Prefix Abbreviations
After searching the wiki and these forums, it appears different folks are handling this in different ways, so I wanted to find out what the best practice was for Canada.
There is a large pocket of street names that have either St. (for Saint) as a prefix, or Mt. (for Mount) on the actual street sign - these are in waze in a multitude of ways. Some are currently spelled out such as Saint James Street, or their friends: St. James Street, St James St, St James Street.
Its my interpretation that these, and most likely also the similar Mt. roads should be:
St. James St N
St. James St S
St. James St
etc.
Is that correct?
Is St. an acceptable tts substitute for Saint? I've seen some discussion on this on other threads.
Is Mt. an acceptable replacement for Mount? In the cases I'm speaking of, the street signs also carry abbreviated forms.
