When you'd hear it
큰길 is an everyday word used in conversation and writing for a main road, especially when giving directions or contrasting it with a 골목길. It is neutral in register and common in situations such as telling someone to take a safer or busier route at night.
What learners get wrong
큰길 is not exactly the same as 대로: 큰길 is a general everyday term for a main road, while 대로 often refers to a broad, major boulevard or a road name. Use 큰길 when contrasting it with a smaller alley or side street.
