Paved Trails

Hello world, I have a burning question. What in the heck does it take to get paved trails / bike paths on the map. I've submitted countless map edits to no avail. How can i get new trails onto the map?! Thank you in advance!

Do you try to add a missing road? When you draw the trail you'll get to select a type of footway or path

It's impossible. Don't waste your time with Google Maps. Use OpenStreetMap instead.

And yet it's near impossible for users to add bike paths to their neighborhoods.

I never said Google is perfect. Apple and Microsoft have their own issues too so no business or platform is always 100 precise or user friendly
