About a few months ago, I've noticed some walking tracks and paths (usually denoted in a green line) take up the name of the road that they seemingly conjoin and continue from. Of course, unless the track has a designated track, regular paths should not take the name of the street/road/etc they come from.
But after short experimentation by accident, I found out that Google Maps sometimes actually treats these named tracks as actual roads and attempts to navigate you unto these. This can be a little bit tricky. By definition depending on the organisation that takes care of such roads, only the actual road should be named as such, not the track that stems from its end. It seems there is an AI component involved in how the tracks connect to the road and how it thinks it should conjoin paths and continue the naming convention.
As per the illustration above, here are the details for the above "roads" that should be corrected and reasoning. I have already made suggestions/given feedback to two of those about two months ago but I'm still waiting on correction. Perhaps these satellite views might be of assistance.
Flood Street, Bondi: The street continues downwards through Waverley Park, from the pedestrian crossing.
Notley Street, Mount Druitt: Continues down a track and unto an undefined dirt walking track.
Cannons Parade, Forestville: Continues down a track that may or may not exist.
Timbrol & Nina Gray Avenues, Rhodes: Both continue down after sharp turns as the footpath to the river.
Bulolo Drive, Mount Druitt: Continues into a one-way driveway through R.A.A.F. Memorial park.
Mendi Place, Whalan: Continues as the footpath well into Whalan Reserve. It should only be the very short road on the right.
I look forward to your assistance.
P.S. I don't know which topic to put this under (it would've been Mapping Your World), so I hope "How-tos" works out.
