How do you abbreviate town and country road?

I've seen country abbreviated as "ctry" and "cntry" on things such as transparency worksheets on the overheads in middle school. If you are trying to use this for a college assignment, I wouldn't recommend it. I agree with whoever wrote the previous answer: I believe this is abbreviated out of laziness (or possibly when there's not room for the word in length on something, such as a chart), not because it's proper English. ~ I don't think there is one. =================== I sometimes see the word 'country' abbreviated as 'co.' However, I believe that this is an error and that there is no abbreviation for 'country.' I suspect the attempt to abbreviate 'country' is simply a sign of laziness. The word 'County' is often abbreviated as 'Co.' when it is part of a county's name. The word 'Company' is also often abbreviated as 'Co.' when it is part of a business name. (Note the capitalization of the proper nouns and their abbreviations.)
