I need your help in correcting the Road near my home. There are 2 roads whole google maps are showing one. When I raised the request to edit, it’s either pending or not getting accepted. I might be doing something wrong while updating it or not updating properly. Please help
Attaching screenshots one from Google map showing how currently the road is displayed in Google Map
Second from street view wherein I have highlighted using yellow line how there are 2 roads which are seperated by a single brick wall. Its not 2 sides of a road/street but 2 different street. I stay in kundan Estate (right side street highlighted by me) and google always leads people (even cabs) to other road which is causing a lot of pain.
In order to clarify about this (cause maybe we will find another related problems), I suggest you include the link of the road position on the Google Maps, so the moderators or everyone will help you easily to overcome the situation.
Yes, that is the most important information that better to be included in your post. Actually, I have tried to fix the information, but it takes time to be approved by Google. Hopefully a Connect Moderator will try to help you @ErmesT
Thanks , @ALG87. This would be very helpful. Honestly we have been facing issues usually with cabs. They always go the other way and never able to find the correctly street because currently instead of 2 there is only 1 and that join which currently Google map shows is not present in reality.
You have been really helpful. Thanks again for quick support.
Thanks for the tag, @ALG87 , @s.jain416
I just checked the area. There is a lot of chaos in the area, with a lot of absolutely inappropriate road edits, which I will have to report and have removed, so as to keep only the useful ones and above all those done correctly.
Someone has used the edits function in a completely inappropriate way to create duplicates that will never be approved but that slow down the system and probably also block the approval of other edits.

After the main clean-up, we can see the status of the updates around the area mentioned by you. As far as I can see the situation should seems to be fixed already, even if not updated yet in Google Maps
The white line here below is showing the two parallel roads.
The change is not on the public Maps yet, but will be updated in a short time (hours or days). Here below you see the actual road in Maps, with the joint in the wrong position
So I think you should update us in a couple of days to see if the correct routes are publicly visible. If they aren’t, let me know, and we’ll look at other options to resolve the issue.
Thanks @ErmesT for the support. Let’s wait a day or 2 like you said for the updates to reflect in the Google maps. I might buzz if I need further help.
Are there any tips to make editing of a road (and also adding a road) can be accepted easily? I have tried to make some contributions in adding the road (even it is located in my neighborhood), but it didn’t success at all. And if there is a wrong joint of the road as mentioned above, should we delete the entire road and make a new road? Because I find that it is complicated to move the joint to the correct one.
Thanks @ErmesT even I have tried correcting this road and was unable because of existing wrong interconnection of roads. This would help me further in correcting other such incorrect defined roads in Google maps.
I forget to mention you @s.jain416. Thank you very much for your awesome questions!
Let’s contribute to make better future for our neighborhood and more accurate Google Maps!
@ALG87 & @ErmesT the updates are done and getting reflecting in Google maps now. But a wierd thing is happening. First one is the screenshot of the map in normal view which appears when we open the Google map
@ALG87 could I ask you for one more favor. Is it possible to update the name for this street as “Kundan Estate Road”. I tried but it’s not getting accepted.
@s.jain416 , we are Local Guides exactly like you, just with a bit more experience. If you have raised a request for changing the name, your request will be analyzed by Google.
The check may take up to 90 days.
For your own privacy kindly edit your post and remove your email address.
This is a kind of information that is not permitted to share, and Google doesn’t need it
I’m so sorry, but what @ErmesT said is true. We are just Local Guides like you, and we would like to help you at this situation, but the approvals are up to Google. Keep up the good work, and if you have submitted a request, we can wait for the approval.
Thanks @ErmesT & @ALG87 for your guidance. I didn’t know this. I was told that a level 9/10 or connect moderator can approve the request and so I requested you for the same.
No problem. Actually, I hear about that too. Someone said to me if an edit made by people with level 9/10 have higher chance to be approved by Google. But I don’t know if the correlation is true. In my case, road editing is harder to be approved by Google than place editing. But thank you for asking, you have done wonderful job.
