[OSM-talk] Street name abbreviations

[Andrew Gregory]

I'd been thinking for a long time that the OSM wiki needed a table with  
some common street name abbreviations (if it exists, I can't find it).  
When I started surveying I kept on finding weird abbreviations that took  
some searching to figure out (all the other online maps are also  
abbreviated). After months of survey, I found I had a large list, compiled  
 from a variety of web sites (councils, real estate, universities) as well  
as personal knowledge. It's English, and as I'm in Australia, it probably  
has a couple of local peculiarities, but should probably be good for other  
English-speaking countries. I hope it's useful.
