This article was nominated for merging with Street or road name in the past. The result of the discussion was to not merge. |
All the suffixes I have added to the roster are found on google maps. If possible, I go into street view to clarify that the suffix is legit. Please let me know if I did anything wrong. I will accept questions about the legitimitness of the streets, however below I am going to leave links to ALL streets I found that are unusual.

In April, I went on a vacation to Williamsburg, VA. There was an unknown street type, a Tacky. I dont know of its origins but I know its real. I have proof. Can you guys tell me anything you know about Tackys? Pilot0674 ( talk) 00:23, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
In toponymy isn't such an element commonly called a generic? — Tamfang ( talk) 23:17, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
A reference to https://www.usps.com/send/official-abbreviations.htm should be added and the list updated to reflect that site Spiderhawk 19:55, 8 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtcwls ( talk • contribs)
i removed some of the suffixes and the table. I changed it into a numbered list of suffixes from http://pe.usps.gov/text/pub28/28apc_002.htm.
When the article says "Circus for a Circus", could someone explain what the second use of the word circus is referring to? It isn't mentioned in the cited article anywhere. It might be a typo but don't want to remove it in case it isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LocoMotionOfficial ( talk • contribs) 21:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Thank you guys so much! I have learned so many new road types! I am currently in Virginia, and I saw an EXTREMLY rare street type! It wasn't listed in here, but it is a Tacky. it is right [ here]. Can you please explain it?

The list of approved street suffixes in the United Kingdom is sourced from the Haringey Council website. Is there any reason to believe this applies to the entirety of the UK, not just Haringey? I've googled "guidelines for street naming" and I'm getting a bunch of council websites – just picking the ones at the top of the search results, Richmond, Lewisham, Teignbridge – and the list is different every time. I'd like to see a British street suffix masterlist, but I'm not sure one exists. - machotrouts ( talk) 00:48, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
Absolutely this. The article refers to UK but the source is a single council, and other councils differ. - TRT1968 ( talk) 16:48, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
This guidance certainly doesn't seem entirely accurate to the way new roads are named in places near me. In particular the banned terms such as Court are extremely common, including in newer roads. Eastwood Park and strabane ( talk) 19:00, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
