Grammar
Collecting shells, etc.
I want to say that "The traffic in Park Street moves slowly in the morning." Is "in" the correct word? Can we say "on"? When should we use "on the street/road", "in the street/road"?
Can I say that "There are two bus lanes in/on the road"?
Can I say "I possess a big shell collection."? or "I have a big shell collection"?
Thank you a lot.

I would say: traffic on Park street (Maybe "in" is more common in Britain, I'm not sure) The yellow lines are painted on the street. The children should not be playing in the street. The road has two bus lanes.

- --or, even better -- I have a big collection of shells (to make it clear that you do not have a small collection of big shells).
