Five examples

1 — A single chair against a plain background

The fixed unoccupied room cannot compare an environment with a throughway and roadside boundaries, so it is replaced with a neutral plain-background arrangement that does not pre-stage a street.

a single chair against a plain background with no roadway, sidewalk, roadside boundaries, walls, roof, vegetation, or urban elements, indicating neither indoors nor outdoors

a single chair against a plain background
a state with no cues to a throughway, roadside boundaries, indoors, or outdoors

2 — Unmarked open ground without boundaries

The fixed valley landscape has no throughway or roadside boundaries and cannot readily compare a street environment, so it is replaced with neutral unmarked ground that does not pre-stage a street.

unmarked open ground with no roadway, sidewalk, roadside boundaries, buildings, or vegetation and no indicated direction of passage or specific place

unmarked open ground without a roadway, sidewalk, or roadside boundaries
a state with no indicated direction of passage or specific place

Meaning and scope

Definition

A street setting is a general street environment in which a roadway or sidewalk for passage and its roadside boundaries are readable. It does not determine whether urban or rural, country or culture, traffic volume, era, safety, weather, or time of day.

In more detail

It concerns a passable surface and the roadside boundaries that define its sides. Road use, building density, and a particular region's street style are not inferred from the setting alone.

Includes

An environment in which a roadway or sidewalk for passage and roadside boundaries are readable

Excludes

Whether urban or rural, country or culture, traffic volume, era, safety, weather, or time of day
An open landscape or indoor space without a throughway and roadside boundaries
