Mostly on Google maps we can find even a little Shop or unknown place. Google maps also tells us about the density of traffic on our route.The information about various types places might be uploaded by Google Guide like us. But some time it is rejected or uploading it by some verification. By whom it is being verified ? My second curiosity is that how it shows exact density/ flow of traffic? Is it possible from existing mobile on the route or something else ?
@Jitendra_pandya users outside of Google will not able to know the exact rules and approval process of a Map edit. It may be estimated based on how severe an edit is, vs the location itself, vs the “trust” of the person doing the edit, and more. There could also be rules around what gets decided by the server vs sending the approval to a person to look at. The truth we, outsiders will not know the exact process.
Regarding collection of traffic information, Google does that automatically from the collective anonymous movement/location data from all of our connected devices that opt into location services. Based on how many people are moving how fast at a location in a certain direction is a easy way of describing it. You can read more on this very old Google Blog posting. (From 2009!)

Thank you for your reply given with link. I went through the material given in Link. As the information provided by Google it self we have no option except to accept it.
Hi @Jitendra_pandya ,
Thanks for reaching out!
In addition to what @StephenAbraham mentioned above, I want to add that Local Guides submit edits on Google Maps to ensure their communities are accurately represented. After you add an edit to Google Maps, it’s reviewed by either local operators, an automated system, or both to ensure the information is accurate and follows our guidelines. For more information on that matter, you can check out: Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”? and Temporary product changes in Google Maps.
This article Help Google Maps find my location will help you to find out more information about your question for location sharing on Google Maps.
Please note that I’ve moved your post to How-tos section in order to keep Connect organized.
I’m one of those who check your Edits. And you can also help checking edits submitted by other local guides.
Find “Check the facts” in your app. You can select from the map and sort by types of edits and then approve/confirm or reject the pending edits.
Please understand that this input is only one of many used to decide if an edit should be approved or not. So you don’t get the final word. And keep in mind that 20 million edits are submitted daily, so the wast majority of edits are approved or denied by a computer.
I’m sure that the info mentioned above is included in some of the many links provided by @PoliMC . I just wanted to invite you to become one of us reviewing edits.
Cheers
