Hi Amir,
anything which can be remotely considered as a tourist attraction, as well as shops, hotels, reataurants and such are withing the scope of Wikivoyage and thus of Wikidata. For streets, we have now an approved bot task adding all Dutch streets on Wikidata, and I do not see why any other country could be different - provided we have good sources.
I fear doing this is going to kill Wikidata. Neither the software nor the community scales to managing entries for every street in the world.
We have an ambition to have a separate entry for every species of insects, and the number of insect species is comparable to the number of streets.
(I personally would not add streets, but if there is a good database under an appropriate license, and an enthusiastic bot owner - why not?)
Cheers Yaroslav
