Additional Information

The project use the Street Address Placement style. This style is meant for placing stacked number addresses at either end of a street segment, not for placing names of streets along the street segment. Refer to the following documentation for more information. Street address placement style https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/working-with-text/labeling-using-the-street-address-placement-style.htm vs. Street placement style https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/working-with-text/labeling-using-the-street-placement-style.htm Improvements are seen when the placement style is changed. Always use the Best mode of labeling with Maplex for the best results. Fast is meant as a draft quality placement to be used when working on your map, not for final production.

Workaround

Set the abbreviate labels to the bottom of the strategy order.
