2. Some, however, do use the prefix on the signs and in verbal. The
direction appears in front of the name in the same font:
name = "West 17th Street"
name_prefix = "W"
name_prefix_included = yes
name_root = "17th"
name_type = "St"
So what does the sign really say: "W 17th St", "West 17th St", etc?
It depends on which sign. From recollection, it is usually spelled out as
West in large overhead signs, but I imagine smaller signs might abbreviate.
In any case, I think your point was abbreviation here, which we've tabled
(for now).
(BTW, AFAIC, feel free to edit down to the relevant portion of the post -
it's too easy to miss small comments within large postings like these, even
with proper indenting)
