Spanish term

calle con carrera

Spanish to English Art/Literary Tourism & Travel Addresses
Este es un colombianismo hasta donde tengo entendido.

Ejemplos de uso:

- Los vecinos de la calles 93 con carrera 16 denunciaron un paquete sospechoso frente a un edificio.
- Distancia entre calle con carrera 11 bogota y av 68 con calle 80 bogota...
- 19, calle 13 con carrera 86, carrera 86 con calle 11, calle con carrera 89, calle 13 con carrera 87.

Muchas gracias por la ayuda.

Colombianismos Con el perdón de los colombianos, pero este es un mal uso del español.

Lo correcto es: "En la calle X que intersecta con la calle/avenida X" o "En la intersección de la calle X con la calle/avenida X".

Por ejemplo:
- Imagen 18: Movimientos aforados en la intersección de la Calle 100 con Carrera 64...
- DISEÑO GEOMÉTRICO DE LA INTERSECCIÓN AVENIDA SUBA CON CALLE 100 EN LA CIUDAD DE BOGOTÁ...

at the intersection of

The "calles" intersect with "carreras". Both are numbered.

@Asker Here, it would be ON Calle 13 at the intersection OF Carrera 86. "In the street" refers to someone or something physically being on the pavement, in the middle of the road. ;-)

Ok. I thought they were statements by neighbors, they were giving their addresses, like where they lived. "Los vecinos de la calles 93 con carrera 16"

My pleasure. Happy to help.
Note from asker:
It seems then that - En Calle 13 con Carrera 86 would be: - In Calle 13 at the intersection with/of Carrera 86
In my case it would be "IN the street" since it involves someone killed in the street.
Thank you for your explanation, Debora.

agree neilmac : If you said this to me in Spain, I'd assume they were holding a race in the street...

Calle (93) AND Carrera (16)

In the US, they don't say 'at the intersection of'. Instead, AND between two streets means at the intersection of.
