Should you capitalize the word 'street'?

In general, the word 'street' should not be capitalized unless it is part of a proper noun or is used as the first word of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "I live on Main Street," 'street' is not capitalized because it is not part of a proper noun. However, in the sentence "I live on 123 Elm Street," 'street' is capitalized because it is part of the proper noun 'Elm Street'.
