I am frequently driving on massachusetts state routes marked in Waze as “MA” (I think we’re pretty uniformly using MA rather than SR inside of I-95) and I’ve never gotten any TTS that sound strange with regards to this. It always sounds appropriate, and I’m also pretty sure pronouncing “massachusetts” rather than saying “M-A” or “ma”.

Awesome. I just wish it said “Massachusetts Route”
We can always request it.
