   Check it on OpenStreetMaps. Google uses that as a data source.
   
   Apple and Microsoft are using OSM more heavily than Google, but you can find OSM contributors reporting that their specific changes quickly appear on Google Maps

     google maps told me to make a left turn that was actually not permitted. so, i tried to report it, somehow, flag the directions for review.

     it turns out… you can’t? google maps offers no mechanism to report routes, even when it tells you to do illegal or dangerous things.

     this is unfortunately very common — algorithms that are impervious to feedback — and it has dark implications for how we treat people ?.
