Yeah, I mean, someone has to provide the information. If one day, there’s a full bridge, and the next day it’s deconstructed for repairs, Google can’t magically know; some information needs to be pushed out to be parsed and updated. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was simply done by construction co. without proper filing etc. very few nations have the extreme regulations that U.S. has - it’s one of America’s redeeming qualities. Of course, that may not always be the case. But yknow.
I suppose it depends on the locale, but I’m my experience, the cities I’ve lived in update the gis maps and send change updates to Google very regularly, where they sit unimplemented for months.
Blindly following directions without awareness of the situation around you is always your fault. A failure to block the road is the fault of whoever’s responsible for the road, but never the map.
what if it was a paper map? would the mapping company be liable?
put the blame where it belongs; on the construction company who failed to block an unnavigable, dangerous piece of road.
Yeah I mean it would have been good if google maps could have prevented this but like the same thing could have happened to someone without a map

Yeah I can see that being a problem too. Shrug.
I used to travel by paper map for like all of the 90s and 00s. I can reliably say, it was never the map’s fault.
A paper map doesn’t route by itself, differently from map apps such as Google Maps, HERE Maps and OpenStreetMaps.
It’s completely irrelevant. It’s not magic.
