There's a situation with this one. You can edit the name of the street, BUT, if there's another name with the same name (Ex. Calle Luis Muñoz Rivera in Ponce and Calle Luis Muñoz Rivera in Mayaguez) it also changes automatically. With the name there's no problem, the problem is when, using previous example, Calle Luis Muñoz Rivera in Ponce is a Two-way street, with sidewalk and bicycle allowed, and Calle Luis Muñoz Rivera in Mayaguez is a One Way street, no sidewalk and bicycle not allowed. I have posted a message in the help forum here, but I'm planning to move it to the Main Forum by the end of the week if the other Google Moderator here doesn't respond.

sorry for the late reply.

I believe the CLL comes from Census Data. The 2010 Census used CLL
default for PR streets. It's a default, so, I don't want to change
that because it's infinite. And I guess I see what are you trying to
say. Let me know when they answer.

La política oficial de Map Maker dice que no se deben abbreviar palabras como "Calle" "Avenida" etc.

The offical Map Maker guidelines state that words like street, avenue, etc. should not be abbreviated.

Cll -> Calle
Abbreviations are not allowed in street names, and we should be editing all of these however we can. Davsot informed me that these are all abbreviated due to the Census data being imported, which didn't follow Google Mapmaker naming rules. That said, if you see any streets with Cll, or other abbreviations, please edit them to their full name. From Mapmaker help:

Complete Name: All words in a road name should be spelled out completely, without any abbreviations. The only exception is when the road name is of Type Abbreviated, or in some cases Local.

  • W Lake Sammamish Pkwy (Inappropriate)
  • West Lake Sammamish Parkway (Correct)
 When using the Abbreviated name type:

Abbreviated: An Abbreviated name is also useful for search or postal codes. For example, “Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard” can be abbreviated “MLK”. Note that terms such as “Road”, “Lane”, “Avenue”, etc., should not be abbreviated.
