some prepositions like 'on, at,and to' are used for direction what is the difference?

Question

Answer

If you are giving directions for a place or building that has an address you would say it is in(Uk) High street or on(USA) High street. You could give an exact address and say it is at(but not in or on) 123 High street. We use 'to' in directions to ask for help or offer help. Can you direct me to...?  I am trying to get to...? Where are you trying to get to...?

basically we use them this way (but not exclusively)
In - a road or street(UK)
on - a road or street(USA)
at - a specific address
to- a destination
