Standard Abbreviations
This is a locally derived list for South Africa. The Original list is at Abbreviations and acronyms.
The full set of suffixes is not in use in South Africa. The Afrikaans Equivalent is generally a similar term as the Road Name. When commonly used for street names, the ZA Usage Verified column will indicate that it is in use.
Only the English Road Name suffix 'Abbreviation' is acceptable and used for Waze naming. If a Road is named 'Witbos Alley' and it appears on the map with the Afrikaans name, e.g. 'Witbos Steeg', it should be renamed to 'Witbos Aly'.
- Only suffixes should be abbreviated, not the Name, e.g. "Circle Rd", not "Cir Rd".
- TTS = Text To Speech for supported countries.
- Not here or supported ? The "When in doubt, Spell it out" principle always apply.
