Up in Chicagoland, Illinois Route 390 (also known as the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway) has been a toll road since July 5th, 2016...

Up in Chicagoland, Illinois Route 390 (also known as the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway) has been a toll road since July 5th, 2016...

There aren't any parameters for marking toll roads in mapmaker, so a regional lead won't be able to help with this one.   I'd suggest using "send feedback" link in google maps to report the issue.

Updates:

I have a request down in Bath, NC where NC 99 is signed along what should be NC 92. A blue line along the road has been there since I made the edit but I don't know why it continues to be unrevised.

Approved.

Furthermore FL 589 should not be shown south of FL 60

Approved.

For whatever reason this interchange on VA 150 got an exit number - the exits on VA 150 are unnumbered (and even if they weren't, 25 would not be the right number).

Exit numbers are not a feature that we can edit, so the best course of action is to click on the "send feedback" link in google maps while zoomed to that location and report the issue.

For some reason, I-80 in Pennsylvania is labeled "Christopher Columbus Highway" . Apparently, it is designated as that in Ohio and New Jersey (although I don't recall seeing signs, to be honest), although it is definitely not that in PA. If anything, it's the Z.H. Confair Memorial Highway or the Keystone Shortway.

In Goldsboro, NC at the I-795/US-70 Bypass interchange, the ramp carrying traffic from I-795 South to US-70 Bypass West is still missing. It's been open since October 17, 2015.

http://www.witn.com/home/headlines/Western-section-of-US-70-Goldsboro-Bypass-opens-Saturday-333651791.html

The segment was mapped, it was just marked as "started" so it was invisible.   I've marked it as "completed" but it's pending Google moderation for approval.   Once approved it should show up.

That ramp is now showing up on Google Maps. Thanks!

Yes it was approved 17 hours ago and I was just coming back to let you know.

Here's a screenshot of CR 118 near Bracebridge, ON

https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.0560806,-79.4404006,11z

For some reason, it shows as CR 118 West, instead of just CR 118, and it definitely looks weird. Would you be able to fix this?
Thanks

That sign is actually correct. I'm not sure why anyone would call a road #West (I'm looking at you I-35E and I-35W).

Really? Well that's embarrassing! I didn't think Ontario had any (county) route numbers like this. Sorry TrevorB

There's also an edit to show the whole route of WY 113 in eastern Crook County (near Moorcroft/Pine Haven).

[WillWeaverRVA]

For some reason, Theme Park Way has a "Route 99" shield on it - it's actually frontage road F-099, and should be in a rectangle like other Virginia frontage roads I've seen on Google Maps. In Street View, it shows up as "State Rte 99".

This is almost nitpicking, but this piece of "N 5th St" is actually 5th Avenue.

This street, Dr. Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard was completed from Governors Drive to Pelham Avenue, and needs to be added:

Also, this intersection got redone:

Here's my rough drawing of the new re-alignment:

Google was being weird about Theme Park Way, but I'll try again. Got the 5th Ave.

This segment of TN 394 is part divided, part 5-lane, and was once marked yellow.  Not sure when it got downgraded to white.  (Can't recall if the continuation of 394 to US 11W was originally marked yellow or not.)

[SD Mapman]

Additionally, there are numerous data corrections (no auto traffic-ing roads through lakes and roads through private fields, new roads, fixed road names, etc.) throughout the whole of Crook County WY (mainly near Pine Haven and Keyhole) and in northern Lawrence County SD.

[freebrickproductions]

The northbound lanes here ain't showing up still:

So basically, it should be reverted back to what it was before, as shown in the quoted screenshot above. This requires changing the section in the screenshot below back to being "118 West" in the flowerpot (i.e. trapezoid) shield.

It's labeled as a Major Artery, which is correct for that stretch.

Approved all of the ones I could find. Let me know if I missed any.

Put in a request to revert, but as last time, will have to go through Google moderation.

Thanks for looking into it.  Just curious, wouldn't the stretch between US 11E and US 421 be classified as an expressway?  Divided median, few intersections, 55 MPH most of the way?

I've had a number of edit requests denied despite being correct.  If I provide links to government documents showing that I'm correct, the reviewers generally either just ignore me or say that their sources show they're right without giving any explanation of what those sources are.  Here are some of my edits that were denied:

Sounds like Rand McNally.  I once sent several corrections to them, and the only ones that got changed were the ones I provided satellite imagery or street-view links for.  The ones where I dug up the actual project information didn't get changed till years later.

There's a few more name fixes near Spearfish (N Tinton Rd, Tom Ct, 100th St, Beaver Oaks Pl, Voorhees Ln), one more road that doesn't actually exist in Keyhole Reservoir, a lake that is a field near McNenny SFH (the deletion needs to be approved), and an edit to extend the WY 113 markings into Pine Haven itself (to Lakeview Dr).

There's also a new development called the Timbers, but I can't find where those edits were.

VA 409 is no longer on any part of Providence Road (it was decommissioned in 2001 - there is actually a different VA 409 located here on G.W. King Blvd).
