When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
cruce - intersection of two streets, or possibly "con" -- (intersection) street x "with" street y
An example:
Nueva Esparta: municipio Mariño, bulevar Guevara, parque Fraelia Cedrea, y municipio Mariño, ciudad de Porlamar, ***cruce calle Arismendi con calle Zamora***, oficina regional de la Onidex, planta baja.

below is another variant of "c/" as "esquina c/" -- not sure what exactly the "c/" stands for -- could be "con" or "calle", but the "esquina" makes the meaning clear. Febles Campos is the street where I live.

c/ or c/. = Calle = Street
Dear Ellen:
As you have blocked out the street names, it makes it that much harder to decipher. However c/ or c/. is the standard abbreviation for "Calle" (Street).
(street name) No. ___, c/ (another street name), Asuncion, Paraguay.

Abreviatura de "calle": ¿"c/." o "c/"?
________________________________________
Sé que esta parecerá una duda un poco rara, pero estoy haciendo un cursillo de Correspondencia Comercial y la profesora ha comentado en clase que la abreviatura de "calle" es "c/.", siempre con punto, y bajo ningún concepto "c/" o "C/".
A mí me "chirría" un poco, porque hasta ahora siempre había utilizado/visto "c/"... De hecho, aquí: http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/apendices/apendice2.html aparece la abreviatura tal y como he dicho. ¿Sabéis si también se acepta lo de "c/." (en alguna normativa antigua, tal vez) o es algo que esta mujer se acaba de inventar?

@ taino_nc:
This is the original context:
(street name) No. ___, c/ (another street name), Asuncion, Paraguay.
Frankly, it is an assumption that c/ could be Cnr. as the (other street name) could be Calle Abel Bravo, for example, Abel Bravo being the street name!
I have given Mrs. Lockett the credit for her proposed answer, but without further context and a clearly written entry, it is next to impossible to determine the true meaning.
Thank you very much.

I still disagree w/U!/Thous. of refs. & 9 other peers support my claim. c/. or c/ or C/ is the stand. for Calle not Corner (Corner is Esq.) Esquina in Spanish. See all the refs.+1M+ on the web.I disagree 100% with you+R U fr. Parag? Pls. read ALL Entries

Bubo Coroman (X)
: with regard to the comment immediately above, in Canaries (which uses Spanish midway between mainland Spain and Latin America) "/" is used a lot in abbreviations, including for calle and for the province name, "S/C de Tenerife" or just "S/C" (Santa Cruz)

Thanks DL. App. it. It is alm impossible to tell in view of the way the original posting was written- meaning? Your suggestion of using per. Google Earth is a good one, but we don´t know the actual street names! And yr. sugg. is very valid too. Hugs.
