Thanks Lyn! And sort of, but there are sometimes cars in them. I think your previous guess was pretty much it – they are small streets between other bigger ones. Some are only wide enough for pedestrians, but others can also take cars (but don’t generally)…
Whatever it takes…

I like it! (And I think I just figured out the answer to my laneway question – is it streets where no cars are allowed?)
