There is a way to get the entire polyline for a street directly out of
the API, but you'd need the start and end points, do directions from
those coordinates and most likely you'd end up with the street as a
line. The issue with this is what can you do with the data? The answer
is show a line on the map. You can't store that data for use with
another application, even if it's something like finding POI's along
the street. That would be against the terms.

There are alternatives. You could use the Tiger database and create a
road table, a major undertaking to say the least, or you could find
another source for doing this. Right now, as far as I know, there are
no databases available of complete roads, at least not for free.
