PostGrid Glossary Thoroughfare

Thoroughfare

A thoroughfare is a major road, street, or highway that allows for the flow of traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular. In the context of postal services, thoroughfares are essential components of addresses, as they typically represent the primary road or street on which a property is located. Thoroughfares can range from large highways to small neighborhood streets and are a key element in address verification and geocoding services. Accurate identification of thoroughfares helps postal systems and delivery services ensure that mail reaches its intended destination.
