addr:StreetNameDirectional_type
A word preceding or following the street name that
indicates the directional taken by the thoroughfare from
an arbitrary starting point, or the sector where it is
located.
1. Standard USPS English abbreviations are E, W, S, N,
NE, SE, SW, NW 2. Standard USPS Spanish abbreviations
are E, O, S, N, NE, SE, SO, NO 3. USPS Publication 28
recomends abbreviating post-directionals. The Address
Standards Working Group differs, and recommends storing
post -directionals fully spelled out, exactly as given by
the local naming authority, to avoid confusion. For
example: "NW Jones St": Is it Northwest Jones Street?
Ned Walter Jones Street? North Walter Jones Street? The
abbreviations create ambiguity. If stored unabbreviated,
directionals can be exported as standard abbreviations
as needed for mailing and other purposes.
