This kind of thing is why I hate Google Maps. There is no way to ensure that edits are carried out based on your local knowledge, whereas with OpenStreetMap you can just go make the changes that need to be made. It's been very satisfying for me to go contribute to OpenStreetMap when I see that paths are added or changed, so that the map reflects reality. Meanwhile Google Maps won't even move an entire park that is in the wrong place.

I can edit my street as a dead end to lower bar traffic, cool!

You’d still get plenty of traffic from Google Maps, etc.—it would only be the cool people who stopped using your street.

People do check this stuff for vandalism.
