Street is a lunar impact crater located just to the south of the prominent Tycho crater. Street lies within the skirt of high-albedo ejecta from Tycho, and it is more heavily worn than its younger and larger neighbor. There are several smaller craters joined to the western rim, as well as two craters along the eastern rim. The floor is relatively smooth and flat, except for a small craterlet in the western half.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Street crater.
