Exd vs Ext

Post by BlaiseBFaint
Reidsville NC has streets known as extensions: Vance St Extension, Turner Drive Extension, Gilmer St Extension. I expect extension to be abbreviated, "Ext." Why do these appear as "Exd" in Waze?

The "Exd" likely came from the basemap import - it's like that in CT too.

Yes - according to Abbreviations & acronyms (which JustinS83 linked to above), we should be using Ext.

I've been changing them as I come across them for years - especially since "Exd" didn't used to say "Extension" in TTS (I don't know if it does now or not).

This sounds like bad naming. According to this it should indeed be "Ext" (note, no period).
