My apologies if this is too off topic as this does include mention of Google Maps. I know Google Maps and Waze are under the same company (Alphabet) but are operated separately.
There are quite a few roads in New Mexico (Las Cruces in particular) that have old state highway designations on Google Maps. One example is Amador and Lohman Avenue, which used to have the NM-342 designation up until the mid 2000s. NMDOT has returned many state highways within cities back to city control/maintenance and thus the state route status has been revoked.
Luckily Waze has been pretty good with not signing any of these state highways that don’t exist anymore.
One small error might be alternate signing Lohman Avenue as Doña Ana County road 76 (CR-76) where there are no such route shields along that stretch of road. There also appear to be many county roads here in Doña Ana County that aren’t marked in real life but are designated as numbered county roads on Waze & Google Maps.
Would anyone know the proper contacts to discuss this issue on Google Maps with NM-342? I’ve tried multiple times making a report on Google Maps but it always gets closed by someone at Google. Google shut down their Map Maker program and forums, so there’s no way I can reach someone directly.
Regarding county roads here on Waze & Google Maps, would anyone know the proper data source to reference county roads (like a county road log book)? Also, should we be signing roads an alternate county road number designation even when there are no such signs in real life?
Thanks in advance,
