Indication of Quality of Roads

[#1]

When I choose navigation to an unknown place, google suggest me best option in terms of distance and traffic, but provides no information on condition or quality of roads. I often end up poor roads which are either too narrow for two vehicles or poorly constructed roads. There could be better option for me in many of the cases. So I feel GMap should point out condition of roads when navigation options are listed and allow the users to choose among the same. This is especially valid on Asian scenario of roads.

There can be multiple options to decide on the same - one can be allowing the user to rate roads and another can be monitoring frequent navigation through the roads.

Hi @Swostik,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I'm going to merge your idea to a similar one which has been already submitted, Indication of Quality of Roads.

Google Map should have a separate feature for areas where it can only be accessed using 4x4 vehicle. It ahould a assigned a different color so that people while searching get an idea about the road condition and avoid going to such places where they can not go with a 4x4 vehicle.

Hi @Techtarunanand,

Thanks for sharing your concerns and suggestion.

Just to let you know, you may check another idea with a really similar thought, Indication of Quality of Roads.

Follow up to that, I have relocated the two posts in one place for further convenience.

Hello @SAM-KHANABADOSH,

The Indication of Quality of Roads is a similar idea about road conditions, so I'm merging your idea to that one. 

Furthermore, please remove the google logos from your post as Local Guides are not allowed to use them.

I wish Google map can help indicate the condition of roads to users. Most roads in some countries are in very deplorable state so I suggest that there should be a way that Google map users can trace the road conditions and compare alternative routes that are in good condition before embarking on their journey.
