Agreed, 'in dieser Strasse'. In/on this/that street (fem).

As I understand it, one would use "in dieser Stadt" when one means driving in the city (as opposed to, say, walking in the city). However, if one means driving to the city (eg. you are in Hamburg and are driving to Berlin) one uses "in diese".
Please correct me if I've got this wrong. I'm only in German 2

Hello,
in can either be akkusative or dative, depending on whether the object is standing still in a location (I have a computer in my house = dative), or whether the object is moving somewhere (in welche (not welcher!) Richtung gehst du? = akkusative). You can find plenty of examples showing when to use akkusative or dative by looking up common phrases in the Duden (Germany's official dictionary / grammar book). Here's a sample showing in welche Richtung: http://www.duden.de/suchen/dudenonlin...
Hope that helps!
