| | |
| ==Standard suffix abbreviations==
| |
| Waze convention is to use suffix abbreviations in street names. ("Main Rd" instead of "Main Road").
| |
| | |
| '''Notes:'''
| |
| | |
| 1. Abbreviate only suffixes.
| |
| :*"The Avenue", "The Green", etc. should not be abbreviated.
| |
| :*"Circuit Avenue Road" is abbreviated "Circuit Avenue Rd", not "Cct Ave Rd".
| |
| :*A road named "Service Road" should not be abbreviated, while "Pipeline Service Road" should be (as "Pipeline Service Rd").
| |
| | |
| 2. Suffix abbreviations do ''not'' contain any punctuation, such as "<code>.</code>" (Full-stops) or "<code>-</code>" (Hyphens).
| |
| | |
| 3. In the event that the original suffix is a plural (ends in s) and only its singular form is present as an abbreviation, simply add an "s" to the end of the abbreviation.
