medio/mitad de la calle ?

En medio de la calle
think of “mitad” as meaning 1/2 and “medio/a” meaning the middle and you will be less confused about the difference between these two words. Mediodía = the middle of the day. Medianoche = the middle of the night. Media hora = the middle of the hour.
La mitad is always the same as saying 50%.
