What is the correct abbreviation for a street court? (aka Cul-de-sac)?

Question

I am having a package shipped to me. The shipping address listed is

2020 (my street name) Ct.

On some other things which have been delivered to me, the court is abbreviated to Crt.

Will this make a difference and which one is correct?

Answer 1

According to the US Postal Service, the correct abbreviation for Court is Ct (Street is St, Avenue is Ave, Road is Rd, etc).



It shouldn't make a difference in getting it to you.

You already have many suggestions for other "roads", so I shall not add any more. My understanding of "court" is an area completely or at least mainly enclosed by buildings ( at least on three sides). It is often found around blocks of flats. It has also been described in my dictionary as "a wide alley with only one opening onto a street" but I would say that the "traditional" description of being surrounded by buildings is better, although I would be the first to admit that these days this meaning has been relaxed considerably.

Answer 4

CT is correct per US Postal Service website. I recently moved to a Court so i googled it myself and found this very old thread. So here you go 6 years later, the correct answer.

Answer 5

S. 2020 Main Court



Ct. - with the (.) is the most appropriate, but you can always spell it out since it's only 5 letter word to avoid confusion.

"Court", when used in its obnubilated sense to mean "street", has the following characteristics: 1. Its length is very short. 2. It is closed at one end. 3. It has houses on both its sides. 4. It may or may not be paved. 5. It is wider than a blind alley and shorter than a cul-de-sac. Here is a list of other words for 'street' with short descriptions. I've intentionally left out words like motorway, freeway and others which are used only for 'roads'. Alley: a short or narrow street Alleyway: an alley Avenue: a wide street (or road) which may have trees on its sides Backstreet: a small street off the main highways in a city or town Blind alley: a narrow alley or passage that is closed at one end Boulevard: a wide street, especially one lined by trees Chare: a narrow street Court: (already described above in detail) Cul-de-sac: a residential street closed at one end Drag: slang for street High street: a principal street where the main stores of a town are located Lane: a narrow street with buildings on both sides Mall: a sheltered and shady avenue Mews: a small street lined with former stables that have been converted into housing Place: a short residential street Row: a narrow street that is lined with houses or other buildings on both sides Terrace: a street constructed along a piece of raised or sloping ground Wynd: a narrow lane in a town Hope this helps!
