How to sign “Street” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Street” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Close both hands into loose fists with the thumbs resting up on top.
- Hold the fists at chest height, about a shoulder-width apart in neutral space.
- Turn your palms to face each other so the two fists mirror one another.
- Push both hands straight forward together in one smooth, level motion.
- Keep the fist shapes frozen while they travel, as if paving a stretch of road.
- Stay neutral-faced — the same production signs WAY, PATH, and ROAD.
Practice tip
Two fists pushing forward pave the road — Lifeprint: one sign covers street, way, path, and road.

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
