Answer 1

Usually, the name.

A Cul-de-sac is almost always a road that dead-ends into a circular area where you can turn your car around.

"Boulevard" often denotes that the two directions of traffic are divided, like on a divided highway, with trees or a curb.

According to wikipedia, a Parkway is usually not busy, and is restricted from use by large trucks or other heavy vehicles.

Road and street are usually interchangeable.
