Roadshields for Kuwait are not displayed correctly and outdated

Is this a…:
Performance issue
Steps to reproduce this issue:
The current Roadshields for Kuwait country is broken and can’t be used in the map because of:
1- The word inside the roadshield, which should say “طريق” is not showing up correctly in the map and in WME.
2- Since the addition of Roadshields feature 4 years ago, the current roadshields for the country were changed by the government, the current ones in the Waze do not represent the actual roadshields of the country, and in dire need of an update and change.

A little bit of information regarding what’s broken:
The Arabic language consist of letters that are tied together by a line “-”, the word “طريق” that is written in the Roadshields does not have this tie, the letters are seperated and it literally says “Roa -d” which is both unprofessional and wrong.
What we, as editors, want is to update the current roadshields we have.
I have attached the new roadshields that we have now, they are similar to the old onces but with a thin circle inside, the word “طريق” is still written.
Please look into this, the issue is still going on since the feature was launched 4 years ago.

Related to this topic, we also require the addition of exit signs if possible.

We currently do not have them in WME unfortunately.

Our exit signs are very basic, no specific numbering or naming is required.

They are basically a yellow sign that say “خروج فقط” and in the next line it says “EXIT ONLY”

The sign does have a black outline as can be seen from the images. I don’t think arrows are needed, but would be fine if added, however, there are instances where there are exit signs that point to the left direction too.

Hi @UltraTron,

Thank you for flagging this issue.

With regards to the roadshields bug, I have raised an internal ticket to address it and will keep you posted on further updates.

When it comes to the addition of exit signs, I’d advise raising it through your Community Manager.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

All the best,
Olesya
