The time to browse Roads Google Maps is surprisingly fast

[NgocVu3822]

Hello Local Guides and moderators, I have a question that recently, the approval time for "Add, delete, edit roads" has become very fast (about 24 - 48 hours instead of 1 to 2 weeks or never know the results), don't know if it has anything to do with "Upgrading Road approval speed" or "I'm using the Google One package because before using this package the Road approval speed was the same as before"?

Hi @NgocVu3822 

Last week I reported the same. 1-2 days for approvals. And one week later all non-approved roads were no longer pending (deleted). 

That is a substantial improvement compared to earlier.

Hi @MortenCopenhagen, It's really good because before I had a hard time reporting wrong or non-existent roads, now the job of editing the entire road for the city I live in has become convenient and easy. 🥰

It's great that the approval time has been improved, but I genuinely believe that it has nothing to do with the Google One subscription.

Hi @NgocVu3822 

in the last days (last week) I do have the same experience of a really fast approval.

Just for a quick reference:

24 Feb, 120 approved roads, 64 did in the 23rd of feb and 35 did on the 24th of feb ( >80% within 48 hours )

25 Feb, 179 approved roads, 127 did on the 24th of Feb, 25 did on the 25th of Feb ( >80% within 48 hours)

all the other approved roads were made in the last 10 days and only really few (< 5%) were made in the past.

Hope to see if this will be the "future".

Btw, are you joining the TRAC event held by @SholaIB ? Is a huge campaign for all of us "roaders" that are interested into editing roads.

Have a look here.

Take care

Marco

OK, this explains all:

All servers and personell which used to count views are now approving road edits 🤣

Recently I did not do any edits, but saw some from December being refused.

@MarcoDavoli 

I have just noticed this today that some of my road edits have been approved in a few hours. This will be a good improvement for our upcoming TRAC event.

Hello @NgocVu3822 ,

You are welcome to join our TRAC team soonest. We will be soliciting for more local guides to join in a post soon. Keep your eyes open for the post this week l. In addition to that wouldn't you like to attend Our 2024 TRAC pre-launch meet-up?  You are very welcome to participate.

Hi @NgocVu3822 

There is not an higher speed for users of Google one, but there is a series of circumstances that combined together can improve the approval speed.

@MarcoDavoli , My results EDIT from the last 24 18 hours and 30 minutes are:

Accepted 157 195

Dec 22 = 1

Of course I can update the data at midnight if it can help (they are changing every 5-10 minutes) but I don't think it can makes a big difference. While I was writing the post I had 5 approved road, 4 submitted on Feb 15, and 1 from Feb 16
