What to do when map isn't updated for several month

There is a new main road through City, it's on google satellite photo, but road is not adjusted in google maps.

Instructions how to drive is very wrong.

This is reported but nothing has happened for 6-8 month.

It's not a small road, it's the new main road from Asia to Europe.

This to unload the roads inside City limits.

Road is very empty due to miss directions in google maps.

Here is a few samples:

1.You shouldn't change lane and go against traffic, not healthy.

2.This is still in the wrong direction.

3.U-turn here is impossible.

4.There is no roundabout here, you can't turn left, it's a bridge here, you pass under it.

Red line is where the traffic should go.

 

Let's look even closer at this mysterious roundabout.

1.Time to get back to the correct lane, which is impossible due to the fence.

2.The imaginary roundabout.

3.Secondary option, that you can't enter, as it's a bridge passing over road you're on at moment.

 

Let's review the strange turn.

When you passed the slip road to your right, you're told to turn left. 

In middle of the bridge you're supposed jump off down to road below.

Red line is where road really is.

 

I have also marked the 24h Full Auto Service for a reason.

Guess why it's opened 24h a day?

A clue is;

Allowed speed on main road is 140km/h, some trucks even keep this speed.

When they realize map and road isn't correct, they stop.

Here you don't go to the nearest exit and try to figure out what's wrong, you just stop.

You can even see cars backing up a few hundred meters in rush hour on this road.

Result, bended metal and bones.

 

Before this road was used much more, but in very bad condition.

After restoration and new path of it, it's almost dead.

Now big trucks go through city, instead of taking the new transit road around City.

This is just one small part of this road.

It looks great when you look at route through City, but it's recalculated constantly while driving on this section, new directions every time and you end up inside city center.

 

Road was under construction for a long time, almost updated daily in google maps, then updates of road stopped totally.

 

Is there anybody who can help with this?

Re: What to do when map isn't updated for several month

I'm sorry, but Feedback is currently the only option to get roads added or repositioned.  If you have already reported the issues then additional feedback is not necessary.

 

If the information cannot easily be confirmed in the imagery then Google might have to confirm it elsewhere before they can make the changes.  What can always be helpful is to make a GPS trace as you drive through, post that online, and then link to it in your feedback.

Re: What to do when map isn't updated for several month

I'll modify my post a bit as I notice you said you provided feedback 8 months ago.  At that time the options were:

 

  • You provided it by making a Map Maker edit
  • You provided it by using one of the feedback systems in Map Maker
  • You provided general feedback in Maps

The current way to report a new road is to use the specific option for doing so in Send Feedback within Maps, which was not an option back then.  I would thus encourage you to submit your feedback for the need for new roads to be drawn via that method.
