What is the difference between in the street and on the street?

I read this sentence : We used to play in the street. Can I say we used to play on the street?

And we always say I walk on that street, instead of walk in that street, right?

Thanks!

If "walk on the street" doesn't sound right, do I say "walk in the street"?

For example, I realized how lonely I was while walking on this busy street.

Thanks!
