I became street wise while hitchhiking the US after graduating from college in the late '70's. Learned plenty from people I met, and here's my resulting definition:
Street wise people are aware of their surroundings and nearby people, sense and avoid walking in places of high risk, and proceed out of them with a confident stride.

Being street wise, Mike notices risky areas by tip offs such as use of razor wire, cameras, and graffiti. He avoids walking too close to hiding places alongside buildings or other areas when in marginal or dangerous areas.
