I can't tell if they are actual streets, pedestrian-only areas, or bus loading/unloading zones. There look to be structures along them that could be market booths or buses.
That's if you mean the two blocks with the diagonals going through them. If you mean the one in the back that's slightly off-angle from the grid, my guess for that is that the road existed before the modern city did and wasn't removed to create the grid. Or it might be a rail line.
Nope, that's Diagonal Avenue, one of the cities main thoroughfares; it was part of the original design of the Eixample, intended to break the monotony of the grid, together with the north-south Meridiana Avenue.
I'm guessing you mean the one I referred to in the 2nd paragraph?
Edit: haha you added the quote while I was typing the question. Thanks for the clarification!
Yeah, sorry, I realised it wasn't clear which part I was referring to after I had already posted it. ๐
