I have reported this in the past for "Pkwy." However, this morning waze gave me correct directions of "Parkway South" for "Pkwy S"

Possibly because of the period? We have "St Claude Ave" here and it's always said "Saint", at least as far as I know. I go there relatively often.
I still get "Street Stephens Church Road" here without the period. (with Samantha)

I could have sworn I got "Parkway ess" before, but looking back I see I only reported "Parkway enn." You could be correct that this is only a problem for "N." I'll see what happens if I go north.

Okay, the timeline: The road was named "St. Stephens Church Rd" For quite some time it was pronounced "Saint Stephens Church Road." Then some time in the past few months it started being pronounced for me as "Street Stephens Church Road." So I edited it to try "St Stephens Church Rd" which is currently pronounced for me as "Street Stephens Church Road."

So what are we doing differently? I continue to get "Street Stephens Church Road" for "St Stephens Church Rd" regardless of whether the first "St" has a period or not. I continue to get "Pennsylvania" for "Penn" and I got "Dee Are" for "Dr. Martin Luther King" over the weekend. I'll try clearing the voice cache again and try with the current beta release.

Are you using a test bed somewhere where I could see if I get the same results over the same roads?

Aww. I just retested "St Stephens Church Rd," "Penn St" and got "Saint" and "Penn." Don't remember where I was when I got "Dee Are." Don't know what I've done differently (except this is a new beta version from the last time I tested).


However, turning right on this segment still gives me "turn right on Baltimore Washington Parkway Enn Baltimore Bee Double You Eye"

But the MUTCD doesn't approve of BUS does it?

Your probably right. I've only been confused when the TTS says "bus."
