is a big,wide, and multi-laned street with trees on both sides, and normally has a median.
An avenue is a straight street with trees and buildings on both sides but may or may not have a median.
The definition of an alley road doesn't fit the alley road in theotown, but the latter two do more.

Re: Alley Road
Oh, I didn't know that. But at the same time I knew somewhere else roads like this would be called an alley.

Nothing really, just attention to detail.

Re: Alley Road
While the type of road is called "alley" in some other languages, in English, according to Wikipedia,
"An alley or alleyway is a narrow lane, path, or passageway, often reserved for pedestrians, which usually runs between, behind, or within buildings in the older parts of towns and cities. It is also a rear access or service road (back lane), or a path or walk in a park or garden."
So at least for the English version, the correct name for the type of road with a tree-lined median should be "avenue" instead.
