Hello all,

There are abbreviations for nearly every kind of road type (i.e. Road = Rd, Avenue = Ave, Boulevard = Blvd, etc.) with the intent on saving screen space in the Waze user app.

A few abbreviations are confusing and do not provide the benefit of significant screenspace savings from eliminating one letter: Pike = Pke, Way = Wy, and many others. Not only are these abbreviations confusing to the eye from their irregularity, but they also save little space with only one character being removed each. "Wy" is also the abbreviation for Wyoming if both characters were capitalized.

Should "Saint Martin's National Pike" be:

1. St. Martin's National Pke
2. Saint Martin's Nat'l Pke
3. St. Martin's Nat'l Pke
4. St. Martin's National Pike
and so on.

NOTE: If you don't put the period after the "St," TTL will read it as "Street Martin's."

I have spoken with many folks in the higher ranks and they are believed to be working on a strategy of clarification/unification of approach for these, IMHO, silly abbreviated road types.

Does anyone else have any additional confusing abbreviations to add to the conversation?
