सड़क, रास्ता, गली, मार्ग----saRak, rAstA, gali, mArg

These words appear to be very close to one another. However, I have tried my level best to differentiate between them by suggesting a different word for each and every one according to its meaning.

Thank you, Arun.
agree Pundora : Better, I think मार्ग and रास्ता for 'avenue' and 'route' respectively instead of रास्ता and मार्ग when it comes to using the terms simultaneously. Otherwise, as you said rightly these terms are very close.

Street-गली, Avenue-पथ, वीथि, Alley-संकरी गली,गलियारा, Route-मार्ग, सड़क

As per my opinion गली is a proper word for Street,
For Avenue as you said- a broad street, often lined with trees, so you can put पथ for broad street and वीथि for lined with trees,
For Alley-संकरी गली is the correct word as it means narrow lane,
And for the last word Route-best word is मार्ग.
So you can make a choice in between.
