I know that in the Kansas City area, where I live, several jurisdictions (KCMO, KCK, Shawnee, Leawood, and Overland Park) tend to fully spell out the word "Street" on the mast-arm signs for numbered streets at signalized intersections. In addition, KCK takes it a step further: the word "Avenue" is also spelled out on traffic light signage, while ground-mounted signs for numbered street have the word "Street" printed in full.
Having said that, I wonder: where else have you seen that phenomenon throughout the country? I seem to remember some signs in Philadelphia that spelled out the word "Street," which I believe was also for numbered streets. Conversely, I believe some of the street signs for non-numbered avenues in NYC spell out the word "Avenue."
Got any Boulevards? Or other long names?
From the BGS street name thread:

As for standard street name signage, the large size street name signs used in Gwinnett County usually spell out the full street name: https://goo.gl/maps/8WM3MWeQ7CcAVJPq8
This is regarding ground-mounted signage though. Overhead signs use the abbreviations.

Kansas City has "Trafficways", which the usual abbreviation is Trfwy, which would seem to cause long signs either way.
Here's a cheat for Parker, CO:
Parker Road (CO 83) at Mainstreet (no suffix--it actually is Mainstreet)

I have to assume that the original Broadway was once Broad Way, but it is interesting to see Mainstreet.
