Really? They live on Main Street? She lives on Mulberrry Lane.
I am not sure what you mean by a crescent road either, but the "on" part is fine.

People live in crescents, not on crescent roads. Here in the UK, there are literally thousands of roads called "Crescents" - there's one near me called Ivy Crescent. It simply denotes the crescent or arc shape of the road.
We don't usually talk of 'crescent' in an indefinite way
