Preposition

I just wanted to know which preposition is correct in the following examples below in British UK English . I've seen both being used, but wanted to know whether they're interchangeable or whether only one preposition is correct in the English UK language. I know that in American English, ON is used predominantly.

1) I've parkerd my car IN the street ? Or I've parked my car ON the street?

2) The car is parked in the side road or the car is parked ON the side road?

3) I live in a street called... Or I live on a street called...

4) I live ON a road called.... or I live IN a road called ...

I know if the road is a main road then ON is used but when referring to a smaller road, can IN be used?

5) The lighting in this street needs improving or the lighting on this street needs improving?

Is is acceptable in British English to use IN for road and streets?

I'm just not too sure which one to use or are both acceptable. Can both prepositions be used. Thanks
