Google Maps: how to notify if a street is with wrong information

Google Maps lets users report problems with the description of a street or highway in their city. With the feature, which is present in the web version of the service, you can tell Google if the place is described wrongly, if the car is closed, if it is a private street or if the road does not exist. In this way, the user collaborates with the platform and prevents other people from being exposed to errors on the map.
