Tony,
The rule you are confused about deals with "When referring to the street, road, avenue, or boulevard people live on. "
I hope that helps.

When referring to the street, road, avenue, or boulevard people live on (using habiter), you can either use dans la/le, simply la/le or nothing at all.
BUT you can NEVER use sur (i.e. on) in that context!
